I can't see them during the day (social media blocked at work), which is mostly when I have time for ENworld, but that's a bit of a special case.For those that do not go to Twitter can you see the content of the linked Twitter posts? Or should I copy them in? I like to leave the link in case the original Twitter poster wants to delete them. I have made exceptions and I this would count.
Noted.I can't see them during the day (social media blocked at work), which is mostly when I have time for ENworld, but that's a bit of a special case.
We continue on our tour of each and every D&D TSR release. I showed you all my first print copy of Chainmail last week. The first two printings of Chainmail were actually distributed by Guidon Games, not TSR. Well, here my copy of the 3rd printing released by TSR in 1975. Enjoy!
I got gifted a copy of Supplement I: Greyhawk which I read for inspiration and confused the hell out of me as a young'n, set beside my Mentzer 1983 Basic and Cook 1981 Expert sets. But I thankfully never lost it, and now I always have it handy when grownup me plays OD&D.I had that (3rd) edition of Chainmail once upon a time and an early OD&D booklet back when I was a teenager and someone older gave them to me. Unfortunately, I was a knucklehead who simply thought "out of date" and cast them aside and at some point amid family moving and then my own moving out to college got lost in some purge of "junk."![]()
We continue on our tour. While the OD&D boxes each contained 3 booklets - Men & Magic, Monsters & Treasure, and The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures - which are technically releases themselves, I want to pick up in 1975 with the supplements. Up today the 1st one - Greyhawk.
They don't, though. At least not on the cover as shown here. Swords & Spells literally is miniatures rules. It's a set of battle-scale miniatures wargame rules FOR D&D*, kind of the reverse of how D&D was partially based on Chainmail.The final TSR OD&D supplement released in 1976 was Swords & Spells. It is cool to see how they still refer to D&D as game with "miniature rules" as opposed to an RPG. Anyway, here are my two copies.
