About the only published stuff I didn't hack apart was the original Freeport trilogy. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  For a closer look at the original Isle of Dread, Horacio has linked Lazybones' Story Hour a page or so back.  His is pretty close, while mine is more like a 'Return to the Isle of Dread'...And for a potentially amusing look behind the scenes...I had originally intended for Our Heros to escape by means of a teleport spell, which Di'Fier doesn't have, yet.  Unfortunately, I forgot that Di'Fier's levels in Spellsword only give him a caster level boost every other level, leading to a conversation that went sort of like this.DF: "Well, that wizard knew teleport.  Of course, even if we found his spellbook I wouldn't be able to cast it for another 3 levels..."Me: "What?!"DF (continuing): "...and I hope we're not going to be here for that long..."Me: "I mean, ah, don't worry.  You'll get off the island before then." (hurriedly scribbles in his notes)JHow'd they do it? You'll just have to wait and see...</blockquote>
