@dysonlogos inspired me to pull out my #ADnD #DungeonMastersGuide and roll up a random #dungeon. It immediately went off the rails with a triangular room with 3 doors on the long 45° wall.
I had to do a little creative interpretation on some of the rolls but it was a fun exercise.
Anyone have suggestions for good Folk Hero adventures? I’m running Nimble but I can adapt from just about any fantasy rpg, from 1e to 5e, from OSR to Pathfinder.

I just learned that D&D 5e has a monster named "pit fiend" that I never knew about in my 1e bubble.
My pit fiend is based off an old monster minis set produced by Grenadier back in the 1980s under a separate label. Their Fantasy Monsters set had a "One Eyed Pit Monster".
In my Etinerra campaign, a pit fiend is a homebrew monster of Chaos.
Here's a link about that old boxed set that has several awesome figures!
Tonight's AD&D game was some serious business. A battle was fought at a Chaos Anchor, featuring a necromancer, a pit fiend and a wraith.
For only the second time in my various games in this 16 year campaign did a player get level drained - they failed their save vs death and went from a Druid 4 to a Druid 2.
The party ended up killing the necromancer but fleeing the field of battle - the hero fighter with the only magic weapon was almost dead!
Well, call me crazy if you want to, but trying to finally get myself into #Harnmaster (as, into the rules as opposed to the setting) I feel like it's really not as complex as people make it out to be. Sure, it's crunchy, and very simulationist, but if I compare it to, say... #Shadowrun, #DSA, or even just #ADnD it feels like a walk in the park.

Pondering "at will" abilities for monsters in 1st ed. AD&D:
When it says, "usable at will, one per round," what exactly does that mean? I have yet to find and explicit description for it.
My guess: there is no casting, so it can't be interrupted and no components are required.
My questions:
-- Can they still be used while magically held or paralyzed, like psionic abilities?
-- Can the creature use these abilities in addition to its attacks or other actions each round?
