A Few Updates, the D&D Petition & other Stuff

As mentioned in the previous post, I did my own version of Dungeon Squad that you can get for free HERE

The Heroes of the Dungeon Crawl Basic Charts Edition is on Lulu for book or free download HERE

Sorry for the gratuitous plugs, but I want to keep this stuff bumped.

I have drawn the maps for the three levels of Danger in the Dwarven Dungeon. Most of the first level encounters are set along with many of the second. The third has a few. I would say I may be 40% done, if that. Just wanted to give the update. I plan to get back to work on making the book version of that map and Three Kings Island soon.

Labyrinth Lord is now available at Barnes & Noble for purchase. You can actually order it through a physical store and buy it there.

I have done just that. I hope to pick it up within the next week. Once I do that, I will begin to sketch ideas for a Module compatible with LL. I have actually started jotting ideas down, but there's NOTHING like having a rulebook to go through without having to stare at a computer. More details will surface in the weeks ahead.

Well, okay, I have a working title for it. I'm tentatively calling it Quest for the Sacred Tome. I'm setting it at an Abandoned Wizard's School near Dolmvay in The Known Lands setting. That's what I have at the moment, but it can all change. I post along with others at the Goblinoid Games Forum if you want to see what's happening in that community.

For the time being, the Three Kings Island stuff for HotDC and my LL stuff will be separate. I feel it's important to do it this way at this time. Danger in the Dwarven Dungeon and The Hero's Chronicle are the main two projects on the drawing board for Basic Old School Games.

Anyway, I wanted to point out two things from the Wizards of the Coast community.

I don't claim to have started this thread, but I joined in on it late. It is the petition to get old D&D books back into print. My post late in the thread talks about Print on Demand as an option. The thread, which has nearly 5500 views as of this writing, has over 100 signatures. I know, because I counted. Will it matter? Who knows, but it couldn't hurt. View the thread HERE.

The second one is about the 4.0 version of Basic D&D. I'm curious what is going on with this deal. Since talking to Chris Perkins at Gencon, I've seem nothing written about it on the web. I want to know what is going on with it, so I started a thread on their forum HERE.
