  1. I need some interesting magic items to give my group. I must admit, Nimble’s sample magic items are very few and not the best.

    I want to give them some useful utility items that won’t break the game but will expand their options.

  6. Long before the Rat catchers and the Monster of the Month Patreon, a boys imagination was captured by Jason and the Argonauts, and an unlucky encounter with a Minotaur provides time to read the DND1E rules.

  11. CW: Outlaws of the North, Classic D&D Module

    I’m planning on running B5 Horror on the Hill for my nimble group. I’m changing it up a bit, and running it in Nimble. Anyone revisit this old module? Stuff they particularly liked or had to absolutely change?

    I’m removing the slide to the deeper dungeon, I’ll make another entrance they can find later.

  21. Officially, D&D did not adopt individual initiative until 3rd edition. But I feel like it was a very common house rule at the time. Certainly every other rpg I played in the 80s did it (Rolemaster, Palladium Fantasy, Warhammer FRP, Talislanta).

    Was individual initiative a common house rule in AD&D?

  26. Today after a long discussion on the NSR discord we came to the conclusion that there are indeed two different THAC0s.

    AD&D 1e people used THAC0 as an informal shorthand for the attack matrix chart, but you had to remember the six repeated 20s for particularly low ACs. But it is not defined in the AD&D rules.

    AD&D 2e officially adds THAC0 to the rules, eliminating the repeating 20s, but says a nat 20 always hits.

  31. I had no interest in old #DnD versions before encountering the #OSR which settled on #BX as a base. (This is the version of Basic D&D that came before the famous "red box" BECMI one that was the first one I saw IRL.)

    This led me on a journey to explore other versions - #HolmesBasicDnD, the #3LBB books, the supplements to those, retroclones like #SwordsAndWizardry and #WhiteBoxFMAG, and now I think I've done my exploration and ended up back where I started, with B/X. The difference being that I can explain _why_ now.

    (Short version: it's more coherent and finished than Holmes and earlier, yet still without the complications and level/power inflation of #BECMI or #ADnD.)

  36. A conversation about AD&D, and how the character to-hit matrices were in the DMG, which was “Dungeon Master Only!” material.

    I know by the 1986 character sheet product it included a spot for THAC0. I’m curious what the early AD&D sheets looked like.

    I think the 80s version of the PHB had a record sheet, but I’m uncertain.

    Anyone know where I can find a scan of these sheets:

    [Larger than actual size. The actual pin is slightly smaller than an American dime (10¢ coin).]

  42. I didn't think I'd ever go to #GameholeCon. (Nothing pissed me off; just didn't seem worth the hassle.) But Allen Hammack is running my favorite #1e adventure (C2) and doing so in 1e.

  51. Gary Coleman as Arnold Jackson walks into a comic book shop on the TV series “Diff’rent Strokes.” And look what just happens to be by the door: A display of Advanced D&D core rule books!

    From the episode “The Big Heist,” which aired Thanksgiving Day, November 26th, 1981, this is one of the earliest — if not the first — appearances of D&D in film and TV in America, predating its appearance in “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial” (June 1982) by 7 months.
