Awesome. No thief for me, though! Otherwise, I am all in!
ReplyDeleteSo, no Manual of Aurania (where thieves came from)?
ReplyDeleteThieves originated with the group behind the Manual of Aurania, but there's no thief in the Manual. The original version of the thief was created by Daniel Wagner who was part of this group at Aero Hobbies in LA. See here for the rest of the story: playingattheworld.blogspot.com - Gygax's "The Thief Addition" (1974)
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected. I once knew the story, but time (and old age - my story I'm sticking to it) caused me to mis-remember.
ReplyDeleteIs there a better version of the Thief Addition that's easier to read?
ReplyDeleteGerald Williams Not the original, but I made a reference sheet for it:
