These are a combination of distilled knowledge from Knights&Knaves Ale House and I guess his own thoughts and experiences running OD&D from the 3 LBB only. I have most of the OSR clones and a few retro games like C&C and Jason Vey's Spellcraft & Swordplay, but these musings have helped my understanding and appreciation of OD&D more than anything else.Now you can also download all these musing including a nice cover and print them out into your own digest sized sized supplement:http://www.grey-elf.com/dnd/Scroll down to the very bottom under "Other D&D Resources". Pickup the other booklets too ...it's all great stuff including the "Forbidden Lore" booklet for integrading D6 Chainmail rules into OD&D combat.

Here is the kicker for you guys in the US, you can also apply code "FREESHIP" and get free shipping in the US on purchases over $19, which sadly I wasn't able to do. But that's pretty good 20% + free shipping at Lulu.

Apparently, due to printing locations for Economy over paperback. Paperback option it is then!
