This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

"The difference between being fascinated with RPGs and being fascinated with the RPG industry is akin to the difference between being fascinated with sex and being fascinated with masturbation. Not that there\'s anything wrong with jerking off, but don\'t fool yourself into thinking you\'re getting laid." —Aos

Finally, the REAL issues: Ring Mail, electrum pieces and the d12.

If it hasn't got Ring Mail in it it's not D&D, I don't care where you're coming from!

I thought that is was splint mail that it was unclear if it existed, not ring mail.

#12 and #20 I can get behind fully. The rest I'll just be polite and laugh along with. ;)

The Keep on the Borderlands isn't in Greyhawk though- it's in Mystara.

Yep.  It's Basic, not AD&D.

I thought with AD&D, they tied it, along with The Village of Hommlet, into the White Plume Mountain series?  Wasn't there a reference to it?  Granted, it's been many, many years since I broke that module out; am I misremembering?

I was confused, so I broke it out. It's clear that it's Basic - but there's no reference in the module to the overall campaign setting to which it belongs. There is reference to it being fine for use with AD&D, but nothing about Mystara versus Greyhawk.

Now I never played Mystara - or paid much attention to it - so if they tied it in there after the fact, I am unaware of it.

As I recall, the module was vague on placement, just some frontier area,  I think later Mystara maps showed the actual location of the Keep.

I do know that Mystara came out way after the modules, and way after my first recollection that there was a tie in.  So perhaps after Mystara came out, they re-did the location settings.

Well, according to wikipedia, it was retroactively placed in Grayhawk

because B1 In Search of the Unknown was in Grayhawk.
