Give the Worg a sibling, called to bring aid by a particular howl that echoes around the forest one night (ideally with a full moon) and the howl is answered................

RIP Ernie, and Tenser too. Condolences to all family and friends.

Grandmaster Grognard Guy reporting for duty: Back then: Played Original and 1E with schoolfriends, played rugby, listened to The Clash, green hair in spikes, had no money Now: Play 5E and Level Up face-to-face and online, watch rugby, still listen to the Clash, grey hair, economically...

Great edition with many fond memories. IIRC, Minifigs produced a range of models based on Valley of the Four Winds, and I think Citadel produced a Man Beast model.

Not that I know of. It had a really cool monster called the Sussurus, which was especially effective against undead.

The Satanic Panic was never a thing in the UK anyway, and my mum was too busy partying to worry about my hobby. In school, rather like @Endie , I played in the 1st XV rugby team, so bullying wasn’t a thing either. That said, I hope I also protected other “nerd hobby” students from would-be bullies.

Especially for it’s time, the Lichway was a great adventure.

Love this campaign, and your story of it. This brings back great memories! Currently our group is negotiating the Horned Rat section, around the scary Brass Keep. Your party has many hours of terror, suffering and great gaming ahead.

Three players so six characters. We played the Pathfinder version, and the system was getting somewhat bloated, allowing the more powergaming player to combine some obscure feats. I can’t really remember the details but he created a nigh invincible monk.

Sounds great! It was a few years back, but our DM allowed us two characters each ( I had a half-orc cavalier and a tiefling bard) but we still got battered. “ Luckily,” one of the players was a power-gamer and his characters were so well-designed (aka broken) that we managed to get through, just!

Slumbering Tsar; bit of a forgotten gem (IMHO) in the pantheon of excellent adventures. I've never run it, but I enjoyed exploring the wild lands surrounding the dungeon, which were pretty brutal!

All my playing Christmases have come at once, thanks to @TheSword : he's currently running Enemy Within for our online group, and we're about 3/4 through this legendary campaign. He's already stated that, after finishing, he will run Masks of Nyarlathotep for us. It gets better; in out monthly...

I love Forge of Fury, and have run it at least four times with different groups. Rappan Athuk is, rightly IMO, something of a legend; it's huge, deadly and fun. Both Caverns of Thracia and Dark Tower are masterpieces of early dungeon design. I'm looking forward to running the latter in my next...

“Clarion caller eaten by carrion crawler” would be a great lament to be sung by a subsequent bard character!

Late 1976; Aelric the Fighter braved the dungeon, rising as high as level 3 before falling in battle against an orc tribe. Never forgotten (by me at least!).

Wow!!!! This is stunningly good! Thank you, @Gradine for sharing your talent and imagination with us all.

I do admire 7e's decision to respect all true Grognards by starting every single sentence in the books with the words, "Gentle reader."

Why, oh why did they have to remove owlbears from the MM? Sure, it was a little awkward when the AI-generated, life-printed owlbear got loose at the “Mutantz & Mysogonistz” attempted relaunch rally and ate Musk and LaNasa, but that hardly justifies replacing them with owlbards in the new edition.

I'd definitely be up for buying, DM-ing and playing in a Hopepunk update of Dark Sun by @Steampunkette , albeit with ONE condition; as a UK gamer, I cant seriously think of any character named Borys (or any spelling thereof) as anything but a corrupt, incompetent and dishonest buffoon.

If Muskrat ever did play D&D, I reckon he played a worm that crawled up the backside of the Orange of Coot.
