The Crossroads of Chaldén, an adventure resurrected from 1986, which I had the pleasure of editing (mildly) and laying out has been published in July:

Crossroads of Chalden takes place near the barbarian lands of snow and ice. The people are gruff and suspicious of outsiders, and to folk from other lands they seem introverted and superstitious. First written back in 1986, this Dragonsfoot publication is a ready-to-play module with an introduction to a new world for First Edition Dungeons & Dragons. Plenty of information to flesh out the world in which Chalden lies, or to place it within the World of Greyhawk. Included is also helpful hints for new DMs in how to run and adjudicate the module. An AD&D adventure for Characters Levels 2-3.

Download it for free from Dragonsfoot.

And here is the forum topic where you can ask one of the authors (Peyre) questions.

I'm confident this module won't be everyones cup of tea, but it is a fascinating window into a home-brewed adventure from mid-80s, 1e era.

Tony DiTerlizzi recently shared some of his unreleased art for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragon 2nd Edition Monster Manuals:

Note: Here is a nitter link for those that are avoiding Twitter.

Otyugh and Nymph:

Kobold:

Minotaur and Ettin:

Kenku, Bullywug, Aarkocra, and Roper:

Efreeti and Hill Giant:

Although I still prefer 1e art (yes, even the funny pieces), it's always interesting to see these forgotten and lost pieces surface after all these decades.

Old School Reference and Index Compilation (OSRIC) is an OGL retroclone of the AD&D 1E. It restates PHB, DMG and MM in a single book, with minor modifications for legal reasons.

Version 2.2 was released in 2013, and is freely available on Lulu and DTRPG. Knights & Knaves Alehouse hosts a thread for tracking and cataloguing latest known errata.

Will Mistreta did an amazing job of compiling above thread into a single post:

Yes, it's another one of these. The longest one yet by a country mile, too. As per usual, I must emphasize that this document is 100% unofficial. It is not endorsed in any way by Stuart Marshall or the rest of the original OSRIC writing and editorial gang. That said, it's my hope that the long hours I and others have put in with this superb rulebook will one day be reflected in an even more superb updated version.

All page numbers reference the most up-to-date published edition available as of this writing.

Includes contributions from: Between3and20, Cobalt-60, EOTB, grodog, Guy Fullerton, Kellri, Kramer (RIP), Landifarne, PapersAndPaychecks, soner du, squeen, Steppenwolf.

I compiled Will's errata into a printable document:

Enjoy. Do share any errata in the above linked thread.
