Indeed, I agree. Quite a few people didn't even know about it until last year.

I guess it depends on your perspective. It sister TSR module is O1-The Gem & the Staff. :wink:

I'm about to run it for my son.  It looks like it could be a lot of fun if you hold to the 1/2 hour time limit.

Well I doubt if I'll spend the $2000 to find out, but let me know how it goes!  I'm always on the lookout for short-and-sweet one session adventure ideas.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

No comparison. Fazzle will always be my favorite TSR D&D item.

What's that about having to be "run with its own outlined magic system"?
(Or is that in O1 as well? :oops:)

I had to start in the middle owing to that time factors involved in checking out the pages in Steve Marsh's auction; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 8738633238 ;)

The in-depth connections & content for that later material makes a lot more sense to me, now, even though the framework I'd worked out after the first set of auctions was essentially correct. Excellent timing: thank you, Frank! :)



Just finished scan-reading the whole bundle: 3,000-3,500 pages or thereabouts? Now has lots of paper markers in it! :lol:

Some intriguing material/comments to follow up on, too...

([ed.] Oops; I'm following Stephen's wording! ^^ )

Nothing to that at all, from what I can see.  There are, however, some minor discrepancies between Fazzle and Greyhawk on first level MU spells.  I wouldn't call that its own magic system, though.

*finds and re-reads review*

ah... "run with the outlined magic system". Makes more sense that, plus the other comments. Thanks, Stephen.

Just closing the loop as I just received my copy - all pages present and accounted for.  FWIW, Toad & Troll was decent to work with also, no problems throughout the transaction.  Look forward to reading it tonight!  :)
