Incidentally, you’re probably already aware of this but in 1834 the Palace of Westminster ( aka Houses of Parliament) was largely destroyed in a fire. The building you see today is the rebuild. IRL the fire was probably an accident and took old due to the amount of old paper documents, but...

You’re right on all of this. The London sewer system mostly dates from after the “Great Stink” of 1858 forced Parliament to act. Joseph Bazalgette, the key builder, would only have been 15 in 1834 when your campaign was set. There were remnants of the old Roman sewer tunnels still operating...

Sounds brilliant. If there is anything I can do to help, I am a Londoner myself and my family have a long history of being working class Eastenders (aka Cockneys). I grew up in London and my great nan used to tell me stories of the old East End when she was a girl and Jack the Ripper was...

I’d never heard of Arden Vul till your post. Just had a look at it and Wow! Looks awesome.

I’ve never run Runequest. Played in it way back in high school (as in when I was a teen, not as the school principal I became later!) and loved the richness of the setting, but never got the chance to run a game. Maybe one day.....

I think megadungeons are adventures that carry a lot of weight in the game, even if they’re not to everyone’s taste. There are many out there but I’d give my vote to Rappan Athuk as the best of them from 3e onwards.

Adding my support for those who include the Giants series for 1E and Night Below for 2E to the list. I’d also add Temple of the Frog from the Blackmoor supplement to Original. Not so much due to quality, but due to its position as the first published adventure for the game. The OP doesn’t...

My favourite is probably Ehlonna of the Forests in Greyhawk, but the one that intrigues me most as a DM is the ultimate evil and despair of Tharizdun.

This game sounds awesome. Thanks for posting.

As a regular player in @TheSword ’s games, I love this idea. Makes combat a scary prospect. As it should be.

These articles are so good! Thank you!

The senior baron sounds like an arrogant, somewhat inadequate, unpleasant idiot: Perhaps he should get a job with NuTSR ....or perhaps he already has!

Hey, @Steampunkette , your first product is superb. I’m really looking forward to your future stuff. Cheering for you!

Seeing a good person succeed is a welcome feeling. You rock, @Steampunkette

The exact moment WOTC made this announcement, I didn’t actually notice because I was sat in a friend’s apartment, with four good mates, DM-ing a great 3PP adventure (shout out to Kobold Press and Scarlet Citadel) using 5e rules and playtesting the D&D1 stuff that’s been released already. We had...

Both Night Below and Return to the Tomb of Horrors for 2E were great fun to DM, and I think/hope my players enjoyed them too.

If I'm purely going for greatness, The Enemy Within for WFRP wins the "best ever" award, and I consider myself fortunate to be playing in it right now. Shout out to @TheSword as GM. If talking nostalgia, for me it will always be the Giants and Drow series from the late 70s/early 80s.

My two grandkids are desperate to see this movie. Looking forward to taking them

Loving this story hour.

Really like this idea. A resource like this could spark as many campaigns as there are regions in it; could even allow an aspect of shared continuity in multi-DM groups, with each DM running their game in a different setting from the book. If the regions are anything like the depth and richness...
