1. Moldvay's Labyrinth: Someone has made a dungeon crawler based on Moldvay Basic D&D. Apple phone and Android!
2. When in doubt, fuck up the moon! Save Vs. Worm does just that in this fantastic post about moon men that crawl from their lunar haunts to raid the earth! Also has a cool calendar.
3. Combat in Abstract: Over at Press the Beast, there is a lengthy discussion on old-school combat shortcuts.
4. Barrowmaze Retrospective: Having run both Barrowmaze and Archaia this is a fair evaluation of my own experience and why Nightwick continues to enchant after 100+ sessions.
5. Ah, Delicious in Dungeon!: Skerples has the Monster Menu-All of the classic AD&D Monster which "takes all the creatures in [the AD&D Monster Manual], divides them by flavour and effect, and gives random tables and neat little rules for some of them".
6. Known Spells of Wizards Past: At Half Again As Much, the good Dr. Curious looks at their father's D&D known spell list, which contains 400+ different spells across 14 levels. While they contain the old standards, they also span the mundane (Summon Frog) to the wicked sounding (Wailing Wheel of Fire). Its a fantastic resource that reminds up how free-wheeling Dungeons & Dragons once was before being standardized (perhaps too much) by convention.
* Bonus because I am thinking about NPCs as of late. Here is an interesting perspective on creating NPCs using: Name, rough age, notable physical detail. Skill, Skill, Skill. One Obsession. One Secret. One Burden
