Tim Hutchings HABITATION OF THE STONE GIANT LORD
A compilation of 8 adventures written by young people during the early days of tabletop fantasy gaming edited by Tim Hutchings (Thousand Year Old Vampire)
“Part academic exercise, part nostalgic rush, it’s a relic of the past you can play!”
In 1981, 13-year-old Gaius Stern wrote and illustrated The Habitition of the Stone Giant Lord in imitation of TSR’s Dungeons and Dragons adventure modules. The Habitition is a true labor of love, typed and drawn as a DIY addition to the “Against the Giants” series of modules, part time capsule and part outsider art.
As art, its text and image show how a creative teen made his own contribution to the genre of roleplaying adventures, but where most such books were the work of a writer, a crew of play-testers, editors, and a stable of artists, Stern went it alone. As a time capsule, it provides a window on a particular way Dungeons & Dragons was played at a particular time.
