Yes, this does look quite appealing.  Maybe this will also give us a better read on the guy with the new dice.

So this is how my old joke about beauty being in the eye of the beholder gets co-opted.  Also, weren't beholders removed from Wizards' OGL?

I do not accept anything after the original books, starting with AD&D. As in, the original AD&D.

I'm almost scared to ask for an explanation here.

Anyway, the cover looks amazing.  Another fine example of Daphne's writing and Sturk's art!

Well having to calculate XP based on monster HP was more accurate, if much more time consuming, than EL based tables.  But if it's AD&D each character make a check for wild psionic talent?  Are Has the pictured character rolled her d100 for exposure to disease for being in a dungeon environ in that outfit? Are those dice glowing from a distinctly non-magical source because beholder central eyes were not a toggleable effect when open back then?  Which hex on the Greyhawk overland map  is this dungeon located in?

I'm liking the enslavement going on in the game, and liking the possibility of a series of sex slaves beginning to be created...  That said, will the game go live action role playing, costumes and all????

OK. No. That one is before my time. I start with original cover AD&D. I've only seen that book in the hands of collectors.

Oooohhh back when big bad dragons had like 60 hit points and giants were the biggest threat around.  The Questions still stand regarding the hex map and beholder central eye.

My oldest TSR material is a secondhand copy of the Greyhawk folio and some Judge's Guild stuff.  I never got the opportunity to play the earliest D&D, but from when I read it, my overall impression is that the rules set tended to improve with AD&D up through most of the material in Unearthed Arcana.  Second Ed. was a big step backwards and it went downhill from there.

Considering I actually know the gross-ass truth about how beholders' anatomy works, I'm not sure I like where this is going lol.

It's amazing he's found so many sexy girls to role play with in the first place.  As I recall, women were scarce in those groups, and usually involved with one of the players.

Stop letting a simple thing like reality take you out of the story. No way you can enjoy the soon-to-be-growing boobies if you let stuff like conservation of mass get in the way.

Not a bad episode, just a little brief.  So when can we expect the next one and who's next on the hypno list?  And there's one other thing to consider: what about the male player, how's he going to factor into this or is the DM just trying to get in a few quickies without any long term goals?  Personally, I'd like to see him take permanent mind control of all the players so that the girls are his sex slaves and the guy is his loyal servant.  This wouldn't happen to have been inspired by Darkmind's Dungeon of Reality from mcstories?

Beholders weren't OGL content, but were published in editions where OGL content appeared. (Those would be the impure later additions our fine hostess won't have any truck with, but not editions so late that I won't have truck with them. I only play prime-numbered editions.).

Basically, if you go look up what the Linux-licensed, you won't find Beholders, but if you fork over money for 3rd edition hard-copy, Beholders (and Slaad, and Mind Flayers, etc.) are there plain as day.

I think it has something to do with TSR/WotC/Hasbro not having the full rights to that content.
