This is a very, very cool idea and a product I'm looking forward to seeing in print. And a perfect example, of why this is such a great time to be playing TSR era Games & Clones.
The project was inspired by a post, from Blair of Planet Algol: Another OSR Product I'd Like To See. The very next day, Blair's wish was on it's way to becoming a reality. I would suggest, he might want to post his desire for a Winning Lottery Ticket, for WotC to once again sell PDF's of TSR era products and an Economic Upturn.

What I'm Pimping This Week
Does the idea of spellcasting players, mangling your precious 1st Edition AD&D Player's Handbook every game session, getting Cheetos dust and pizza grease all over the pages, fill you with dread and inspire you to scarf up an extra half dozen copies off of ebay, while you still can? Fear not! Kellri has you covered!
"A COMPREHENSIVE LISTING OF MAGIC-USER, ILLUSIONIST, CLERIC and DRUID SPELLS, PUBLISHED BY TSR FOR USE WITH 1st Edition ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS™ FEATURING COMPILED COMMENTARIES & NOTES."Did I mention it was free? I love pimping fee stuff! And don't miss his other PDF downloads, CDD #4 in particular.

Hi James. I had just posted a comment on your other blog. I stopped by to check on your dad.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I read your newsletter. It's very cool that you do this. And I dig the layout of your site. Lots of fun stuff to look at.
Hope Brisco is enjoying Harry Potter. Also very cool.
