"Like the Basic DnD Holmes Blue Book there are references to the larger rule set embodied by the 5e PHB, DMG, and MM. I am fine with that as obviously one purpose of this FREE PDF is to be a very large brochure to sell the core rulebooks."

Due to Cuba and Bluesfest tonight's game is going to start later than usual and be minus one player. So we're pulling out DCC and I'm going to run a twist on one of the most classic of D&D encounters - the Mad Hermit from the Keep on the Borderlands - involving endless stairs, matryoshka trees, and a bee hive of insanity.

Here are a few covers you may use, for your new 5ed !

DM David points out the old school module references in the humorous disclaimer on the first page of the new Basic D&D. One is a reference to the Bugbear Lair (Cave H) in the Caves of Chaos in B2.

Anybody in the UK remember this article?

Anybody in the UK remember this article? "An Introduction to Fantasy Wargames" by Steve Jackson (the UK fellow of Games Workshop /Fighting Fantasy, not the American of SJG). The article, which may be a flier or torn from a magazine/book, was spotted recently in an Ebay auction for a UK Holmes Basic Set. Google didn't turn up any hits except for a much later GW book by a different author.
