An Exegesis on First Edition AD&D

[thegreyelf]

As some of you may be aware, I've been doing a series on my Wasted Lands blog about AD&D first edition. I'm beginning with a close reading of the DMG, and will then move on to the PHB and hopefully work my way through each book. I'm not sure how close I'll get into the monster books, as I'm not sure what close readings of a bunch of monster stats will yield. But we'll see.

I've tagged the posts for easy reference (I just posted part 31 yesterday and am up to page 90 in the DMG).

Here's the latest post:

Blogger seems to have messed up the file names for some odd reason--though that says "part 22," it does indeed go to part 31.

Awesome! Hopefully I have some down-time at work tomorrow -- I need to catch up! Exalt! ;D

I read a couple of the entries and they were interesting but it is difficult to read them in series because the links are not in place. Could you put together an index post, or else put in links from each one to the next?

[thegreyelf]

Yeah, blogger had a fart a few months ago and messed up all the links. I'll see what I can do about maintaining an index.

Cool, thanks. I'm looking forward to continuing to read the rest of the series.
