1974 Thief rules (Gygax)
« Thread Started on Aug 14, 2012, 5:00pm »
Those of you interested in taking a look at the first draft of the Thief rules, here is "The Thief Addition," written up by Gygax in the spring of 1974.

Uploaded images are a bit too small to comfortably read.

Thanks Jon. This has been floating around the Net for a few years but it's good to see scans of the original.

Save the images, open with Microsoft Office Picture Manager or something similar, view at 200%. :)

If you click on an image you get a larger size on your screen. You can read that pretty well.

The scan has some issues with being a bit light in places... But it's interesting.

Other than just being cool in general, this also has a simple way of using thieves with LBB hit dice
