[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 5660609, member: 25619"] A steampunk spaceship shaped like a giant spider! (And apparently it may NOT have been capable of spaceflight, according to later posters. I dunno.) The movie "Wild Wild West" had an homage to the giant steampunk robotic spider (which wasn't a spacecraft). Anyhow, I think how you react to this module has a lot to do with whether you read it, or played through it. I went through it as a player, and found it very exciting and intriguing. I have no idea where the module ended and the DM's creative began, but I suspect a lot of it was down to our DM. Specifically I remember: -- Dwarven fortress city under siege in a cold, cold mountainous winter. We used a dragon to dive bomb the attackers and drive them back. -- A planet with pink lemonade seas and lizardmen with Conquistador era ships exploring an archipeligo like the Caribbean. The lizardmen had gunpower cannons, totally unheard of our version of D&D to that point. -- A planet with centaurs and elves threatened by drow -- The spidership. When we nearly bested Lolth the first time, she teleported out. We followed. She was rebuffed, but we killed her again, this time for keepsies while low on spells. [/QUOTE]
