The B Squad

Morgan Ironwolf and Black Dougal in both the D&D Basic Set Instructions and the 1st Edition Dungeon Master’s Log, and Gutboy Barrelhouse in the sample combat—along with other “B-squad” characters like Blastum, Barjin, and Balto—in the 1st Edition DMG). All three are touchstones for old-school gamers; we might not know much about them, but they’re remembered fondly just the same. And who can look at that picture of Morgan Ironwolf and not want to play this game?
