Reworking The Bandage Rule & Other Stuff

I tweaked the Bandage Rule a bit last night. The desire with this rule is to give the Game Character a fighting chance when reduced to 0 Life Points, but I've been thinking about adjusting that to where there is a chance that bandaging won't get the job done. Still working on it, but it would be like a 1 in 6 chance of death anyway and perhaps a 2 would mean that a healing potion or Incantation must be used immediately or death will occur anyway. A successful bandaging still means a full day of rest must be had to get back to 1 Life Point. It's a work in progress.

I have recently been presented an opportunity to go to GenCon. I may be going for it. I mean the chance to meet guys lik Gary Gygax, the guys at KenzerCo., possibly Frank Mentzer and others is pretty tempting.

I understand Troll Lord Games will be unveiling their new Basic C&C Boxed Set at or before GenCon. This is good news for Basic Gaming fans. Word is that the quick statrt rules that will be offered on June 23rd as part of Free RPG Day delayed things a bit, but work continues.

Word from Goblinoid Games is that Labyrinth Lord is on schedule for a July release. This game, of course, is using the OGL to emulate the old Basic D&D game. Word is there will be a map of the Known Lands included. I'm really looking forward to this release and considering creating a module for it.
