[QUOTE="On Puget Sound, post: 4671999, member: 68988"] 1976. [I]Eldritch Wizardry[/I] has just been published, and along with the psionics and other weirdness, there are random outdoor encounter tables in the back. My friend and I have been rolling 6 characters each and sending the party of 12 into the wilderness. The one or two who survive and make it back become 2nd level, and are now given names. They recruit some buddies and repeat, until after many weeks we have a party of 4 in the level teens; the highest is my 17th level hobbit thief. Yes, a hobbit; this was before the Tolkien estate's lawyers got all medieval on Gary Gygax. Random result: Lycanthrope. Random type: Other. Roll on animal table: Irish Deer (sort of a dire elk). Number appearing: 3-30; rolled 30. TPK, stampeded to death by were-elk. Later that year saw [I]Gods, Demigods and Heroes[[/I], which statted the various pantheons including their psionic stats. The chaotic evil wizard in the group cast Gate to summon Odin, psionically dominated him and ordered him to cut down Yggdrassil, the tree that holds up the Universe. TUK, by divine annihilation.
