[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 6088558, member: 518"] Its no secret Tom is/was my biggest gaming Hero, next to Gary. Although I had started a few years earlier with the LBBs, and we routinely referenced the MM, and a Holmes book, B/X is still my fave version of the game. Frankly,at the time it managed to explain several things I had never really understood and ignored, or houseruled. Deepite my waning love for D&D and my new infatuation with Runequest at the time,I was so inspired by Tom's edit I immediately converted my existing hodgepodge D&D game over to BX and just used the Advanced books for items,.spells, and inspiration. Much the same as my current Od&D game. BX is a tight, well written, easily referenced at the table set of rules. Something no other edition previous or.since has managed to do. But Tom's modules like B4, X1, and X2 are also some of my most cherished D&D items. Lords of Creation was another fantastic effort. I find it very sad he was taken from us before the OSR could have given him an opportunity to grace us with some more old school magic. More than any of the old guard, I would want Moldvay penned OSR products. [/QUOTE]
