Hey Guys, started a series on the "lost" Arneson D&D manuscript on me blog.

http://boggswood.blogspot.com/

Lots to talk about!

I posted some comments on the OD&D boards and don't want to give the impression that I'm just wandering from board to board and sayin' the same old stuff.

1. Dan, your historical blog post was most excellent. You continue to bring scholarship into an area where few delve and you have done another outstanding job.

2. However, the more I see of this manuscript I start to question its authenticity as a pre-OD&D creaton. The artwork seems too updated and professional compared to the OD&D LBB. It just doesn't "smell right" to me somehow.

Clearly you have gotten a better look at it than I have, and so I will try to reserve judgement until we get more blog posts. I look forward to your continued analysis of this manuscript.
