Glad you found this post, as it will most...@Laura:<br /><br />Glad you found this post, as it will most likely lead to your son being able to play M1 without the pen.<br /><br />In a more recent post, I recounted some of my M1-without-the-pen experience. You may wish to read that post too. My son (only 5 y.o.) played thru it a little too, but not solitaire - I was sorta DMing him thru it. Sadly, and embarrassingly, I have yet to post the audio and pics of his romp thru the module. It was so much fun!<br /><br />At any rate, in case you don't find the buried link in either of those posts, here is a very cool project that some folks put together to compile the invisible entries/boxes in M1. Using that project was the only way I was able to play thru M1. I think it is an awesome idea and I' so glad that those folks put the effort into it.<br /><br />Here it is, in case you missed it:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.angelfire.com/games/blizzardspass/" rel="nofollow">http://www.angelfire.com/games/blizzardspass/</a><br /><br />Also, I appreciate your words concerning my local gaming shop group issues, but I am glad to say (and I have posted about this more recently too) that although that shop closed, many of the folks that played there have found each other and found a new shop to call home. So far, so good.<br /><br />Lastly, in regards to your question: <i>"I wonder how many of us late 30 year olds have kids that are interested in our early 80's D&D stuff. Is this an underground movement waiting to take off?"</i><br /><br />You would be amazed. In fact you should poke around my blog reading list, for starters. There are so many awesome blogs by in incredible enthusiasts and fans of the old-school games and systems, you will be blown away! In fact the movement (interest) is often referred to as the OSR (Old-School Renaissance)<br /><br />My blog here is just a little stop on the side of an amazing road...one which you should start driving on, if you dig old RPGs (especially D&D). I only list a small portion of the blogs I follow, as the page would never end...hehe. You can find the whole list on my profile page. Or just start with a few of them on my main page (off to the right) and you'll find that they all lead you to others. Great stuff. Check them all out.yoyorobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375340160423546919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-70049545872542736882009-08-15T22:16:37.937-04:002009-08-15T22:16:37.937-04:00Mr. YoYoRobo,

My son found an unused module on my bookshelf, but we also have no special pen. Is there something you can recommend?<br /><br />Also sorry to hear that your gaming shop went away. I wonder how many of us late 30 year olds have kids that are interested in our early 80's D&D stuff.

So that is good!<br /><br />Still the old '80s D&D and AD&D mods are all so darn cool, that it is still worth playing (or replaying) some of them, solo or in-group. So good to hear that you are hitting them solo.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy them too!yoyorobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375340160423546919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-87241456199685914352009-06-28T22:08:09.258-04:002009-06-28T22:08:09.258-04:00Good luck on your solo quests.

It also works well as a solo adventure 'regulator'. You need to be disciplined with yourself, but if you can do that it works very well.<br />I'm in the process of going through all my old AD&D modules from about the same era as you :) in order to enjoy them solo.<br />Andrew (Shichitenhakki)Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754924688940330110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-51377754992867090062009-06-01T23:31:19.162-04:002009-06-01T23:31:19.162-04:00@AlinCT:

Thanks!<br /><br />And I check out Yahoo Groups a little (Michigan Gaming), and we actually have 2 local D&D Meetups, but they are usually a pretty good hike. I've attended one of them before, but man the D&D weekly game at my local game store being 5 miles away will be tough to beat.<br /><br />BTW, thanks for the comment and suggestions. A few days old is nothing around here. I've gotten and also posted to others' older posts way past that timeframe...hehe.yoyorobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375340160423546919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-45490666781511917572009-06-01T15:53:05.114-04:002009-06-01T15:53:05.114-04:00I know that this is a few days old, but....

My copy of the module is used, and it still has the previous owner/player's loose leaf notes inside too....and there are quite a few pages! Of course I will do it my own way first, but it might be cool to look at his notes after I run it myself.<br /><br />On the invisible ink no longer appearing, I think you're right. I have tried the highlighter suggestion, and I just tried my son's Spider-man invisible ink pen thing, and neither one works on my mod. The Spidey pen just barely reveals some of the letters...but they are basically unreadable.<br /><br />So the online project will be my only way of truly playing Blizzard Pass.<br /><br />Now the Riddling Minotaur is another project. I guess I'll be googling for some clues on that one.yoyorobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375340160423546919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-40197196359209939842009-05-29T13:00:42.975-04:002009-05-29T13:00:42.975-04:00@Christopher B:

Lathan’s Gold has the interesting dynamic of hiring a ship and crew and keeping track of food for all those guys as you go sailing around. Its funny, too, that there are different crews of classed adventurers depending on what class you play. Like a whole ship of Thieves! Good times.<br /><br />Re: Blizzard Pass, I’ve heard that the invisible ink degrades and may not actually appear nowadays. I think that’s a big part of why people have created the online compilation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-28817119045078372332009-05-28T09:37:44.808-04:002009-05-28T09:37:44.808-04:00Dude - that sucks about the game store/gaming grou...Dude - that sucks about the game store/gaming group.
