I happened to catch a video on YouTube about D&D Druids, called What are the Druids Supposed to be? by Daddy Rolled a 1. A name I hadn't expected popped up: Dennis Sustare.
If that name sounds familiar, he was the creator of one of my favorite games: Star Smuggler. He has along list of creations and contributions, and I'm pretty sure Star Smuggler is low on his list of achievements, but it's my favorite.
I had no idea he created the D&D class for druids. That is really cool.
Anyway, you can download, print, and play Star Smuggler from dwarfstar.brainiac.com or read about it at Boardgamegeek. I am glad to see I am not the only fan. Dennis Sustare graciously allowed Dwarfstar to host the files. Please honor his restrictions on sharing. If you head to BoardGameGeek and check out the file section, you will find all kinds of helpful information.
A few years ago, I recreated the planet tiles for this game. The original set came with tiles A to K plus one for asteroids. The original game required you to invert some of the tiles, which made reading annoying. I created a set that comes in left and right sides, so none need to be flipped. My adaptations are hosted on BoardGameGeek, you can check those out here.
You can check out the first appearance of druids in OD&D Supplement I: Greyhawk (0e) as a monster or as a player character in OD&D Supplement III: Eldritch Wizardry (0e). Both links lead to
