Urgham the Quiet is one of the orcs living among the elves of Alfheim, a former raid commander who was captured 10 years ago and chose not to leave. He keeps busy as the proprietor of Reliable Heavy Hauling, looking out for the local orc population, and avoiding the plots of mountain orcs who continually scheme to attack the town again. (Stephen Fabian, from D&D Gazetteer 5: The Elves of Alfheim by Steve Perrin and Anders Swenson, TSR, 1988)

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we look at the first book of monsters for D&D. The Monster Manual? Oh, no, not that — the first D&D monster book was All the Worlds’ Monsters (1977), from Chaosium! We talk about how salty that made TSR. More interesting, All the Worlds’ Monsters is sort of the first step in a long legacy of collaboration in the RPG industry on Chaosium’s part, so we talk about that a bit too. Also on tap: Alarums & Excursions and the Perrin Conventions.

Troy Hughes cover art for Alarums & Excursions issue 30, January 1978. One notable article this month was "The Perrin Conventions" by Steve Perrin, describing his house rules for D&D that were adopted by many DMs and contributed to his development of Runequest. Also included were "The Arduin Chronicles" by Dave Hargrave, "Computers and Fantasy Gaming" by Barry Gold, rules for a "Musketeer Class" by Rand Freeman and Randy McMillin, and a couple of contributions by Steve Marsh.

On Mount Tamalpais "The Cult of Stellar Propitiation is bringing a monster down from the stars to devour San Francisco as an object lesson to the rest of the world and as proof of their devotion to their uncaring masters." (Steve Purcell for Steve Perrin's Cthulhu mythos superhero scenario in Different Worlds 35, July/August 1984)
