Crappy post-it drawings brainstorming characters for a comic concept im thinking of making. A group of radicals discovers that a certain sound frequency liberates skeletons from human bodies, and they use it to end the longest era of exploitation in history: that of our own bones

WOOOOO!!! that's my girlfriend('s dad!) !!!! there's genuinely so much good stuff in that box, I've perused it a little bit here and there. a treasure trove of early RPG minutiae :)
My friend Flo's dad was involved in the fanzine culture of D&D in the 70s, and made some contributions to early gaming magazines. She recently shared some of his handwritten notes about the spell systems he and his friends used.
I think these are FASCINATING

Among monster manual maestros, the chinasaurs are a well known bit of old D&D lore. Several figures are known to exist that never had published monster associated with them. But intrepid reporter @marsworms.bsky.social has discovered one penned by Dinkie himself!

You probably know how languages in D&D work: pretty much everyone speaks “Common” but there are also a smattering of languages different ethnic groups speak like Elvish and Dwarven. For this to make sense, it tells us something about the implied setting of D&D
