SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Man, these bring back memories. :keke:

"Old Zenopus' tower was destroyed by the local lord when goblins were seen dancing on the parapets but the cellars beneath may hold untold riches of the old wizard, just waiting for an adventurer down on his luck such as you to win through guile and skill..."











I guess the quest did end there 'cause this sixth (and last?) ad features an entirely new set of characters...



A ranger and a gnome thief in an ad for Basic and Expert D&D? :confused:
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what\'s on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.

Wow ... those bring back memories.  :haw:

Most of those were done by Bill Willingham, but the first one wasn't.  Anyone recognise that artist?

For some reason, I reallly dig the first one. It is just so quaint. :haw: Also, in another (B&W) version of it, "Indel the elf" was called "Tweed the elf".
Now with a Zine!
