#basic rules

We had an adventure the other day. The builders on the neighboring property lit a fire and left it. During the day, various neighbors tried to put it out, but the embers smoldered and flared up again.

We couldn’t see what was going on there because we were separated by a fence. We knew that somewhere they were burning garbage, plastic and other waste (this is prohibited). Finally, at night, I realized that the fire was still burning - clouds of smoke and stench were in the air. My husband and I went with flashlights to look for the source of the fire. Anyway, after 10 minutes he was putting out a fire in the hawthorn bushes with buckets of water and sand. In the photo, you can see that the garbage dump and the fire are in the bushes behind the construction site.

Nobody came to help and I called the fire brigade. The couple went to bed in the morning, having inhaled the smoke.

Basic Rules of Microfic

Must be about Wolfstar. 

This is a basic requirement of your microfic. If it’s not about Wolfstar, we won’t reblog it. This means that, within the four corners of the post, there is Wolfstar. It can be anything from just friends wolfstar to happily besottedly in love wolfstar to breakup and angsty wolfstar. It cannot be a fic that vaguely mentions both Sirius and Remus with a focus on another ship – this is not a wolfstar microfic, and we will not reblog it. 

It should be an original, stand alone fic. 

Your microfic cannot be a snippet from something you’ve already written before. That is not the purpose of a microfic, and if we’re aware of it, we won’t reblog it. 

To be a true microfic, it should also be a one-shot. While we love to see people build stories off of the microfics, each microfic response should be able to be read without prior knowledge of the story. We will still reblog the stories that are multi-part, but we did want to remind you of this. It’s part of the challenge of doing a microfic! Can you make a complete story in very few words?

It must be tagged appropriately. 

This helps us reblog your fics. Specifically, this relates to triggering subjects that need to be tagged. We don’t care if you write about these subjects, but it is your responsibility to tag it properly. We also ask that you add a content warning at the top of the fic that includes any potential triggers.

Your fic should be short. 

AlphaMamaLioness: This means some things its open to play but some details can't be changed or altered ^w^

(Repost from August 28, 2017; revised) It doesn’t get much more classic than the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Rules (1983). I’ve no way of knowing for sure, but I would bet that the red box was the high water mark for TSR’s penetration into the mainstream marketplace. If you had even the most passing interest in D&D in the 80s, you probably had, or knew someone who had, a red box.

This is the third iteration of the basic rules, revised this time by Frank Mentzer. It focuses on, well, the very basics of D&D – characters, dungeons, monsters, treasures. It is a lean system, easy for beginners but with depth that should satisfy veterans. It taught through easy-to-follow solo adventures, introducing us to the nefarious wizard Bargle and the doomed cleric Aleena – I suspect a vast majority of young nerd boys had complicated feelings about her (worth pointing out that in a game with art that would later veer towards cheesecake, Aleena was proof that female characters can be interesting AND wear pants simultaneously). There’s also a rust monster, just so players get used to the idea of asshole DMs early on in their development. 

Larry Elmore and Jeff Easley deliver iconic art here. If there is a platonic ideal for fantasy roleplaying art, it can be found in the illustrations of the D&D rules boxes of the mid-80s. Is there an image that more plainly sums up the D&D experience than the one of the fighter, lantern held high, approaching the dungeon entrance? Both artists had long, interesting careers working with TSR but I love their work here more the most.
