There's the old 3E mega-module, Axe of the Dwarvish Lords.

Keep going. The story will develop and you will develop as a writer alongside it.

I honestly never understood why Gygax was so adamant in downplaying Tolkien's influence on D&D. The level of influence seemed both very high and very obvious.

This is such a great series of articles, along with the similar series on Dragon mag. Partly because they track the history and development of the game in a slightly different way than the various books and YouTube videos, and partly because they link to one’s own life memories in a nostalgic...

Regarding the cover, I assumed the spheres were the dragon's eggs, and Mama returned none too happy about what the adventurers were doing to her brood.

Love this story so far. I'm working on running my first CoC campaign with my face-to-face group (probably in about 4-5 months, after finishing the Vecna game), so this is great inspiration. I plan to start the game in London and the Home Counties.

Ibid was Undying.

Kraftwerk; My bard is a model and she's looking good!

I fondly remember laughing at the Monty Haul articles in Dragon mag! I agree with the "holy trinity" of belt, gauntlets and hammer, but they always seemed a bit "meh" to me in terms of being such a Thor rip-off. Now make your character a dwarf, and make the hammer a dwarven thrower and your...

In an earlier echo of the Millennium Bug worries of 1999, there was considerable angst in Europe as 1000 CE approached, in terms of the return of Christ, end of the earth and everything between. In reality, nothing happened of course, but what if it did? The year 1000 CE makes a great premise...

The devil’s coach-horse would be perfect for evil characters......

Greyhawk. With an adventure path running from levels 1-20, and focussing on Iuz as the final BBEG.

A cabal of evil bards rules one city. They move through the populace using Disguise spells, and control people using Charm, Suggestion and similar. Any of them can easily stir a ravening mob against outsiders. The bards themselves, seven of them in all, are devotees of a powerful...

Full disclosure: Rob aka @TheSword is a great friend and gaming buddy of many years. I have had the pleasure of GM-ing for a group including Rob, and he's a joy as a player, but this thread is about Rob as a GM. He is truly awesome; Rob creates vivid and engaging campaigns, including well-run...
