At the time, I simply wanted to explore and examine everything that went into original D&D - including the "official" material that came from it.<br /><br />It was definitely a quest, and I learned a great deal. <br /><br />Thank you for the kind words.Mothshadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417201456628056552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092712691259071542.post-69978453093978565042020-04-29T19:33:32.412-04:002020-04-29T19:33:32.412-04:00As for the spell description, I'd have to cons...As for the spell description, I'd have to consult my notes.

Five years, huh? Appears I've got my work cut out for me (*sigh*).<br /><br />Well, my project is a bit more modest and scope. I plan on incorporating only SOME rules from the supplements and The Strategic Review (if I wanted EVERYthing, I'd just play AD&D, right?). Right now I'm simply typing up the three LBBs so that I have a working text to edit; I've been finding it quite educational. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for doing this work. I see I'm not the only fool on the inter-webs chasing questing beasts.

I love your colonial/post-first contact vision for the setting.
