Wherein your humble scribe presents a randomly rolled party for the freshly released PDF of Moldvay Basic D&D. They were all created with 3d6 for stats, more often than not in order. And, just because I’m loathe to give it up, they all have some snappy headgear. Will any of these brave adventurers survive their expedition In Search of the Unknown?

My the troop come back in one piece with their pockets stuffed with precious gold and gems. Keep Sareetha to the rear.
With a little luck, and a lot of caginess, they stand a chance, Infocyde. Perhaps a slim one for some (Sareetha’s sickly childhood hasn’t left her in the best shape for adventuring, as you’ve noticed), but at least a few seem like they might live to tell the tale of their adventures in Quasqueton.
Nifty. I can’t wait to get the PDF. I have a hard copy but I like to have both.
I agree about having both, Narmer. It’s nice to have something you can reference without having to dig out a book (or, say, at the office). But then again, real books remain a delight.
Grab it and be a happy dude!
