Isn't that the encounter where a trapper guards a rug of smothering? Heh heh heh - loved that room. Lars (the party's barbarian with mandatory greataxe) was almost crushed by the trapper and demanded first pick of the treasure as a consequence. ("Wahaaay! A flying carpet? Hey, I guess it...

A buddy of mine bought this one (and its sequel, I think, if it had one). He became very excited and insisted repeatedly than none of us should so much as even read the blurb on the back of either adventure as it would ruin The Mystery and probably The Plot as well. He spent a good two or...

I played this under 1e and DMed it under 2e, with mixed feelings. I like the adventures - great design - but in serious need of DM attention to give them context and plot and depth and silly things like that. As a player they were a real challenge - nasty, nasty giants coming from all...

I've run this one under 1e a ridiculous amount of times in the trilogy version. I just downloaded the all-in-one so will have to give that a shot sometime. I find the release of the Efreet a little heavy-handed, but I guess it works. (Last time I ran this a PC of a player who had fallen...

Only run these a couple of times but they were fine stuff - a nice change from the dungeoneering of other 1e products. Once we had gotten past the usual oddities that plague my games ("So, I can actually buy 200 chickens with the money I have left over? Will they come with me on adventures?")...

I love this one to bits - run it more times than anything else except for maybe Castle Amber and Desert of Desolation. Somtimes I use it with the wilderness area intact, sometimes it's just the caves. Always nails at least one hapless PC every time around. Wonderful stuff. Nobody ever met...

Had to dig deep to find this thread - on a nostalgia trip today :) Like pretty much everone this is where I started DMing D&D (don't think that my home designed game "Castle" really counts, heh heh). Of course, when I started how was I supposed to know that you don't read everything to the...

Ran it under 2e - had a blast with this one. I replaced the EEG with Tiamat (IMC Tiamat was a fallen Abyssal power trying to regain her throne from Lolth) and had Erelei-Cinlu at war with nearby Menzoberranzan (where I placed the Fane of Lolth). Erelei-Cinlu had basically fallen to the cult of...

I ran this one once under 2e and found it pretty cool. The players had recently come through The Night Below series so were very nervous of kuo-toans and bypassed the Shrine completely. I had fleshed out a whole bunch of the surrounding areas and the adventure for them was more about finding a...

I ran this once, or tried to, anyway. I was leaving the country and wanted to have a cool final session for the group I was DM for at the time. So I picked Tomb of Horrors. The group was pretty potent - all around 12th and 13th level, and kitted out with good gear for that level. Like it...

I've been through this adventure both as player and as DM. I don't remember much of my playing experience, except that we gave Travis a sound thrashing. My fighter from those days is 16th level now but still carries that cool throwing dagger of Travis'. As DM, I also recall Duchess and...

Just had to join so I could post on this. Although my games are pretty intense affairs, over the years a couple of oddities have slipped by. These are all PC names devised by demented players at one point or another. Acid Popper Caligula Caesar Ustinov the Unthwarted Sister Vulva Deathmace...
