It's not hard to imagine that the Immortal Rules was the result. In fact one of Mentzer's earlier articles about the new game line said that he was planning to update Supplement IV: Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes (1976). Since it was officially based on OD&D, Basic D&D could draw from the original OD&D supplements (1975-1976). In fact, Frank Mentzer was asked to carefully maintain the separation between Basic D&D and AD&D when he was working on the BECMI rules. This continuity was recognized internally at TSR by staff who considered the BECMI games the "fourth edition" of D&D and legally by TSR through the inclusion of Dave Arneson's name on the Basic D&D credits - at least through the Companion Rules (1984). They built on the classic and unadorned rules that gave GMs more opportunity for fiat, though those basics were extensively expanded by a variety of designers. The Basic D&D rules of the '70s and '80s were very much seen as a continuation of OD&D (1974). In the Immortal Rules (1986) something has clearly changed because the fighter has now stripped down to just a loin cloth, and a strange red and blue dragon just … looks on. At first he was fighting a dragon, then riding one. The previous four BECMI boxes showed a fighter wearing ever-increasing amounts of armor. It was published in June 1986.Ībout the Cover.
