I'm currently playing in Dungeons of Drakkenheim and it's absolutely awesome. I'm also playing in WFRP Enemy Within, and that is equally great. Big thanks to fellow poster @TheSword for running both games. As far as my wishlist goes; I'm planning to run Dark Tower or Caverns of Thracia after my...

I'll be following this with interest, and supporting it as long as Bledsaw Jr is in no way involved. I lost a character battling the Witches of Marmon in the Wilderlands (in around 1981), so any chance to go back will be welcomed!

I enjoyed the Halls of Tizun Thane adventure, and generally liked a lot of the stuff that Albie Fiore did for the game in these early days (to show how early, I was 17 then, I'm 62 now!)

I always liked that cover art. Not necessarily for technical artistic merit, but its evocative nature; the skeletal remains of a spacefarer, centimeters from a first aid kit, and what (to me) looks like the ghostly apparition of a dying spaceship behind them. It gives off a haunting "what is the...

Looks interesting. Might be worth re-reading Moorcock's "Warhound and the World's Pain" to get that 30 Years War (plus demons) vibe.

I used to travel extensively in the USA, both for work and pleasure, and have been fortunate enough to visit all 50 beautiful states, meet so many great people and see amazing things, but I won't be returning all the time that a certain person is President. I do appreciate that this is purely...

It's hard to make any sense of his constant flip-flopping on tariffs and exemptions, which would be just an observation of incompetence if it didn't impact so many people's lives. The old saying after 1929 that "when America sneezes, the world catches cold" remains the case sadly, for all of us...

Slightly tangential as it's not directly about inspiring my homegrown setting, but I'm blessed to live close to a number of historical sites and I've played RPGs in at least three of them, which is very atmospheric and inspiring. Specifically the ruined castles at Thurnham and Sutton Valence...

I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on the Norman Conquest period, and have retained an affection for that era, which I often apply to my campaigns. subsequent academic work on the Cold War and on contemporary Global Politics has been used rather less!

So Trump's level of economic understanding and general global awareness is 1830s..................Yep!!!!

Thank you for sharing this information. Many challenges to be faced by all decent human beings in coming years, economic and beyond.

I actually play and enjoy D&D 2024. It was a light-hearted comment. Sorry if it offended you.

13 attacks per round? Think I might move to running Shadowdark.

Scary cliffhanger versus evil wizard.

Both. We have a monthly in-person weekend, with @TheSword and myself sharing DM duties, so we both get chance to play as well. We also have a fortnightly Warhammer RPG game, with three of the same players and one addition (who has just gone all John Wick after their small but vicious dog was...

The Houri class was certainly "interesting", though my view of it then (as a 16 year old rugby playing schoolboy) was less mature than I am now. I do remember the little joke of the backstory featuring an unfortunate rogue called Thaddeus Leaf, and wondering if the wordplay joke translated...

Keep on the Borderlands Giants series Caverns of Thracia White Plume Mountain Caverns of Tsojcanth Forge of Fury Frontier Forts of Kelnore Tomb of Horrors Dwellers in the Forbidden City I adore every single one of them!

I’m old enough to remember City State of the Invincible Overlord and City State of the World Emperor, from back in 1E days. I used the former as a DM and walked the mean alleys of the latter as a player.

City of Greyhawk. Where it all began.

Dave was a year above Phil and myself in school, back in 1977. He'd got hold of a new game from the USA, called Dungeons and Dragons, so we rolled up two characters. I played a fighter called Aelric and Phil played a mage called Amroth. It was great (until we were killed by orcs after reaching...
