(...) Right now my computer's all busted up from trying to install win2k (dumb move, I know) - hopefully I can resurrect it fast enough that we won't get knocked off-schedule. I'll put your name down for the second editing round. (...) Sounds like (...) (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Ooh ooh! Do you need beta testers or is it all done in-house? If you do need a nother bod to look over the rules this nerd^2 will be happy to oblige. James (another name for a nerd is a square... hmm square squared?) (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) See my other post about the accuracy of this site. I'm not convinced that all the scans are correct. But we are getting so off topic we should probably stop now :-) Regards Neil. (23 years ago, 9-May-01, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Unfortunately it has a few errors... for instance it has no mention of the original dark blue cover version of the Basic D&D rulebook. Once my copy is out of storage I'll be sending the maintainer a scan so he can add it to the site. Neil. (23 years ago, 9-May-01, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) The very first printing of the Monster Manual had "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" in red right at the top of the front cover. It never made much sense to me to release the MM before the PHB, but that is how it happened. For images of that cover (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.gaming)

I noticed several folks posting about D&D history, etc. For the best history on the web of D&D products including Chainmail, manuals, and a BUNCH of other stuff, visit The Acaeum, "Dungeons & Dragons Knowledge Compendium": (URL) lugnet.fun.gaming, (...) (24 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Hmm, I distinctly remember the MM being branded AD&D. As I recall, Basic D&D (the original one) mentioned the "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" which was soon to come out. Of course I could be horribly mistaken. Frank (24 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.gaming)

This is getting horrendously off topic... but what the heck :-) (...) It is actually correct as the Monster Manual was originally released as a Dungeons & Dragons product (not Advanced D&D), it was re-branded after the release of the PHB and DMG. (...) (24 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Hello Mike (and Shaun), Where do I begin? I am _really_ sorry the way that came out. I really do enjoy your Brikwars rules. In my fervor to gush about the Chainmail rules, I gave your ruleset a back-hand slap, and I apologize. I don't want to (...) (24 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.gaming)
