In the rule book under encounter a card it says: "Any character at that location can attempt one or more of the checks, as long as the character who encountered the bane attempts at least one of them."

I had missed the part that says BANE, and had assumed it was for all encounter checks (I.e. Also boons). Is it really just for banes?

What happens when you pull an ambush card (and don't make the check to banish it) and there are no monsters left at that location?

Within minutes of my wife learning that Gary Gygax had passed away she said "You should go up to the attic and find the blue book D&D, and we should have some sort of memorial game this weekend".

So I overcame my fear of the ladder that has more then once tried to kill me, and unearthed the box of childhood RPG goodness. It has my blue book (sans cover), my wife's blue book (with cover, but someone pained the eyes red), and a 3rd blue book (again sans cover) that I'm unsure of the origin of. There were at least two B-series modules as well.

So this Saturday 8 Mar 2008 I'm running a OD&D-1978 game. No projector. Maybe even no minis.

Bring your imagination, your snacks, and an extra Mountain Dew to pour out for Gary.

I'm south of San Jose & Cupertino. About half an hour south of Cupertino in fact (or four miles north of Boulder Creek, CA). If you want to join me & my players, please contact me -- odnd@mac.com (I just made the address today, and I'll likely get rid of it on the 9th, so if you read this in the archives, contact me through my Paizo Account, not the email).

(as I write this, I have two confirmed players, so yeah, there is room for more, easy)

I have a regular play group of four players, but sometimes two of them can't make it. The other two players have requested a 2nd campaign for the weeks the others can't make it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a 2 player adventure? Something light since it won't be regularly scheduled.
