Message: <blockquote data-quote="hong" data-source="post: 297955" data-attributes="member: 537">Never let it be said that I never contribute anything new to a thread!The First Chapter of Genesis, the hit point version[1] In the beginning, EGG created Chainmail and the Red Book.[2] And Chainmail was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the Book. And the spirit of Arneson moved within the depths of the dungeon.[3] And EGG said, let there be alignments, and there were alignments.[4] And EGG saw the alignments, that they were good; and EGG divided the alignments into Law and Chaos.[5] And EGG called Law good, and Chaos he called bad. And the fight between Law and Chaos marked the first day.[6] And EGG said, Let there Neutrality in the midst of the alignments, and let it divide Law from Chaos.[7] And EGG made the firmament, and divided the creatures which were under the firmament from the creatures which were above the firmament: and it was so.[8] And EGG called the firmament the Dungeon. And the Dungeon and the Wilderness were the second day.[9] And EGG said, Let the creatures inside the Dungeon be gathered together unto one place, and let the treasure hoard appear: and it was so.[10] And EGG called the creatures outside the Dungeon Good; and the creatures inside the Dungeon called he Evil: and EGG saw that it was good.[11] And EGG said, Let the characters have Attributes, six in number, being Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution and Charisma: and it was so.[12] And Strength brought forth Fighters, and Intelligence yielding Magic-Users, and Wisdom Clerics, and Dexterity Thieves: and EGG saw that it was good.[13] And the character classes were the third day.[14] And EGG said, Let there be Hit Points in the character sheet to divide the living from the dead; and let them be for levels, and for classes, and for weapons, and spells:[15] And let them be for rules in the firmament of Dungeons and Dragons to give form upon the game: and it was so.[16] And EGG made two great rules; the "To Hit" Roll to rule the day, and the Saving Throw to rule the night: he made Armor Class also.[17] And EGG set them in the firmament of Dungeons and Dragons to give form upon the game,[18] And to rule over the Hit Points and over the Classes, and to divide the strong from the weedy: and EGG saw that it was good.[19] And the "To Hit" Roll and the Saving Throw were the fourth day.[20] And EGG said, Let the Dungeons bring forth abundantly the Evil monsters that prey on Good, and Dragons that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of Dungeons and Dragons.[21] And EGG created spells, and every spellcasting creature that moveth, they all used the Vancian mechanic, which was Fire-and-Forget, and Spell Memorisation, and Spellbooks, and Spell Components, such as bat guano: and EGG saw that it was good.</blockquote>
