"HOPELESS CHARACTERS"

"HOPELESS CHARACTERS"
Sometimes the universe of chance allows a character to appear who is below average in everything. At the Dungeon Master's discretion, such a character might be declared unsuitable for dangerous adventures and left at home. Another character would then be rolled to take his place. There is enough chance in the dungeon encounters, however, that sometimes a character like this will survive and advance to a position of power and importance.

Fantastic cross-section from The Dungeoneer Journal #23 (1980)

Fantastic cross-section by Derek Watson from The Dungeoneer Journal #23 (Oct/Nov 1980). I have this issue & it looks even better in print. Stock it with some monsters & run it as a starter dungeon!

That funny moment when you wonder if David Trampier's cover illustration of a party wandering through a fungus garden (with characters later added by DCS) was visually inspired by this sequence in the 1959 film "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

Here's something long-forgotten: Gary Gygax's ELDER WORLDS, a sci-fiversion of Lejendary Adventures.

Here's something long-forgotten: Gary Gygax's ELDER WORLDS, a sci-fi version of Lejendary Adventures. The original draft was put up on his gygax dot com website back in the late 90's in ten parts. The site is long gone, but the whole EW section is preserved in the Internet Archive. #lejendaryadventures #gygax #garygygax
