Forbidden Lore

A rules pamphlet for original Dungeons & Dragons that clarifies the combat guidance scattered throughout the early brown booklets. It presents a variant combat system using the Chainmail rules, explaining how the two games connect through cross-references rather than reproducing either set of rules. Both the original Dungeons & Dragons booklets and the original Chainmail rules are required.
