If you’ve ever played Dungeons & Dragons, chances are you’ve heard the term “THAC0” thrown around a time or two. But what exactly is THAC0, and how does it work within the game’s combat system?

Blockbuster and Pap John’s Pizza were founded (I see a correlation there). And, the D&D module Baltron’s Beacon I7 (9152) was released. Not a bad adventure as modules go for…
So, here’s one that I had to actually go back and look up as I didn’t have any recollection of them. And, now I know why. This particular nasty came from a competition module that I never played. This is from Allan Hammack‘s 1980 Dungeon Module The Ghost of Inverness C2 (9038). This module was…
In the burgeoning era of tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) during the mid-1970s, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) had established itself as the pioneering fantasy RPG, inspiring countless imitators and new game designs. Recognizing the potential of expanding the RPG genre into other thematic realms, TSR, Inc.—the company behind D&D—embarked on developing a Western-themed role-playing game to…
