OD&DITIES - the renowned OD&D Fanzine

[Admin Pete]

For those who don't know back in 2001 (google is a great tool), back in the days before the OSR and the numerous blogs and fanzines, there was only one old school fanzine and that was OD&DITIES by Richard Tongue. They are hosted a number of places, including on Dragonsfoot. I am posting the links here for easy access for those who are not familiar with it.

At 24, 25 and 25 pages are they worth $2.00 each. I have not seen anything written by anyone who bought them.

Also for those that do not know, in spite of the name "OD&D-ities", they are not about OD&D at all, they are about Classic D&D - B/X D&D IIRC. Also he posted under the name methuselah.

The 12 free ones are definitely worth the download and the read.
