Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

Belated birthday greetings to the forums! Thanks and hats off to Merias.

Can we lose the extraneous apostrophe on the back cover?
"[...] steal it's treasure!" should be "[...] steal its treasure!"

A couple of things jumped out at me. Page 4: Under Fighter, Level 1, "Roll 1dd+1 for hit points" should be "Roll 1d6+1 for hit points". Page 5: Under Turning undead (new option), it says, "For example: if a Cleric faces 6 skeletons and successfully turns them and rolls a 4 (for HD) on 2d6, then 4 ou...

I don't find the "trade out" system to be fun or interesting. I tend to use the B/X rules for treasure determination, or sometimes the Monster & Treasure Assortment, and then tweak and change things to suit my taste.

In the original I.C.E. module Hillmen of the Trollshaws , on which this adventure is more-or-less loosely based, the room is filled with symbols of Utterdarkness, very potent magic from the Rolemaster rules. I adapted it like this: "Magical darkness fills this large room, emanating from over a hundr...

Cautiously the party negotiates the narrow staircase, which makes a bewildering multiplicity of twists and turns as it descends for over three hundred feet into the heart of the hill.

Was it William Morris who said, "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful...

Regrouping in Talugdaeri after the debacle with the trolls, our chastened heroes spend some days resting and recuperating. The loss of Pingle Rack is made good when a feisty hobbit adventurer joins the party at the Red Hooves Inn. His name is Chuffles. The slain retainer Fergus is also replaced by a...

I liked the sound of the rule and sought to use it in my B/X games but it never took root because my players gravitate to shieldless magic-users and thieves (and the odd zweihander-wielding fighter) and eventually it was forgotten. I did, however, find a natural home for it in my Old Norse duelling ...

I just wanted to chime in here and add my voice to the chorus of praise. It's a great job you're doing, Wanderer. Despite my inner voice yelling, "No! You don't need more iterations of the rules! Don't even think about it!", I know I'll be buying this. In hardback, preferably. Are you planning to do...
