Hi everybody. This is an ongoing (no specific dates on updates) DDM Retrogaming project started with converting DD2 minis to the old system. I'll post some minor changes (let's call them unofficial erratas) to minis that try to improve and make some of them playable (or funny to add to your friendly games). I'd like to make custom cards, but for now I haven't got enough time to spend on that. Maybe in the future. This post contains many favourite "Craptacular rares" (including unfaous heroes like Wiz O' Turnips and Phoelarch): my goal is to make these creatures worthy of the star they bear on their bases. You'll also find a section devoted to "Equivalencies", many of whom come from DDM2 sets. Last but non least, a section called "Revised rules" deals with explosive issues like unified Spells and abilities for all creatures, summoners and mounts, to make them funny and viable (still in progress). For now, enjoy!

PS: look for other DDM1 "custom/unofficial" resorces in the signature of Lord_rock ("Rock bottom pricing") and in the following threads:
