don't think I used any of the info in this issue, but I really liked the cover....

one of my DMs back in the day ran a short campaign set there, although we warped the setting and put the city in the WoG, somewhere in the south end of Nyrond, IIRC...

1E: the World of Greyhawk boxed set. Used it a lot 2E: Going to cheat here and say 'The Forgotten Realms'. Specifically, all those boxed sets that expanded the world in all directions. 3E: Well, the only non-core product I have for this one is the Nyambe book, and only because I contributed...

the official expansion of the druid's levels was nice, but.... I can't recall anyone ever in any of the groups I was in actually running a druid character. Which was odd, because when it was all so new back in 1E days and there wasn't a lot of official material, I saw people trying about...

so long as no one gets hurt, yeah, they're fine... but healing spells are needed the most at first level. Considering that B2 was the module that came in the box (and was likely the first adventure for a lot of groups), they must have run away a lot to heal up naturally (slowly) until leveling...

Do I remember correctly that clerics couldn't cast spells at first level? Which kinda made their whole purpose moot until they leveled up....

checks into the thread for the first time in weeks, and sees we're talking about... house prices hey, did I ever mention that I paid my mortgage off last year?

1E was most of my gaming experience, as my job/life forced me out of the hobby not long after 2E came out. That said... 1E was a bit of a grind in trying to figure out what some of the rules meant and deciding which official rules to keep and which optional rules to keep. A lot of groups I...

The Satanic Panic was always something that happened to people 'way over there', so far as I was concerned. Which was kinda weird in that I grew up in a tiny very conservative MT town, and.... nobody cared. My first published article in Dungeon listed my home town plain and clear, but I never...

I remember seeing the ads for that, never did buy it. don't think I ever used anything from this issue... sadly, this one came out during a two-year span when I was out of college, trying to make my way in the world, and didn't have a gaming group for a time...

getting into reading this a week late I had some mixed views on EGG even way back in the day when all this stuff was happening. I loved his created works, the books and modules; he had a real talent for it. OTOH, there were quite a few signs that he wasn't the greatest business manager...

enjoy your retirement, Chris.

I don't think I ever used any of the info from them, but Greenwood's articles on the Nine Hells were great reading....

from what I remember about buying D&D stuff in the 90s, most of it was through mail order; can't remember the name of the company, but I could call them with product numbers and they'd send it. TSR/Dragon magazine was helpful with this, as they had an 'upcoming products' list every issue with...

EGG talked in later issues about his idea for D&D 2E... it would have been vastly different from the one we got, with everything from 1E, OA, and UA blended in together.

2E was a pretty good edition, although I didn't care for a lot of the cosmetic changes done to it. But I didn't get to game in it for long before my job/life forced me out of the gaming life, just a couple of years. Most of my gaming years were spent in 1E. Still, I'll always remember 2E for...

are you a grognard if you used to play way back in the old days and don't anymore but hang around on here out of nostalgia about those good old days, but don't really care that lotsa people are playing new versions that aren't really anything like the ones you played?

I got the set way back in 1980, my first introduction to D&D/RPGs, although I didn't do much with it after finding out about AD&D. Still have the rulebook, but alas, everything else in it crumbled away. Except the chits, which I used once and tossed in the trash soon after.... went out and...

love the cover on this one, but I don't think I made use of any of the D&D stuff inside, not even the monsters.

I'm in charge of it? Well, I'm sure you will all find other hobbies to indulge in...
