The D&D Magic-User In Issue 58
In issue 58 of my Dungeons & Dragons zine, d12 Monthly, I give a newer version of the magic-user class.
It’s not at all dissimilar to the B/X magic-user you know (although there are some changes), but given there are only four classes in the issue (where all other classes can be based off), I thought it worthwhile explaining a little more about why I created it all this way, and why I kept the term magic-user, while changing the thieve and fighter.
Bugbear Traits In D&D
Back in Issue 10 of d12 Monthly, which is all about monsters, I wrote an article that gave many of the low-level humanoids (orcs, goblins, ogre, etc) a series of traits that you can roll for to give either individuals or clans of humanoids a unique ability.
Non-Tolkien Elves In D&D

d12 Monthly Issue 55 Web Enhancement
Not every horror in the dungeon stalks on two legs. Some slide. Some seep. And some wear your face.
Issue 55 of d12 Monthly delved into oozes and shapeshifters – but a few particularly dangerous specimens refused to stay contained within the printed pages.

An Ogre’s Hoard – Creating Unique Treasure In D&D
In short: Taking some time and effort in detailing treasure using rules and tables from issues 47 & 49 of d12 Monthly.
The first article in Issue 49 of d12 Monthly (Beyond All That Glitters) is all about what sorts of treasure various monster types (giants, beasts, aberrations, etc) would realistically have.

This is a Web Enhancement for Issue 40 of d12 Monthly.
Class-Based Adventure Goals For Drow, Duergar, Gnomes, Svirfniblins – Web Enhancement
In issue 32 of d12 Monthly, I created a list of goals based on the classes listed in the Old School Essentials (OSE) advanced player’s guide. I did this with the help of Pete Lawson, whose idea this was originally.
I covered off the standard races-as-class in that issue, but didn’t have room for the more exotic ones. That’s what this post is all about.
