The REAL Module M1

[WizarDru]

Or what bored gamers do when waiting for their meal at Outback Steakhouse.

Sure, you might have thought it was Blizzard Pass, or Maze of Zayene....but you'd be wrong.

Now, as a public service, I present to you the actual contents of Module M1: "To Mail the Unknown", reputed to have been written by Gary Gygax....at least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Enjoy.

Where are these contents? In your story hour?

Heh. Don't scare my players.

No, this is just what happens when Scorch and I were waiting for our food to come at the local Outback. We were talking about 'old school' modules, and then we saw this maze in the kid's booklet that my son wasn't very interested in at that moment....and thus what you see above was born.

Consider it certifiable proof that my children will have that their father is a total geek.

Err - Dru, did they NEED that particular proof?

Oh... Like they aren't geeks themselves! (Well Molly is a faerie princess.. not a geek per se..)

I'm sure it's something the kids will bring up to a court appointed Psycologist...

Err - Dru, did they NEED that particular proof?

Just so you know: we're sitting at the table at the restaurant where we got the pizza from, waiting for the spaghetti to arrive, and Molly tells me the joke you told her.

We're still working on the timing, though. I think she finally gets it.

Can you post a key for that map? I can't tell which is the paladin-killing room.

See that orange spot and the orange arrow? Classic trigger trap that shoots an arrow of paladin-slayin +5. This was 1st edition, after all.

You see the secret here is that there is no paladin killing room. only Elf, Halfling, Co-hort, rogue, mage, and cleric killing rooms but the elf paladin is uneffected by all rooms. (and all laws of chance as well.)
