[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 3401935, member: 463"] I fear the Troll Lords may be too nice and/or timid to give EGG's prose the tough editing it really really needs. Necropolis (pub by Necromancer) had the same problem. I agree about the PCs-as-acorns - way to kill GM enthusiasm stone dead! :eek: Would have been much better to bury that one in the middle somewhere. I keep thinking about ways I could get HoMP to work. Players hate feeling 'trapped' in an adventure if it goes over 1 session, and HoMP is more like 50 sessions of trappedness! Having to work through every damn pane seems like a brutal slog, too. I'm thinking maybe some kind of Hall that's part of a regular dungeon, the PCs can access panes at will. I dunno though, the whole thing is problem-based not exploration-based, every single pane you have to 'solve' it to exit, Quantum Leap style. Hm, Quantum Leap... there's a thought... :) Edit: Yeah, I do actually have a PC in my B/X PBEM who's already a kind of interplanar Sam Beckett - go to world X, save person Y - and she's a devout Crisan (Christian)... I can definitely see how this might work... :D [/QUOTE]
