However, given this is a book aimed at teenagers, we mustn’t forget that who made fun of who at school and who let you sit at their table in the lunchroom was of vital importance, certainly equal in your teenage mind to demonic plots.Or perhaps just a big ditz? Who’s to say when a “young woman” outgrows grinning and blushing?Heh! Gold Star is something people my age got in school for doing good work. A little shiny metallic sticker on your homework.I’m not sure how much romance <a href="https://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/GreyStarTheWizard" target="_blank">Grey Star</a> and Tanith could have got up to when every single numbered passage had them running away from thri-kreen (or whatever the Southern Magnamund equivalent were called).It is! There’s no further information about the “colleges” in the AD&D DMG, although they were fleshed out later, and had the various magic items tied to them. I always wondered if Gygax made those names up out of whole cloth, found them in an obscure source somewhere, or what.Our party now consists of a Magic-User with WIS 3 and some O.P. artifact the player’s last character left him, a cheater’s-class Cavalier, and a $@%^&! Bard. It’s awful.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Haha, true! Dalris probably got her magic flute at a flea market.I am more concerned about adult Morris Simon writing about and adult me reading about the wild beauty and gorgeous body of an underaged Dalris. As you know, here in the prudish U.S.A., anyone under the age of 18 is utterly verböten!(But yes. Of course a 15-year-old Carr could find a 15-year-old Dalris attractive and that would be perfectly normal.)Given that this the second time in a tight cluster of passages that the book has asked about and warned about the sceptre, I am torn about what to do with it. On the one hand, the O.P. artifact seems like it would come in handy when confronting A DEMON LORD. On the other hand, gamebook logic suggests the sceptre may have significant downside when we enter a cathedral full of Always-On Detect Magic paladins.Hmm…..</blockquote>
