What's the word on White Plume Mountain?

Black Razor, soul sucking two-handed sword.

Black Razor was a bastard sword.

Actually, Blackrazor was a "sword".

Actually I have been planning an adventure with WPM as the basis for quite some time. My players are finally at the cusp of heading into that adventure. They have a lot more motivation to retrieve the artifacts stolen though. I love the new map. I will be interested in seeing if they retain a lot of the same flavor of the original. If they do, I will still be replacing some of those with encounters that make more sense for the adventure I am running.

I'd be VERY interested in any updating/modifications you did with it...

The poem wasn't much. Just a few quatrains of doggerel. I was able to whip out a passable sonnet in a half hour to replace it.

And the party was ordered to retrieve the weapons. That era of adventures had a simplistic approach to motivation, as I recall. At least WPM didn't threaten you with death if you failed the adventure and survived.

So has the updated version been posted on WOTC? Bard Stephen, you mentioned a "new map"... where did you get that?

Thanks!

Actually, the link was in a thread here a few days ago. But here it is again: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/mapofweek/Nov2005/05_WhitePlumeMt_300_ppi_w9nfdp.jpg
It is sweet looking!

Jjust looked it up. You are correct. I think me and my friends must have tried to extrapolate what kind of sword it was from the rear illo. Ah, that was quite a ways back!

I have a slew of artifacts that were stolen in my campaign world. Each is a bit different, though the trident has some strong similarities. But the thefts were instigated by something completely different from Keraptis the long dead wizard. I am still using a good 10-20% of the backstory, but the setup is different. The encounters will be mostly similar in flavor, but adjusted to be decent challenges for a group of 7 8th level PCs. Oh, they will also have a lot of diabolic flavor where I can drop it in. As well as trickery/deception. My intent is to make WPM a bit memorable, but very much in the flavor of the current campaign.

I'm not sure it would even be useful for anybody else.
