You were supposed to sometimes roll for your chance to get a disease or infection. Think your hero can't get a Severe, Acute Infection of the Mucous Membranes? THINK AGAIN, PORKPIE! Again, I stress. Nobody ever did this.pic.twitter.com/NKInunINOx

The apex of old-school D&D charts: The Harlot Random Generation Table. Seriously. If you can ever work this into your campaign, do it. Guaranteed laughs. I picture Gary Gygax hunched over a typewriter at 4 AM banging this out. Oh, to be a fly on the wall at that historic moment.pic.twitter.com/OvQBiLdhGE
As a kid, this one was my favorite. If you drink a potion too soon after you drunk another, you roll to see how they interact. Sometimes your character just EXPLODES. Honestly, I can't think of a better example of the bonkers, homicidal spirit of 1970s role-playing than this.pic.twitter.com/htMCdJIplb
I truly miss the spirit of old game design, back before every single rough edge has been smoothed away and all the weirdness and unpredictability had been surgically removed and replaced with algebra.
Thank you!
Thanks for reminding me of this. I still think RPGs try too hard to cover every edge-case, while shying away from long-unsolved problems (e.g. the 0% Intelligence Block). But at least we’re not writing anything like Gygax’s grappling rules, thank all the gods.
I have mine from ‘91, which 1st ed but with the Easley cover art. Man was this thing a mess
I still love reading random bits from it. And the art inside - so many great little snippets
My favourite table in there is the item saving throw table with all those things like fire vs. paper saving throw etc.
