    White Dwarf Reflections #20

    I'll always have fond memories of Grakths Crag [sic], as it is the second published D&D adventure I ever played, back when everything was still shiny and new. Indeed, I still remember how we thought of the pudding in the shaft as "black mold" and how we - with our English lessons fresh behind us...

    D&D General What modules have you reused for multiple campaigns

    I typically use my own designs for long campaigns, though sometimes mixed with (parts of) published adventures. However, I did manage to shoehorn some modules into several shorter campaigns: G2 Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl (2 times) L1 The Secret of Bone Hill* S1 Tomb of Horrors (2...

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    There can be only three (in no particular order): Avengers: Endgame (2019) - for its sheer superhero-ness Wonder Woman (2017) - for its sheer pulp-fantasy-ness Iron Man (2008) - coz it's the one I enjoyed most But since there can be only one, I'd have to go for Avengers: Endgame, because my...

    Comment by 'ilgatto' in media 'CM-0+mtns.jpg'

    Well, not really. I do have an older (2023) version of the map that does not have any names on it. However, that map does not feature the "corrected mountains" and it also lacks many corrections I've since made to newer maps.

    White Dwarf Reflections #13

    As noted, the White Dwarf #13 imps, or "Imps of the Flame" (Martin Stollery, 1979), were "of the Imp class" as per the (lawful evil) imp in the Monster Manual (1977) and, perhaps more so, The Dungeoneer #3 (1976) and, later, All the Worlds' Monsters Volume Two (1977, Mark Norton in each case)...

    White Dwarf Reflections #10

    Agreed on all accounts. I remember being allowed a quick glance at the picture of the dahdi way back when I started playing and wasn't allowed to read anything else but the PHB coz I was but a player. I must say that I liked the picture very much and that it left me dying to know what the...

    White Dwarf Reflections #9

    Cool! Had to look them up and definitely gonna use Sidney Sime for handouts. Re Polly Wilson: She's got this style that is this strange mixture of naive, weird, experimental, accomplished, scrawny, and somehow constant all at the same time - hard to pin down and that is always a good thing IMHO.

    White Dwarf Reflections #9

    Quite! Probably also right up there with the best of them for the most disconcerting illustrations of ever in D&D. Done by Polly Wilson, who did a lot of terrific monster illustrations for WD. Not to detract from the artwork in the FF, but I've always considered it a bit of a shame that some of...
