Back after a long absence...a quick blog entry on a Saturday night.
Don't know if many of you are aware of such sites as DrivethruRPG.com...
They create "on demand" reprints of many old RPG modules & supplements. I'm interested in the D&D material...primarily such old modules that I never actually played...such as "Ravenloft" or "Temple of Elemental Evil"...
I noticed the other day that they have "Chainmail" as one of their "Print on demand" books...some titles are only available as downloadable PDFs...
I got the Chainmail in the post and was pretty jazzed. I never actually gazed upon the original "back in the day"...but one of our gaming group had an older brother who owned one & hand copied it to use in our D&D campaign.
What I remember was that early in our D&D careers we were gaining troops...henchmen & followers...armies that we would lead into battle. This is where Chainmail came into play. I can vividly remember the charts used for troop combat...as well as the charts for jousting combat! Good times!
And for an added bonus...a TSR price chart circa 1979!
Hope you enjoyed this "blast from the past"!
Stay tuned...another blog coming your way in a matter of hours!
Excelsior!
