Look, I'm one of a very tiny niche of a niche of a niche that loves both 0e D&D and Punk. Yes I went to some lengths last year to explain the ethos shared by both. So suddenly Punk is another bad word to level at 0e fans, just as fatbeard is another to utilize similarly. What have I wrought?
Unplugging from the sphere for a while to focus on the reason I'm actually here: D&D.
With the occasional "How ya like me now" video. In parting,

Out of the Frying Pan
Well, actually off of the Back Burner:
I'll be covering some of my future plans and projects over at Three-Headed Monster Games. Some of the tidbits discussed there will be linked here now that I have a new sharing account after the Orbitfiles debacle. Thanks for the various suggestions, but I've settled on MediaFire for the time being.
In the meantime I'll clutter my bandwith here at Ye Auld Grog & Blog with the scans I made. Apologies for the smudges in certain areas; my printer didn't want to cooperate with the way too think paper I was forced to use, but the images get the idea across effectively. There is one Open Office file and a pair of PDF's I've shared on MediaFire. The first of the files is Sham's OPD Template, seen below:
Using the "Check Method" will require the Open Office file entitled Treasure Tables. Once you grok the Check Method the small table on both the example and template will make sense. It's not nearly as complicated as it might at first seem; you'll grasp the idea quickly and find that it's simple as can be.
Finally I made a quick PDF of an Example OPD, borrowing old info from the Dismal Depths, level 1B; The Chambers of Zod. There's an error I just spotted on the map (forgot to change the 1A bit), but I'm sharing it just to give an example of the new template version, as seen below:
Feel free to dl the template, change the tables, add to it, whatever. More information can be found in my post over at the THM Lair (AKA the Head Shed).

Friday Flashback
Yes, I know it's actually (at this point) quite technically (who's counting?) Sunday.
Let me remind you whose name is hanging on the placard out front: Moi.
Yes this is the "Friday" Flashback.
Some history: I DVR'd the movie: What We Do Is Secret. A biopic of the influential early LA punk band, the Germs.
The plan was to watch said flick and get a post ready by Friday. Well, here we are over 24 hours later trying to get our act together.
The Germs. Love 'em, hate 'em, there are what they are. (Or were, thanks to a very timely Darby Crash suicide/OD):
First off the REAL s**t:
And an interview for Germs fans:
Realize that Darby died in 1980; the Youtube catalog is somewhat limited:
Now go get in-freekin-infected by some Germs. Oh, one more:
You'll thank me later.
