#DungeonsAndDragons is 50 years old, launched on to the market in 1974 by a company called Tactical Studies Rules, or #TSR, created by the game’s creators #GaryGygax and #DaveArneson when they couldn’t find a publisher for their creation.
The role-playing game, largely powered by participants’ imaginations, continues to attract fans half a century after it was launched. #DnD

Binary divinations are great for #DungeonMasters. Yes/No answers are easier than improvising complicated futures every time a player character goes to the fortune teller.
#GaryGygax knew all that, because the #ADnD "Augury" spell is basically the universal divination spell -- It provides a binary answer, and you can customize the material component to fit a character's cultural background.
The thing with "folk divinations," though, is that folks who aren't 3rd level clerics use them, too.
So, at that point, I'm celebrating my invention -- pharmacological #psionics disguised as magic, a brilliant combination of #worldbuilding and #ruleshacking, if I say so myself -- when I notice a psionic discipline I'd completely forgotten about: Molecular Rearrangement.
Um... There are #ADnD characters who can transform lead to gold with their minds? And #GaryGygax missed an opportunity to use a fancy word like "chrysopoeia?" These are both unbelievable in different ways!
