[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5092143, member: 18280"] It's been done. As he worded it, I agree. As far as mining skills go, BD&D didn't give you that information, but AD&D 1e did tell you (in the Dungeoneer's Survival Guide) how to figure out how long it would take your dwarf to survey a region and discover what minerals could be mined in that region, as well as how long it would take to play the region out, what had to be done to turn raw ore into metals, etc., etc., etc. Again, remember that the Basic book was only 128 pages. And remember that, despite your claims to the contrary, it had rules for things outside the dungeon, and outside of combat/looting. Examine, if you would, module B1. Certain items, if looted, can be identified as belonging to the lost heroes whose fortress you are exploring. You display them at your peril. Looting can have consequences. Examine, if you would, module T1. Certain items, if looted, can be identified as belonging to the villians. You display them at your peril. Looting (and, in this case, killing) can have consequences. Combat and looting have always been mainstays; the game has not always been "all about" combat and looting. RC [/QUOTE]
