...and came upon this interesting tidbit under the Men - Buccaneer entry: For every 50 buccaneers there is a 15% chance for a cleric of 12th. 13th. 14th. or 15th level and a 10% chance for a magic-user of 6th. 7th, or 8th level. Wait, what? If you encounter 300 buccaneers there's a...

Well look at that. https://wizkids.com/dd-classic-collection-monsters-a-c/

What would you guys consider to be the best 'wizard tower' adventures in the OSR? I am looking for suggestions.

Alas, not *that* Lord Dunsany, but it's still cool to see one of his descendants doing something noteworthy. https://getpocket.com/explore/item/people-think-you-re-an-idiot-death-metal-irish-baron-rewilds-his-estate?utm_source=pocket-newtab Blech. He's a death metal fan. Eww.

...and it was akshually kind of informed. https://www.cracked.com/article_30916_meet-the-tomb-of-horrors-aka-the-most-hilariously-brutal-dd-dungeon.html

Well I'll be. I didn't realize that Noble Knight games is one city over from where I leave. This is extremely silly now that I realize I've ordered stuff from them. They have a big list of d20/3.5 books they are interested in. What a coincidence, last night I was looking at my library and...

(I know Squeen will be THRILLED with this idea) Instead of rolling 3d6 for each stat, in order, you have to play yahtzee first. THEN you take your scores from the top part of the scorecard (Ones, Twos, Threes, etc) and arrange them how you like. Anything higher than 18 will count as 18...

I'm asking because it seems to me that the only true hexcrawls that existed at the time were by third party publishers. Since I was a TSR fanboy in the 80's, I completely missed this. I don't think you can count Isle of Dread as a hex crawl. It's too disjointed, it's just a regular sandbox...

So, my group is about ready to enter the orc infested moors. I'm looking for some interesting, nonsensical, or just plain weird encounters to toss in here. (I blame the Goblin Punch blog and their entry on Wisps not named Will for inspiring me to be weirder than normal) moor /mo͝or/ noun...

I'm starting to get scared. Bryce gave out yet another "The Best" review! Has he been replaced by a doppelganger? Are we going to need to do an intervention before he starts designating Adventure Path modules as "The Best" en masse?

So yeah, everyone agrees that 2nd edition sucked, right? Or are there 2nd edition shippers out there that just aren't as visible as the 1e/5e lovers?

Dragon Issue #42 The Mansion of Mad Professor Ludlow (October 1980) Issue #42 is a Halloween issue. Wheeee! I used to seek those out back when Tom Moldvay (may he rest in peace) did his articles on the various types of undead. He actually has an article in this one, about demons, devils, and...

Dragon Issue #41 The Halls of Beoll-Dur (September 1980) zzzzzz.... Oh sorry. I'm having trouble getting through this one. It keeps putting me to sleep. This one was the third place winner of the first IDDC and I have to say there was a precipitous decline, even worse than the one between...

Dragon Issue #37 The Pit of the Oracle (May 1980) This one is the 2nd place entry to the IDDC (of which Fell Pass, previously reviewed, was the winner). Fell Pass was rather interesting, hopefully this one will be as well. The module begins with two pages or so of descriptive text about the...

I'm sure a few of you have heard the news that there's a pandemic going on. This is putting a crimp on my campaign. Anyone have any suggestions for playing D&D remotely via computer? Preferably something free-ish and easy to use for stoopid people? What are my options!

Dragon Issue #34 Doomkeep (February 1980) Doomkeep? Doomkeep. I suppose it might have been fresh and new in 1980 but this comes across as hackneyed now. This one is a tournament adventure, "The Second Official AD&D Masters Tournament". This one has a new feature. Read aloud! Yay...

Look at that, a fun Christmas themed cover by Phil Foglio. That's nice. Hmm, the date is harder to find though. December 1979, found it! Hey wait a second. So this thing wasn't monthly at first? Shows what I know. Dragon Issue #32 - Fell Pass by Karl Merris (winner of the International...

In a feeble attempt to fill the void left by Bryce's lack of access to adventures printed in Dragon magazine, here is my first review. Dragon Issue #21 - Hall of Mystery by Don Turnbull (published December 1978) While looking up when this was published I ran into this little tidbit in a prior...

Or two cities, for that matter. I have two ruined cities that the PCs might want to visit, and I'd love to hear any suggestions more modules or adventures that might help out. The first is Sannar, the City of Steam. Here's my concept: Sannar's main claim to fame in ancient times were its...
