This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Old School D&D makes me curious about stuff

I was reading through Holmes' D&D Easter Eggs and got puzzled about entries like the Bronze Mask and Cie.

It made me search for stuff pretty much all morning, and fired up my imagination.

I LOVE this. Makes me want to learn more about stuff.

QuoteAnd his August 1976 "Adventure of the Giant Chameleon" in Alarums & Excursions #13 mentions a scroll of "charm mollusc" that later came in handy with the kraken in the Adventure of the Sorcerer's Isle (the tale of which was never told).

Anyone have any idea if this and the other Holmes anecdotes from "Alarums & Excursions" have been reproduced online anywhere?
