Editing Frank Mentzer

'''Frank Mentzer''' brought the Epic into [[Dungeons & Dragons]], revising [[Tom Moldvay]]'s [[Basic Dungeons & Dragons|Basic/Expert Set]] into its full glory under the [[Companion Set|Companion]] (especially), Master, and Immortal rules. The [[AD&D]] crew was [[Bloodstone Pass|attempting high level play]] but, really, nothing compared to BXCMI until late 3e.

Mentzer also (somehow) made a coherent and mostly-playable module out of [[Gary Gygax]]'s [[Temple of Elemental Evil]].

Writing as "ExTSR", Frankie stayed in contact with the fandom at (for instance) rec.games.frp.dnd; where (for instance) he defended Moldvay's decision to include the [[Wight]] and its permadrain in Basic play.

Sadly, proving the adage that you either die a Moldvay or live to see yourself become [[Ed Greenwood]], Mentzer got into trouble in the late 2010s for some #metoo bullshit. [[Skub]]-a-dub-dub, and all that.
