This is one of the most poignant write ups of Fantasy Fucking Vietnam I've ever read. Author recounts playing D&D with his dad and how the war affected their game. |

A little short on details. But I do like the idea of buying nothing but molotov cocktails and dogs. I might have to remember that one.
Lighting the dogs on fire ... maybe not so kosher. |

This is so hardcore my head has just exploded. Just up on the internet in a nice web page the US Army has a great piece on communicable disease and fever of unknown origin (FUO) during the Vietnam War.
I am SO ready to make a 1st edition style tropical disease table! Your character is totally going to come down with dengue in my campaign! http://history.amedd.army.mil/booksdocs/vi...MedVN/ch04.html EDIT: Holy crap. Do not eat C4 plastic explosive. "Section III. Toxic Effects Following Ingestion of C-4 Plastic Explosive" Near the bottom of: http://history.amedd.army.mil/booksdocs/vi...MedVN/ch22.html |

I'm considering trying to write some kind of module, so I guess those details remain to be seen/figured out. |

Would anyone feel comfortable running a module I wrote for OSRIC?
Or would people really only want to run 1st edition D&D per se? Is Hasbro going to cast Chain Lightning on my testicles if I write a module for 1st edition D&D? |

I don't know D&D at all. I also don't know what OSRIC is. But ignoring total ignorance of the rules, I'd be happy to play.
