I'm also very fond of JEH's "Confessions of a Dungeon Master" from _Psychology Today_ (1980).<br /><br />PS - sorry if my typo on DF threw your post off, too, Havard: somehow my cut/paste of the thread title dropped the 'e' in Holmes there until I fixed it earlier today :(<br /><br />Allan.grodoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800184312511280050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306015663830354773.post-45920189858729730292010-05-09T21:12:33.760-07:002010-05-09T21:12:33.760-07:00Another great thing about JEH was the Boinger the ...Another great thing about JEH was the Boinger the Halfling and Zereth the Elf stories: The Adventure of the Lost City (Alarums & Excursions, no. 17 Dec. 1976 and no. 19 Feb. 1977), Trollshead (The Dragon, no. 31 Nov. 1979), The Sorcerer's Jewel (The Dragon, no. 46 Feb. 1981), In the Bag (The Dragon, no. 58 Feb. 1982) and The Maze of Peril (ISBN 0-917053-05-2 Nov. 1986). I have all of them but all the appearances in Alarums & Excursions.<br /><br />I love these stories and think the characters are awesome. I remember reading them when I was first collecting The Dragon and have always wanted them to show up in a game, either by playing one of them or as NPCs.<br /><br />You can find more info on JEH's Boinger and Zereth series (as well as JEH's other writings) at http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16989 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Eric_Holmes and http://www.acaeum.com/forum/about3318.html and http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=38933&start=0Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530280529499677331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306015663830354773.post-80979355539593529032010-05-08T18:43:32.806-07:002010-05-08T18:43:32.806-07:00Wow.
