D&D General D&D adventure set in London

[Peter BOSCO'S]

I remember it featured horse-drawn wagons delivering beer.

That isn’t something I saw when I lived in England in 1989-1990, but I can absolutely believe it in the 1950’s and possibly as late as the early 1970’s for a very special situation (maybe an old one-man operation brewer).

(My grandfather delivered milk by horse drawn wagons NYC in the 1930’s - the horse and yoke on the Teamsters Union symbol is something their members actually handled back in the day.)

Or, it could be a sign that it’s not quite our 1980’s London.

I’ve always loved this adventure, and the concept of crossover with 1980’s Lake Geneva, WI.

It's partially based on "The Borribles" novels from the 1970's, and a big part of the plot of those was the Borrible's (kids who become un-aging halfling Rogues with pointed ears who pass as human kids until you pull their hats off. If their ears are clipped they become human again) desire to save an elderly and now obsolete horse from the knackers. If I ran it I would move it back to about 1975 and justify all the cops having guns on increased police militarization following the defeat of the police by the Borrible's in the novels.

Published in 1985, so after the movie “An American Werewolf in London” (1981) and Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London” (1978), yet I don’t recall it have a single werewolf or visit to Chinatown for beef chow mein. #missedopportunties

It's also a missed opportunity that the song was never used on the soundtrack.

Apparently John Landis was unaware of the song.

Great movie of course, but it could have included scenes in the London areas of Barking and the Isle of Dogs!

Seems like it would belong over the end credits, like “Ironman” IIRC was used over the end credits for the first Ironman movie.

There is a novel in the Helldivers series where they find a 99 level deep underground facility in a city where basements don't exist because the water table is just below the surface. Its called suspension of disbelief and is a requirement for tings like fantasy and sci-fi.
