| 501. | DR126 | Dragon #126 | How long, in real time, does it take
for a character to reach 9th level? | | The answer to this one depends on how
often you play, with whom you play, and
whether or not you are really following
the rules. In some Lake Geneva campaigns,
it would take you about a year to reach
9th level if you played the same character
once or twice a week. |
| 502. | DR126 | Dragon #126 | I’m trying to locate two older TSR
modules, the solo modules M1 and
M2. Where can I find them? | | These two products may be obtained by
getting in touch with the Mail Order Hobby
Shop. Write to the address given in the
first question in this column and ask for
prices and a catalog. |
| 503. | DR126 | Dragon #126 | How do you pronounce the word
“myrmidon”? | | Myrmidon is pronounced MUR-mi-don.
The “ur” is sounded like the “ur” in cur or
burr. The “mi” is like the “mi” in miss. |
| 504. | DR126 | Dragon #126 | When will the next of your STAR
FRONTIERS® modules come out?
How about Volume Ii of Zebulon’s
Guide to Frontier Space? | | There are currently no plans for more
STAR FRONTIERS game products. |
| 505. | DR126 | Dragon #126 | Will there be a D&D® boxed game
set or rules supplement covering
the Old Ones? | | There are no plans for any further D&D
boxed game sets or rules supplements.
However, D&D Immortals Set modules
might Cast some light on this subject in
future releases. |
| 506. | DR126 | Dragon #126 | What happened to the D&D™
cartoon? | | The D&D cartoon was the victim of the
network’s annual program selection process.
The network simply decided not to
renew the cartoon for another year. If you
want to know more, write to the CBS
television network. |
| 507. | DR126 | Dragon #126 | What do I do if my players want to
split up an adventuring group, say
to save game time (and spell duration)
when mapping a section of
dungeon? I've tried just alternating
between groups, but whenever one
group meets a monster the other
group rushes to join them. | | There are a couple of ways to deal with
this. The first is to make the party stay
together — just say “no” when they want
to split up. The second is to play along
normally, alternating between groups.
This means only one group plays at a time,
but at least they can watch each other
play. If one group gets into trouble, there
is really nothing wrong with the other
group rushing to the rescue — fantasy
literature is filled with nick-of-time rescues.
Or you can tell the other group that
they don’t know the first group is in trouble,
and are not allowed to come to the
rescue. They may think twice about splitting
up after they see half their party
slaughtered. Of course, smart players
might find a way to discover that their
comrades are in trouble; if it’s legitimate,
let them help. Clever solutions to sticky
problems are part of role-playing games.
The third solution is to conduct each
group’s adventure in secret. This is the
least satisfactory because one group has
nothing to do while you DM the other —
but it keeps the players from learning
things that they shouldn’t. The boredom
that the nonparticipating players suffer
may discourage them from splitting up in
the future. It might also cause them to quit
your game.
Running a D&D game requires you —
the DM — to make difficult decisions such
as these. Ultimately, you must make them
on your own. |
| 508. | DR126 | Dragon #126 | What does “1d10” mean? What
does “d%” mean? | | “1dl0” means roll one 10-sided die.
“5d10” means roll five 10-sided dice. That
is, the number before the “d” is the number
of dice and the number after the “d”
indicates the number of sides each die has.
The abbreviation “d%” indicates percentile
dice: that is, roll two ten-sided dice, reading
one die as tens and one die as ones in
order to get a number between 1 and 100
(00 = 100). The term “d%” is also
expressed as “d100!” |
| 509. | DR126 | Dragon #126 | I’ve just moved and I can’t find a
new campaign. I own a couple of
solo adventures, but they don’t
match the levels of my characters. | | By any or all of the following:
- Try out TSR, Inc.'s solo modules and
ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS®
Adventure Gamebooks. You’ll probably
enjoy them, even if the characters in them
are not the level that you wish to play.
- Ask local book stores and hobby shops
that carry TSR products to let you post
notices asking for a DM.
- Consider placing a classified ad in a
local newspaper.
- You might consider joining the RPGA
Network. The Network is a TSRadministered
worldwide club of roleplaying
gamers. One of its services is to
help get gamers together. Membership
information is obtainable from: RPGA
Network, PO. Box 509, Lake Geneva WI
53147 (ATTN: Membership Director).

| 510. | DR126 | Dragon #126 | How can I find a store that sells
D&D games and accessories? | | Look in, your local Yellow Pages (if you
haven’t already) under: Hobby; Hobby
Stores, Retail; or, Books. Your local library
probably has out-of-town phone directories
which will include yellow Pages for
towns near you. |
