The Combat Shield and Mini-adventure for Basic and Expert D&D served the same role as AD&D's DM screen, with art by Jeff Easley facing the players along with the PC experience tables for level advancement, and important tables for the DM on the opposite side (TSR, 1984). This was for the 1983 3rd version of Basic D&D and 2nd version of Expert, to which TSR added Companion in 1984, followed by Master and Immortal Rules in the following 2 years to complete the "BECMI" D&D set.

The 8-page adventure "The Treasure of the Hideous One" by David Cook includes a full page scroll of backstory in tiny italic text, which seems an unnecessarily tedious way to begin a short adventure.

400. David "Zeb" Cook - AC3 (but really AC8): The Revenge of Rusak (1985)

First of all let's address the elephant sized typo on the cover, this is not AC3 (which was The Kidnapping of Princess Arelina from 1984) but AC8 which can make it a bit confusing. Interestingly, and even more confusingly, this is a direct sequel to AC3 in terms of the adventure that comes bundled in with the models.

The idea of this AC (which stands for accessory) module is to provide players and DMs with some 3-D modules that can be used in play, in this case specifically for wilderness adventures. AC3 did something similar but with dungeon 3-D models then. This tradition comes all the way back from the beginning of D&D with the Dungeon Geomorphs and remains to our days with the Terrain Campaign Case that came out a couple of years ago.

Bundled together with these models is a mini adventure for you to make use of the cardboard constructions, and that is a direct sequel to the earlier set of 3-D models, so you could buy them both and play through it. Fun stuff. Also, we got to entry 400 in this blog! Only 39 years of coverage to go!

"The second edition of AD&D was finally released in early 1989. Many of the changes turned out to be cosmetic. One of the biggest was that the sizes of the Player’s Handbook (1989) and Dungeon Master’s Guide (1989) were reversed. Back in 1978 Gygax had decided that it was best if the players did not know the rules, and so the original Player’s Handbook was a skeleton that didn’t even detail combat. Now the entire roleplaying industry had accepted the fact that players and gamemasters were united in games — not adversaries — and the new rules reflected this. [...]

Perhaps most surprisingly, the rules were once again presented as “guidelines” — a reversal from Gygax’s original goal for the AD&D lines. Finally, the character classes were indeed cleaned up, with Arneson’s assassin and monk eliminated.

Though Cook had said that assassins were removed due to problems of party unity, their excision has always been seen by the public as part of TSR’s well-documented attempt to make AD&D more public friendly — TSR’s only allowance to the religious hysteria that had shadowed the game throughout the 1980s. Half-orcs were similarly removed as player characters, and demons and devils were eliminated entirely.

James M. Ward, who had instituted the removal of demons and devils, explained in Dragon #154 (February 1990) that “[a]voiding the Angry Mother Syndrome has become a good, basic guideline for all of the designers and editors at TSR, Inc.” Apparently, TSR had received one letter a week complaining about the demons and devils since the original Monster Manual was printed, and those 624 letters, or what Ward called “a lot of letters,” had been the reason he’d removed the infernal races.

The readers were not amused, and to his credit Ward printed many of their replies in Dragon #158 (June 1990). One reader stated that the decision “becomes censorship when an outside group dictates to you … what you should print.” The release of the Outer Planes Appendix (1991) for the Monstrous Compendium assuaged some of the anger because it restored demons as “tanar’ri” and devils as “baatezu,” but some fans left D&D entirely as a result of this decision."

Zeb Cook’s Player Types

I recently remembered this AD&D 2e module. It’s written by David “Zeb” Cook who some may know as the author of the original D&D expert set.

It’s most interesting to me because of the section title “the great treasure”, wherein Cook discusses how to cater the rewards and treasures of this campaign to different kinds of players.

He describes 5 different player types.

It’s important to note, he’s talking about each player type in the context of the kinds of treasures that these players might like.

It’s also worth noting that Cook described these as “styles of play” a term that has a completely different meaning today, referring to the style of the overall campaign and how the rules support that style, rather than a way that a player plays the game.

Warlords appear to be a kind of player that isn’t as well accommodated in something like 5e, with the absence of the old stronghold rules.

However some might argue this isn’t accommodated in OD&D and Basic D&D either, since in some games, you were supposed to retire a character once they became a monarch.

This one interests me most because I’m wondering how long Cook had known about this kind of player. Was it very common to see players who played this way?

On “The Storyteller” I believe this one is not named correctly and reading the description, I feel “story-reader” is more appropriate, since it doesn’t appear like they actually want to tell stories as their character.

Interesting that the rewards for puzzle solvers are simply more puzzles. This one is cool because I feel this kind of player would enjoy “solving” a dungeon.

And there you have it.

Tag yourself for which one you think you are.

Queen of the Spiders (1986) collects the G-series modules, the D-series modules and Q1: Queen of the Demonweb Pits under one soft cover. This supermodule concludes the adventure path begun with Temple of Elemental Evil and continued with Scourge of the Slave Lords (and includes a nice mini scenario in which a slave lord tries to take some revenge). I generally like the original versions of these modules and I think the new material, arrangement and polish brought by Zeb Cook and Jeff Grubb really makes them shine. Maybe that is why the book goes for stupid money on eBay, because it does. Don’t pay that kind of money for it, please.

A selection of the original illustrations by Trampier, Otus and Willingham are reprinted inside. They’re supplemented by a bunch of new drawings by George Barr. I used to be a bit meh on Barr, particularly his D&D work during this period, but now I love it. So many stipples!

That Parkinson cover though. So much to unpack. His drow I think are pretty clearly patterned on Tina Turner circa Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and the sexualization is turned up to ten — the only D&D cover that rivals it is Jeff Easley’s for I9: Day of Al’Akbar, which came out the same year. This is an accomplishment of sorts, considering Clyde Caldwell was also on staff at the time. The throne is interesting, a shiny mall version of a H. R. Giger design, like a xenomorph crossed with Lo-Pan’s neon temple. The fire giants look like muppets. The only thing I genuinely like here is the mind flayer, and he looks as if his patience is being put to the test.

SW fanfic idea:

During the war, the Coruscant Guard kind of adopts a street kid, because clearly they don't have any guardian worthy of the name and end up in their custody way too often.

It just so happens that the kid's name is Alexsandr Kallus.

Snippets :

(sadly this doesn't change anything when order 66 rolls in)

Kallus' facial hair in this au is actually a nod to the clones' tendency to have distinct facial hair.

The Guards used to call him Sasha or Sash'ika. (he was pretty small back then)

He began to drink caff because it reminded him of Commander Fox. Even now the smell is a comfort. The first time he drank it he had a flashback to one of the numerous times he helped one of the medics, Cerise, with hiding Fox's caff because the man needed sleep post-haste.

Due to spending quite a bit of time with the aforementioned medic, Kallus actually has some competence in the domain.

When he becomes ISB and gets armor he paints the inside of it with Corrie-red designs. Several of the designs come directly from the clones he was closest to.

When he was a kid, Kallus wanted to join the Coruscant Guard and used to excitedly tell the clones about the way he would paint his armor when he would get it. Said clones were pretty touched and usually refrained from telling him they had no idea if a non-clone was even allowed to join the Guard.

When dressed as a civilian, Kallus leans (both unconsciously and on purpose) towards clothes a distinct shade of red.

When he joins the rebellion, he's actually pretty uneasy around Rex. He reminds Kallus of what happened to his family and the way they lost their free will after order 66. So he avoids Rex for a while until the Ghost crew confronts him about it.

After the truth comes out, Rex slowly begins to think about Kallus as a nephew.

At some points Rex finds a blank set of clone armor and gives it to Kallus, who paints it Corrie-red and wears it diligently. Zeb is just happy his trouble-prone friend finally has some protection.

Clones are an especially sensitive point for Kallus and he often tries to find and de-chip surviving clones while working for Intel. Before he joined the rebels he used to try to put clones in safe posts on peaceful planets, possibly even planets where a surgeon might perform brain surgery if paid enough. After he joins he actively tries to bring clones back to base and de-chip them. Rex is very happy to help. It's their own mission within the missions.

One of the clones Rex and Kallus manage to save end up being one of the captains of the Guard. She and Kallus were pretty close, and there's an emotional reunion involved once she wakes up from surgery.

(there is also a shovel talk involved once she realizes how Zeb looks at their Sasha)

(Captain Amaranth decides to stay with the Rebellion if only make sure Kallus is safe. She is unfit for active duty due to rather severe PTSD and decides to become one of the base's cooks. She is much more successful at getting Kallus to eat regularly than anyone else)

(she also loves to tell stories about Kallus as a kid. One of her favorites is how he painted flowers on her pauldron when she asked him to help her with the new paint. Kallus later gives her a pauldron with much better drawn flowers)

(everyone has called her mom at some point, but none more so than Kallus. Some recruits actually believe she's Kallus' actual mom)

Rex and Kallus bonding by quietly re-painting their armor together.

Kallus getting to tell stories about his family to the Ghost crew and other friends! He hasn't been able to talk about the clones who mostly raised him since..... Well since he lost them, essentially. So this is good!

He got his work ethic from Fox. Amaranth says that's not a good thing.

(she's right)

At some point he discovers that Vader snapped Fox's neck and let me tell you the sith is lucky he's already dead. (Kallus is also secretly a bit relieved because that's a pretty fast and painless death. At least he didn't suffer too much....)

To counteract the angst of this last one, please imagine some Corrie dumping a sleepy Sasha on top of Fox so that the commander can't move, which ends up with Fox sleeping too (mission accomplished!). Little Alexsandr and Fox napping curled up together on a couch.......

#star wars #star wars rebels #alexsandr kallus #agent kallus #captain rex #Dripping stardust #Also I haven't watched TBB so I don't. Know what the chips do to the clones exactly....... #Here I'm assuming it strips them of their free will completely and fully

[tobytost]

*taps microphone to check it works before holding it towards you* wanna share some of those hyper-specific headcanons? can be for any rebels characters or just kanan (oddly specific headcanons are my fav thing :])

OMG I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR SOMEONE TO ASK THIS <3 mwah anon ily

Kanan's show-care is cutting fruit (in typical dad fashion)

often, Kanan would just eat his space apple with a knife, alone in the kitchen, and Sabine would just sit beside him, in total silence and Kanan would give her a piece of an apple straight from the knife and she would take it

that's what I call father-daughter bonding moments

Zeb and Kanan are NOT normal about the sports

whenever there's a match, they buy the cheapest beer and occupy the living space for at least 5 hours

they're very loud about it as well

they tried to get Ezra or Sabine to watch but none of them actually like the sports like they do

Kanan and Zeb trained together in the early days, they still do, but it's rarer because of Ezra's training

Hera and Kanan watch space drama TV together when the rest of the crew are out on a mission or asleep

they gossip together about it as well

in the early days, when it was only Zeb, Hera, Chopper and Kanan and when Kanan was still deep in his dark heavy thoughts and trauma

the force around him was so freaky Zeb and Hera actually thought that the Ghost was haunted.

like, for example. Imagine Hera going through Chopper's memory bank and there's a recording that Chopper doesn't seem to remember having

and in that recording it's just Chopper's pov as he rolls into the room with Kanan, and Kanan just stands in the corner

and as he turns his head towards Chopper the recording gets CORRUPTED and it just switches to some silly stuff Chopper recorded later

and Hera is just like FUUUCK WHO DID I PICK UP

or when he sits down to meditate, the temperature on the ship suddenly drops

freaky stuff like that

Kanan actually cooks really well! He cooks most of the time and he teaches Ezra how to cook as well

Kanan realises that he thinks of Ezra as a son when Ezra came to him with a nightmare for the first time

the worry, the feeling of pride that he reached out, the love and care he felt in that moment

he braids Ezra's hair sometimes, when they're just chilling together

he also helps him with his haircare routine

Kanan loves Abba, he's an Abba guy

sometimes Kanan forgets that he's dating Hera and gets flustered cause he has a huge crush on her

Hera thinks it's adorable but she also calls him an idiot

Kanan is very protective of his family, he checks in with everyone through the force before he could fall asleep

he's especially protective of their youngest, he knows they're capable of protecting themselves but he believes that this is his job

so he always keeps an eye

I HAVE SO MUCH MORE BUT THIS POST IS TOO LONG ALREADY LMAO let me know if you want more

#toby talk #star wars #star wars rebels #kanan jarrus #sorry it took too long #i have a lot if hc for other crew members btw #let me know if u lot want to hear them

So since we've all decided Zeb is a Giant Space Cat, I also personally headcanon that things that are toxic to cats are also a problem for Zeb.

Chocolate: can only have white chocolate as it contains no cocoa powder.

Caffeine: maybe he only needs a very small amount, any more than like half a cup of caf makes him sick.

Grapes and Raisins: Literally would put him in the hospital, do not consume. (Kidney failure)

Milk and Dairy: Adult cats become lactose intolerant.

Garlic, Onion, Chive (Alliums): Also would put him in the hospital (breaks down red blood cells/anemia)

Uncooked potato/tomato: makes his stomach hurt really bad (gastrointestinal distress)

Alcohol: So apparently just 2 teaspoons of whiskey can put a 5 pound cat in the hospital, im gonna say Zeb is actually suprisingly a lightweight for alcohol, barely needs any to get insanely drunk.

Citrus fruits (lemon, orange, lime, etc.): Makes his stomach hurt. Also cats typically hate citrus smells, i imagine the smell of citrus makes him gag.

Tree nuts: macadamia are SUPER no go, any other tree nuts causes stomach pain.

Artificial Sweetner: hospital (liver failure)

Sushi: (can have a tiny bit) TOO much raw fish can actually cause convulsions!!

Too much animal fat: stomach ache

Avocado: (high fat content) stomach ache

--------------

What he CAN eat!!!

Any alcohol (in small quantities) that doesnt contain yeast!! (Distilled beverages) this includes brandy, gin, rum, tequila, vodka and whiskey

Cooked meats

Boiled/scrambled eggs

Peeled cucumber

Jogan/Meiloorun fruit

Waffles/ other batter based foods

Brocolli

Peas

Carrots

Bananas

Blueberries

Watermelon

Apple

Rice

Oatmeal

Spinach

Lemme know your thoughts on this!

Somehow . . . Rusak has returned, despite fighting to the death at the end of AC3: The Kidnapping of Princess Arelina. AC8: 3-D Dragon Tiles featuring The Revenge of Rusak (TSR, 1985) is a sequel to AC3, with a typo on the cover repeating the AC3 product code. This time the terrain tiles and stand-up figures are designed for wilderness adventures, with art by Dennis and Marsha Kauth. The accompanying adventure by David "Zeb" Cook is set several years after AC3's dungeon adventure, and is intended for use with the D&D Expert rules, though AD&D is mentioned in the back cover text:

I am overrun with midnight burger brain rot so like here are some random headcannons I have about the diner:

In classic American 50's fashion, the floor is checkerboard

The main colors are teal blue and yellow orange, with red orange as an accent

Ava's booth is one of those GIANT ass corner booths that basically makes a circle

She uses the top of the booth as a bookshelf for her note books

There are uniforms for the wait staff, a button up and slacks for men and a collared dress for women

Gloria wore the dress until Casper's disappearance when she decides to wear slacks but she still likes the collar on her old uniforms so she cut the skirt off

Casper kept the coat he wore for his western gentleman persona and wears it over his uniform

As the cook, Leif never had a uniform and still doesn't even though he and Gloria switched positions.

Zeb and Effie's radio is sitting on one of those metal utility carts that diners use to pick up lots of plates.

They have counter seatting

Some of the leather is cracking

Bathroom is gender neutral

Some of the lights are broken in the bathroom and for some reason it's always in a green hue.

There are some scratched-on graffiti on the mirrors of the bathroom

There is a giant sign on the deep freeze door saying "THIS IS NOT THE BATHROOM// EMPLOYEES ONLY"

There are two doors to the employee section of the diner and Ava's booth is closest to the one that opens to the office that Casper sleeps in

The ice cream machine is not broken, it's just stubborn and needs convincing

Casper tried attaching a bell to the Parmesan. It did not work

And that's it. Yeah bye.

[heart-of-a-rebel16]

so y’all know about that fic idea I have where Kallus accidentally gets sent backwards in time to before the fall of Lasan?

have a snippet from pre-fall Zeb’s pov :)

@built-on-hope-1977 @gettiregretti @happybean17 @mystical-salamander @seth-silver-ink

“Please.” The stranger’s voice cracked like a whip in the Great Hall, strained with desperation. Though his stature was to be admired, he seemed smaller than a child in the cavernous meeting place. Scores of faces looked down upon him from their lofty positions in the viewing gallery, only adding to the illusion of a bug under a magnifying glass. Even the throne which the queen sat at was elevated on a platform; the strange man stood utterly alone in the middle of the room. Garazeb would’ve felt pity for the man if he could’ve found the mental capacity for it after the bombshell the human had just dropped on the royal court of Lasan.

“Please, you need to believe me,” the man begged once more. They hadn’t been able to get a name out of him, or where he had come from (and more importantly, how he had come). In his mind, Garazeb had settled for calling him Dots, if only to keep his attention away from the interloper’s maddeningly distracting golden eyes. 

“And just why would we do that?” Glyn, a lower end minister of war, crossed his arms and stared vibroblades down at the stranger. “You’ve arrived on our planet with no explanation as to how, then you claim we will all be killed? You must be insane.”

“I’m not insane,” Dots shot back. “Why won’t you listen? The Empire is coming. They won’t stop until every living soul on this planet is dead.”

“The Empire would never dream of such a thing,” Anara scoffed. Her position as the sister of the queen gave her little official power, though her reach in terms of government could not be understated. “We pose no threat to them. We have not trifled in their foolish war, nor rebelled against their authority.”

Dots very well looked as if he could murder Anara and burst into tears at the same time. It was an interesting dichotomy, adding one more shade to the picture that had had yet to be fully colored. 

“That’s the point,” he pressed. “You���re an independent system. The Empire’s authority means nothing to this place. All of you are a monument to rebellion, and you don’t even know it.” Dots turned away from the ceiling gallery and fully faced Queen Maiara.

But he wasn’t looking at the queen. Far from it. The stranger was looking directly into his eyes.

“Please,” he repeated, and the plea wasn’t for the queen, but rather for him. Garazeb blinked, heart faltering for a second under the man’s golden eyes. Why was he asking him? He stayed as far away from the court politics as he possibly could. He held no power that would be of any use to the man.

(Why did he know my name?)

“If I may, your majesty,” a new voice interrupted. Chava the Wise had descended from the viewing balcony and now held the floor. Garazeb sighed under his breath and tried his best not to roll his eyes. Chava was the last person who should get involved with this.

“Proceed, Chava,” Maiara nodded. The wise woman smiled in that strange, lopsided way that told the entire court that she had some hair-brained scheme cooking in her head. She moved closer to the stranger, her staff echoing against the marble floor like the footsteps of giants. 

Arriving in front of him, she stared for a few moments, circling him and mumbling things only she could hear under her breath. To Dots’ credit, he took it all in silence, only shifting away when Chava veered a bit too close for comfort.

“You speak Lasana, as well as any one of us” she said at last. “Curious. May I ask how that came to be?”

Dots’ gaze flicked back to him for a moment, then settled squarely on the wise woman.

“Someone very important to me speaks it,” he said, his voice barely loud enough for the court to hear. “I…I learned it for him.” 

“And this person, he is a Lasat?” The question was rhetorical, of course, but the man nodded all the same, his gaze once again flicking to Garazeb. What in the world was Chava leading to?

“How do you know this place will be destroyed?” Chava asked, and what little color was contained in the man’s dotted face drained to white immediately.

“…you will not like the answer,” he said quietly. Chava hummed in thought.

“Maybe not, Warrior, but it is an answer I require all the same,” she replied, and Garazeb couldn’t quite understand why her voice was so gentle. The man nodded slowly, then breathed in deeply, like he was preparing himself to jump off a tall cliff into oblivion. 

“The Empire. I was a part of it, once,” he spoke softly. His voice still carried through the room despite its lack of volume. “I was part of the efforts to destroy this planet in my time. I watched, and I helped decimate this place and your people. The Empire made sure that there were no survivors, and I was complicit in that.”

A shocked gasp rippled through the room. Garazeb felt vaguely sick, yet couldn’t take his eyes off of the man’s now hunched form. Pain threatened to completely overwhelm his eyes, held back by only the slimmest thread of self-control. 

“Yet you say there is a Lasat whom you learned Lasana for,” Chava pointed out. She seemed completely unperturbed by the stranger’s confession. To Garazeb, that only proved she was completely insane. 

“He…” the man hesitated, and for the third time his gaze flicked to Garazeb. “He is the only survivor. After the purge, he joined a group of rebels, a cell that I was tasked to hunt down. That Lasat pulled me out of my own delusion and showed me the truth. He opened my eyes to the utter tyranny that the Empire spreads. If not for him, I’d still be a blind fool.”

Chava nodded, then offered him a smile. “Worry not, Warrior,” she said. “Your words are quite enlightening. These fools don’t like to be uncomfortable, you see.” She gestured with her staff to the elevated viewing gallery. “If I may, could I take a peek inside your head? It will save you the pain of relaying your story in its entirety.”

Dots’ shoulders slumped lower in defeat. “I don’t see why not,” he muttered. Chava grinned broadly and tapped her staff twice against the floor. The stone in the middle began to glow, and by that point Garazeb wanted nothing more than to flee the building. How could everyone be so calm? At best, there was a completely delusional man that had fallen out of the sky, and at absolute worst there was a cold-blooded butcher standing in the Great Hall. 

Chava tapped her staff twice more against the floor, then began chanting in the Ancient tongue. Garazeb had no idea what any of it meant, only that dusty words wouldn’t save them all from destruction. 

The chanting became rapid in its pace to the point that Garazeb honestly wondered if the so-called wise woman was having a seizure. Golden light burned in the middle of the room, pouring from her staff. Sets of two taps continued to echo in the Hall, adding percussion to Chava’s strange song. 

Then, she touched the stone of her staff to the interloper’s forehead, and Garazeb was falling into nothing.
