@archon @BLKfeatherPress I love historical games, but the presence of Magic aids the GM immensely, allowing things to be handwaved that wouldn't be possible in a more prosaic setting.

@Jamie_Devall @KevinLamb74 @YoDanno Ahh that's right, forbidden love

[Wayne's Books @Waynes_Books]

@KevinLamb74 @YoDanno I'm playing Gilthanas and Tas in our Wed Dragonlance game. Just started w him last session.
If anybody has some Gilthanas RP hooks for me, fire away. Tas is easy for me.

@WargodWargaming @DungeonNoir @YoDanno @rpgcyrusrite The Traveller LBB reprints were so great. The long format - with 2 LBB pages per reprint page - is very handy, staying open hands-free at the table. Spent a few lunches reading through them.

[Wayne's Books @Waynes_Books]

@YoDanno Official Traveller LBB reprints, ca. 2000. Now collector's items themselves.

@DungeonNoir @YoDanno @rpgcyrusrite No, they're official reprints released by FFE, ca 2000.
I asked Marc if they were ever coming back... Nope. The films they used are incompatible w modern printing.

@LawDogStrikes I've used the Deck of Many Things a couple of times, learned my lesson as a DM: It's pure chaos. Guaranteed your campaign will take a turn down the gravel road. I wouldn't use it again, except as a prelude to Tomb of Horrors perhaps. Madmen going in there would enjoy the DMT.

@AgrivarDragon @Blackmoor_Film Differing Ability Roll methods are baked into AD&D. We used 4D6 drop lowest.

@shondanedleeds Awesome, you are most welcome

Got a couple of GAMMA WORLD 1st edition boxes going to the shop. Gonzo post-apocalyptic Nort America started here. Over at my gameblog, I have a love-letter in photos and some background you likely don't know; link in the comments.

Night Below: An Underdark Campaign (1995): An Entire AD&D Setting in the Subterranean Realm

[Wayne's Books @Waynes_Books]

NIGHT BELOW (1995), a pair going to the shop. A complete Underdark campaign, with amazing art by Arnie Swekel, plus old school pieces by David A. Trampier and Erol Otus. What a hidden gem! I've got a deep-dive into the art and printings at my photoblog; link in the comments.

@CGibsonWriting Hahahaha, good thing I didn't use a $100 bill for scale

[Wayne's Books @Waynes_Books]

@A_DungeonDelver @MizukaOhsaki I've created campaign worlds in the past. But ultimately I have more fun GMing in published settings. Partly because of the "shared" aspect. And partly because I've found that I'm more creative when I work inside of constraints, oddly enough.

[Wayne's Books @Waynes_Books]

@ez2bFISH @laxmere @Nerdcognito Never seen that particular set.
I have profiled a similar Woodcraft set.

Finding the old books you want is a trade-off, time vs money. If you have time to throw at the task, visiting a lot of little bookstores will eventually reward you. Every time you visit a city, go hit their bookstores.
On the downside, a number of the Appendix N type books are in the collectible realm, with prices to match. But a lot of the little stores don't know that.
Luckily (for you), fiction reading in America is plummeting fast. It's hard for paperbacks to compete with screens.
There are a few hundred titles that used to be reliable scores for me in the 2000s... that are now nigh-worthless for resale.
