This post is part of a series of posts in the D&D 40th
Anniversary Blog Hop Challenge. The
information in many of these posts is related to events that occurred primarily
in the1980’s. Since it is now 2014, I can not guarantee complete accuracy with
such a large passage of time but I will present the events and information as
best as I can recall.
Day 4: First dragon your character slew (or some other powerful
monster).
I am going with my best guess on
this one because I honestly have minimal confidence in any answer given. I am certain we fought Ogre Mages and
Vampires along the way. I am leaning
towards a Black Dragon for the first dragon.
I always seemed to like using them for the big bad guys in my
games.
Staying on the subject of monsters – What I do recall is receiving a monster book from my step-brother Lee
named All the World’s Monsters.
I do not know which volume I had but I remember digging the monsters
inside because they were different from the standard selection available in the
Monster Manual.
I had the book for several months
before I paid any real attention to the final page. It had a series of tables that you could roll
on to generate new monsters. Jamie and I
used to spend quite a bit of time rolling on those tables and using the results
for inspiration. We would keep all of the monsters in a folder for later
use. I need to do another attic
expedition at my mom’s to see if I can find that folder…
