Apologies for the short pause in transmission; I'm juggling a few things atm. Today's instalment is relatively short, but we're continuing to chip away at the mountain...
The notion of a "stat block" is not quite as explicit in the 3LBBs as the following may make it seem, albeit Vol 1 (Men & Magic) does include statistics regarding player types, and Vol. 2 (Monsters & Treasure) does begin with a giant table of monster stats. That said, the Creature Feature articles in early issues of The Strategic Review elaborated the concept, which quickly became the norm.
So, what's presented here is more-or-less a placeholder until I decide whether to include it in the main text as an embellishment, or keep the text minimal and push this to an appendix.
Members can also preview the footnoted version of the above fragment, detailing all the early sources used.
Next time, I'll get into combat time (turns and rounds etc.)...
