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.

@Steampunkette The Ghosts of TSR people seem pretty foul, and they’ve probably been emboldened by wider events in the USA. But Hate always loses in the end.

Personally, I'd go for "Tangled Web of the Demon Queen", but whatever you choose your players are in for a blast! I've run the whole thing twice for different parties, as well as running the Giant threesome on several occasions, and my grandkids and wife will be entering Nosnra's Steading next...

I really enjoyed running Scarlet Citadel by Kobolds, and I’m looking forward to being a player in Drakkenheim fairly soon

I come from Niole Dra, and loads happens there! Farmer Apricot punched one of the judges at last year's marrow-judging contest, and the Widow Vinegar's dog bit one of Hamo Stare's boys just last week. And we had a hailstorm. It's just non-stop danger in Niole Dra nowadays! In fact, I'm thinking...

I often wondered what the white-furred beastie on the cover was? It looks pretty large and vicious!

Interesting thread. Grendleroot looks excellent. Anyone have experience of the Chaos Wastes anthology by Kobold Press (I think)?

The chance to defeat Bargle would be great! Of course, encountering Gutboy Barrelhouse in the same adventure, would be even better.

Awesome stuff! I’m lucky enough to have played in games run by @TheSword for over twenty years now. He is a brilliant DM!
