As it happens, amongst other things I will also have hooks for Ruins of Adventure (the 1e module based on Pools of Radiance) queued up as rumours in their starting town of Shadowdale in case they want to go and investigate.

Curse of the Azure Bonds? The module it was based on was 2nd edition. But the computer game was a sequel to Pool of Radiance which was 1st edition.

The campaign set was for first edition rather than 2nd edition (although there was a later 2e version), and is useful because the Cyclopaedia can be referenced by the players and the big maps are handy. There are some 1e modules, but not that many really. Under Ilefarn is quite useful though.

I'm actually about to start a 1e Forgotten Realms campaign using this box set at my local shop.

I have plenty of OSRIC for myself, this is for players general use.

The typos are annoying, but don't seem too problematic. It's only spellcasters that will really need their own copy.

Is there any indication as to how much the unnamed person bumped up monster hit points by just before publication?

I'm currently trying to settle on my next campaign. I was originally planning on using OSRIC, because of the really cheap Players Guide you can now get for it. But the ready availability of these POD versions of the originals is certainly making me reconsider. What's the binding like?

I have to admit that with Backgrounds being a thing in 5e, I never really saw the point in there being more than the four basic classes; Fighter, Wizard, Rogue, Cleric. Just expand the Backgrounds.

To clarify for them, the standees are with the next issue; which comes in at the regular price point of £8.99.

In the 4e campaign I started running before COVID shut everything down and it fell apart, I had each of my players create not only a character but also to outline a kingdom that they were the heir to. The idea being that they were part of a league of nations, with a tradition of sending their...

There is so little supporting material for adventure writing for this game, and I cannot find any online communities discussing it. But I am likely to be running it soon, so I knocked up some inspiration tables. I might do a blog post about it, and possibly work it into a generator. But for now...

That whole thing with James Ward getting suspended has been something of a nightmare. My Facebook feed yesterday was pretty much entirely people loudly not letting it go. The thing was actually resolved very quickly, when another admin heard about it. But you wouldn't know that from all the...

The original intention, yes. But it hasn't been that since the Parker brothers released it.
