    The Dangerous Book for Boys

    I have two boys -- 6 years and 2 years. I heard about this book and went to Amazon to look it up. For the record: I have not read this book yet (will order it tonight from home). I love the interview with the author at the bottom of the Amazon page...

    Ghostbusters Costume

    I've decided to be a Ghostbuster this Halloween. I need to start working on my proton pack and other gear now, so I'm not rushed and harried nearer October. I've searched the Web for info, I been watching the movie with an eye for detail, and I've started looking around for things around me to...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Gary, Did you have an explanation (open or secret) in your campaigns for the existance of so many magic items in the game? Were they being continuously created by NPC mages, or were they ancient artifacts from prodigious eras, or something else? Did you consider magic items rare and wondrous...

    Treasure and leveling comparisons: AD&D1, B/ED&D, and D&D3 - updated 11-17-08 (Q1)

    What is the "appropriate action" after a battle to discover a shield in the belly of a giant lizard? ;-) There are at least three adventures I can think of off the top of my head that had treasure inside a monster's belly -- these two instances in The Village of Hommlet, the ring of...

    Treasure and leveling comparisons: AD&D1, B/ED&D, and D&D3 - updated 11-17-08 (Q1)

    I’ve read this assertion before, but I haven’t seen this in the adventure modules I’ve gone through. The vast majority of treasure is not hidden. And that treasure that is hidden, is not much, and only rarely “ridiculously” or “devilishly” (as someone else said) well hidden. The Moathouse's...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Yes, it does. Thanks for responding. I have follow up questions, if you don’t mind more. What age did you think/consider the average D&D Player (character player and DM)? What mentality, maturity, and experience level did you write to? Did you write for 13-year-old kids, 25-year-old adults, or...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Gary, When you designed the game and wrote the DMG and other materials for a DM (including adventure modules and Dragon magazine articles), were you thinking of the DM as a participant separate from the character players? A DM as someone who always was the DM, and someone to whom you [the...

    Treasure and leveling comparisons: AD&D1, B/ED&D, and D&D3 - updated 11-17-08 (Q1)

    AD&D1 - The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth Here is the treasure (gold and magic) from another AD&D1 adventure. But this one is outside the "adventure path" of ToEE and GDQ. Since the xp issue seems to be such a troublesome point for many people, I didn't bother figuring it up for this module...

    MSH in the 80s

    Hello? <tap, tap, tap> Is this thing on? I'd really like some feedback on whether using TV characters as "real" characters in the campaign would be a neat or a bad thing. Also, as a secondary question, what would you like in a super hero game: Slugfests -- bash and crash Saving people in...

    MSH in the 80s

    Thanks. I don't really plan on playing up the characters all that much. I'm thinking of them more as little Easter eggs in the game. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Quasqueton

    MSH in the 80s

    When Thunderfoot suggested Higgins, I thought "Perfect! I can't believe I didn't remember him." Then T. Foster said Benson, I thought, "Yes, another Perfect!" Of the two, I think I should go with Benson, as the gentleman character is filled by Mr. French. Benson would let me, as GM/Judge, get...

    MSH in the 80s

    I am soon going to be running a Marvel Super Heroes game. The campaign will be set in the mid 1980s, a year after many super heroes have disappeared. [The Heroes lost the Secret War.] The PC heroes are going to be gathered by a wealthy man by the name of Michael Mage. His manor will be the base...

    They Killed Cap!

    I'd appreciate anyone who reads the books to post here when Cap is officially seen/revealed to be alive "again". I've got a bunch of people at work to tell, "See, I told ya." Even if it happens months from now. I'm bookmarking this thread to revisit for this info. Thanks, in advance. Quasqueton
