Remember that this was written in 1978. It basically begins when you are at the "dungeon entrance". If this is a success, and people want to continue, there might be more wilderness stuff but not in the immediate future.

Could work, may be another link to the temple of Istus group. Ranger or druid would be fine (maybe not warlock as there's another character heading in that direction) although there's not a lot of wilderness (i.e. none). I'd say ranger is easiest if you're not familiar with the system (no spells...

There's a Starter set, or something like that, gives you basic details. Edit: Basic Rules, that's the one.

Mal's arrow strikes true again and, although the creature on the mast seem perturbed at first, it then plucks the arrow out and hurls it into the wind. The lightning that makes up its form seems to close over as it hops along the mast to the stays that keeps the sail lashed in place. There is a...

The tiger's heads are magical. Transmutation magic, by the look of it.

I like the connected backgrounds, and it's given me an extra dimension I can add to the adventure as well. More on that later, when I have the notes to hand.... I'll set up a Rogues Gallery Thread where you can post finished characters. I don't mind the format, but the versions you've given...

OOC: No sense of going up or down.

Axel, sure, I think we can wait til next week, welcome aboard! Brother Dave, I'm always open to new players, sounds like a fun concept to me. Kaodi, that was fast, shows the ease of character creation for 5e! Mowgli, jkason, no probs - not to worry, I'm still sticking with PF in my other...

Menexes gives the tiniest of inflections to indicate that he has understood. "I am dwarf," he says loudly to Arcata. "My loyalty to other dwarves lies, not human trouble-makers." He looks up to the battlements. "I will bring her in," he calls to Schattenstein. "There are matters I would with...

Ah, cool! I like the idea of Stormhaven Library - that's something I should have mentioned in the initial post; aside from the Lichway background there's no particular setting or background so whatever you bring with your character goes into canon. I'll see if I can recruit any others...

Mhairi pulls the lever, and nothing happens. "Wait a bit," says Vencarlo, and so you do. After about a minute there is a tiny "click" from the lever, and Vencarlo gives Mhairi a nod. She pulls it again. Somewhere a bell rings, there is the now familiar sound of distant mechanics mocing and the...

OOC: Oops, realised it's probably down to me next! The lightning spirit darts aside from Hang's attack, quicker than the normally deadly warrior. Perhaps the motion of the ship on the stormy seas has affected his abilities. Whatever the reason, it dodges away from harm and hovers nearby...

That's a good point about the senses. Sibeccai get scent too, but it's at their 3rd racial level whereas with litorians its at 1st racial level. It would almost make more sense to grant sibeccai keen smell and litorians keen hearing and keen sight, or something like that. As for size changes...

Steve Gorak, yes, I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work, go for it! Toasterferret, I believe I wore your shoes once in Hayabusa's Dawn of Defiance. Either of those would work - a rogue is always useful in 1e-based stuff, but not essential to this adventure, I would say. Note that as 1st...

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of the litorians having advantage on sight, hearing and scent Perception rather than merely proficency, it kind of makes them sensory masters. In which case, remove Keen Senses and add Perception to the selection from Noble Hunters. Today I'm...

This is combining two things I want to have a go at playing. The 5th Edition rules, and an adventure from White Dwarf issue 9 (from 1978) called The Lichway, by Albie Fiore. If you read my WD reviews from a couple of years back, you'll have seen me raving about this adventure, which is a neat...

Thanks Sadrik. The faen, I think, will be relatively simple and I've got some thoguhts on how to do metamorphosis. I'm pondering wether to make the mojh and the dracha subraces of Dragonborn, although that removes the human origins of the mojh, which is part of their character. The Keen Senses...
