The quest to define an edgier, more playable halfling can be clearly observed in the old Fineous Fingers comic strips from the earliest Dragon magazines as well as on the Jeff Dee cover of the 1980 module <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/A1SlavePitsCover.jpg" target="_blank">A1: Slave Pits of the Undercity</a>.  The halfling depicted there is lean, athletic, and apart from his furry feet, entirely indistinguishable from a 3e or 4e halfling.  Even back then, many gamers balked at playing doughty, bucolic homebodies, and they began to redefine halflings as the droll little wise-acres that people so many of our games today.</blockquote>
