I still trying to get an answer from either one of you about what does ATL and EL I believe iirc mean in the episodes? I have no clue. Is that 3.5 terminology? Maybe, I am guessing. I never played past 2nd Ed so I am not familiar with 3.5 or maybe its something new with these episodes only. I see it listed for the NPC's or monsters. Can someone kindly let me know. Thx kindly gents.

To be honest I was confused by this as well, even though I ran 3E/3.5E at the time.
ATL is Average Table Level
EL I believe is Encounter Level.
So, if the ATL is much lower than the EL, then the DM knows the party will have a tough fight ahead of him. Of course, noone has ever really managed to make a good system for gaging this sort of situations.

Harvard,
Oh gotcha! Thats funny you ran 3E and 3.5E and still didn't know what that meant, thats hilarious buddy. Ya, I figured it had something to do with that edition and I never played it so I was totally confused. Thats not so helpful. Just looking at the monsters vs the party and saying ok do we fight or run is much easier I think. LOL
Thanks Harvard. Also, is there any fanzines made for Blackmoor at all that either of you guys know of? I have been reading Threshold for BECMI's Mystara and its awesome! Tons of extra info for the world. So I am curious, was there any ever made by fans of Blackmoor such as you 2?
Cheers,
Bard
