"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

Dungeon Masters Screen - 1e AD&D


There is not much that needs to be said about this. Millions of gamers out there have had to stare at this or its progeny for way too many hours. Some have seen their respective fantasy worlds from both sides. I was lucky to be one of those. Many a mystery has been created or resolved behind the screen as it were. I hate to give away trade secrets but I think enough time has passed. Be it for the preservation of the storyline, or in some cases the player controlling the character was a jerk, not all the rolls were exactly as described from behind the screen.....sorry!
