What a great drive around the Bay, Ben, thanks for sharing! I have very fond memories of you at your desk at 950-A in the 1990s, talking about Blood Brothers and Mansions of Madness.

I remember when I was in grade school and we got to draw and write stories by hand and even glue and bind our own book covers. That experience helped me realize I love telling stories and those stories were full of a childlike wonder and joy that AI can never capture.

08.08.2025 04:12 โ ๐ 10 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Text from The Magic Encyclopedia V2: "Since 1974, TSR's policies and the talents of its staff and freelance authors have matured significantly. Many of the items listed in both volumes of the Magic Encyclopedia contain references that would not be considered acceptable by the standards we set today. References to items, however, are included for the sake of completeness "Likewise, TSR, Inc. has produced many products under license over the years. While no licensed material is included within these pages, these licensed products do appear in the products list to make it complete."
There was a lot of rending of garments when Wizards of the Coast put up a legacy warning on their classic DTRPG products, saying times had changed since the original products were produced.
But, here's TSR's own legacy warning from the 1993 Magic Encyclopedia V2.

Dwarf: Bone. Feathers.
