Looking at the Blackmoor Supplement for OD&D, what rules do you use, what do you not use and why?

I use the monsters and the treasures. Monks and Assassins, are only NPCs and are to be killed on sight by anyone who is Lawful. I don't use anything else.

Some good monsters and treasures. The Temple of the Frog is a great how to example. Not much of Arneson in this supplement thanks to Kask. Arneson's notes that Kask threw away had multiple and contradictory ways of doing things, many rules alternates and Kask did not think anyone would have been interested in that. That would have been a great look into Arneson's mind.

Kask - as that Q&A video shows - has some great insights and stories from the early days of TSR but he sure comes across as taking it to a personal level with his dislike of Arneson and his ideas. |
