<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">It is with reluctance that I write about Dave Arneson Week.
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">Reluctance, because much of the impetus is that Dave Arneson is dead and we on this mortal </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">plane have lost so much </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">knowledge of what was, what is, and what could yet be. Dave Arneson </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">Week, or Blackmoor Week if you prefer, is </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">24 September through 1 October. That’s an eight-day </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">week, and I think Sir Arneson would have liked that incongruity. </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">And we never appreciated Dave </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">as much while he was available, as we do now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">You understand that Dave invented the roleplaying game, also known as rpg or rolegame. Not just</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">a new game, but a </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">new </span><i style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">kind</i><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;"> of game, with implications that reach back to the very purpose of </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">games. “Why do children play games to </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">the exclusion of almost everything else? Why is Let’s </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">Pretend their most popular type of game?” have asked </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">specialists and parents for ages, and the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">answer is always “to learn.” If you ask “to learn what?” the answers vary from </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">“to learn how to grow</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">up” to “to learn everything!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">Why did we ever stop playing Let’s Pretend when we stopped being children?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">Dave not only got us playing Let’s Pretend, he made it grown-up and edifying. We simulated the </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">fantastic and the </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">not-so-fantastic, and we learned - whether we wanted to or not - a little more </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">about other people and about ourselves. </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">The sages advised us to walk a mile in another man’s </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">shoes. Dave got us walking and adventuring in other men’s </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">shoes, in women’s shoes, and in the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">shoes of creatures who never wore any shoes. We serendipitously bumped into </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">our assumptions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">and others’ -- and while we may not have always examined those assumptions (a shocking </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">number </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">of players never have!) we did bump into them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">All this is to say that something new is still going on, even when blanded as much as </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">mass-production can bland. </span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">On </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">the other hand, mass-production means that more is available to </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">more people than could have been under the </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">hands </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">of only one, or two, or a few gamesmasters. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">You may play Dungeons & Dragons, the first “professional” rpg, </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">which </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">carries Dave’s name as </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">merely a co-creator (for D&D grew out of Dave’s home game, which we call Blackmoor </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">because that was the name of the castle and because there was no name) or any other rolegame</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">that existed, exists, </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">or will exist. You still owe your game’s origins to Dave Arneson.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">I have friends in various careers of advising, counseling, medicating, and so forth - who use </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">Arneson’s inventions of </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">rulings, simulations, and “fly by the seat of your pants” connections in </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">logic - to bring health and career </span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">advancement </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">advice to their patients and clients. The Real </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">World benefits of rolegaming and its usage (sometimes in </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">“mere” dialog) were used in teaching </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">by Dave fairly early in his teaching career. I used it in training “problem soldiers” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">who were ‘given’ to me by other supervisors; a last-ditch effort to turn bad attitudes into positive </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">and creative men and </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">women. Except for one person, these techniques and attitudes worked. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">And yes, sometimes it was painful. </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">No evil dragon was ever defeated without sacrifice in games, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">fiction, or real life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">There’s a book you should read, which explains this is an almost-algebraic language that the </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">author is developing just </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">to explain what Dave Arneson’s creation is and what it does. It’s by </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">Rob Kuntz, one of the unsung creators of what </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">became D&D, and it’s still available at </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">https://www.threelinestudio.com - and I sha’n’t review it now, because I’ve done </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">a short review before and it deserves a much longer, much better review. Frankly, it deserves a </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">long, better review by </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">someone who is a better writer - because I can’t explain it without lauding it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">Too Much. So very Too Much, that you </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">wouldn’t believe how useful the book is and how much it </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">barely scratches the surface of what Rob has yet to write. </span><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre;">It’s that good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">But it can tell you why and how Dave Arneson is still changing the world. All I can do is tell you that</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="white-space: pre;">he still is</span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre;">.</span></span><br />

Told you that I would be back! Just needed a three-year nap. Don't laugh. You'll be my age soon enough and you'll learn the value of naps. But I had to wake up long enough to tell you about<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-5e9d86c8-5181-27eb-2a86-4abdb8768c2f" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Interesting Items of Questionable Quality - Volume Two</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Today, Dungeons & Dragons takes itself as seriously as a Scrabble competition. ‘Twas not always so, especially in the first D&D world of Dave Arneson's. His Blackmoor campaign was a deathly dangerous world where funny things happened that could kill you. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">B. A. Simon (if that's his name) would have fit right in Dave's campaign or even Gygax & Kuntz’s later Greyhawk. There are fish, helmets, and even a corset which can provide wonderful magic assistance in times of danger - or terrible curses at the most inopportune times. Usually both. And they'll generate laughs for everyone but the player's character - even the player, if they're there to have fun. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It's kind of a shame this is hidden behind the DM Guild site, because it would be good for gaming groups to deal with the unexpected. Everyone knows the hit dice and potential danger of a bugbear, but who would suspect a poncho? The attributes of items are easily transferred to other rulesets. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Used minimally, as salt is to soup, the items in the booklet - and your items that you’ll be inspired to create - will similarly spice your campaign. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: yellow; color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">"One of the more entertaining solo adventures I've played, which then turns around and (in the second part of the book) presents the same adventure as a gamesmaster module! You AND your players will be able to enjoy this new city, and you'll find and create portions and adventures that Jerry hadn't imagined!</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">"You'll love the illustrations too, and they're handy for the GM who runs this for his gamers!</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">"One of the best bargains to be found on Amazon!"</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">That was then. This is now. How does DC:DB-K look now that Deluxe Tunnels and Trolls has come out?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Better than ever, and isn't that cool? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">COOL that it's completely compatible with Deluxe Tunnels and Trolls (Hereafter and forever referred to as "dTnT.") and at least 95% compatible with even the oldest edition of Tunnels and Trolls. (Forever and hereafter referred to as "TnT.")</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">COOL is that the solo offers opportunity to practice any skill, trait, etc that you might think of. Most likely that you'll fail if you think the world revolves around your character ("I immediately jump forward and lop off the head of Odin with my penknife.") but you can certainly attempt anything - and there's almost always a reaction or consequence programmed right into the adventure.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">COOL is that the solo also allows and encourages (and this is a HUGE strength) you to make gamesmaster calls and choices as well as character choices. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">and VERY COOL is that it works even better as a regular GM sourcebook/city for your players. I've run this nicely, and I can tell you that once you have Other People running characters, your options and scope is multiplied by a factor of (some algebraic symbol which references the combination of all players' imagination and paranoia) - the adventure will run several sessions, becoming a campaign city if you but let it.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">This is a ridiculously low price and a deceptively small page count for what is weeks and weeks of game play.</span></span>MormonYoYoMan@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04760670974938562837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504436785307292497.post-64359212864767635002015-04-18T20:13:00.003-05:002015-04-18T20:14:10.223-05:00Asgard & Vikings & Castles & Crusades<i><b>Codex Nordica</b></i> is one of the more meticulously researched books on the Scandinavian lands and legends, not just game-related. There's so much rich material here. Here is the ore from which Kirby and Lee mined and alloyed so successfully and has been put on the screen. No, this isn't the Marvel version of the legends - this is the stuff from which they made their own version, their own adventures. <br />
<br />
Now, players and gamesmasters have even more data than Lee & Kirby had, with which to build their/our own adventures, our own cosmic odysseys. We'd have given our eyeteeth for this book in 1978!<br />
<br />
How could the book be improved? Color. More pages. Maybe hardback printing. In other words, more of what it already is.<br />
<br />
And it's just plain fun to read. Kudos to everyone involved!<br />

<br />
This isn't just a book. This isn't even <b><u>just</u> </b>a solo adventure! No - THIS is the beginning of a hernia. Your mail person will hate you.<br /><br />It's huge not only in size and weight, but in scope. The adventure is actually multiple adventures, which can - oddly enough - be played simultaneously or in sequence -- and with one or more characters each time. <br /><br />You've read the synopsis, so you know the basic plot. It's right there in the title. We never really know why your character decides to risk his or her life to become the mate of one of the queens of various "levels" of a human/bee hybrid species. (I'd love to see the best backstories that players/readers will undoubtedly invent!) <br /><br />It would help a lot if you have the Tunnels & Trolls rules (cheap at any price, but usually Darned Inexpensive) any edition. And it would help you a bit further if you hung around in Trollhalla http://www.trollhalla.com/ where players, writers, and artists of TnT (as we like to call it) have far too much fun and spend far too much time to have a real life. There, you would pick up on hints and tropes which can save your character's life or dignity. But probably not both.<br /><br />This is so adaptable that Khenn himself (the creator and ever-trollish Trollgod of Tunnels & Trolls as well as Monsters! Monsters!) ran this as a play-by-post game with a dozen or so players. <br /><br />Let us not neglect the useful, delightful, and rather fun/goofy illustrations by Stanley Ditko, who is rapidly becoming a pillar of art in the fantasy culture. (He MUST get lots of jokes about being the cloned child of Spider-Man's two fathers!) Some of his art in this book is better than other pieces, but you'll enjoy watching his work grow in maturity and expression. Soon, we'll be saying we knew him when.<br /><br />For twenty bucks, you get probably months of adventure for yourself, scenarios you can use on your players (heh heh heh!) and a chance to give your mailman a heart attack. Do not believe Lulu's claim that the book is only 2.06 pounds! I'm pretty sure that Mark translated incorrectly from that fantasy metric stuff.<br /><br />And beware the snot monster!<br /><br />*jeep! & God Bless!<br /> ----Grandpa Chet<br />

Howard. <br /><br />This solo can be played as pure action, if you wish -- but there are moments when doing the unlikely or thinking like a crazy man might accomplish something equally crazy. This adds a bit more intrigue, and there are real surprises hidden in this solo.<br /><br />Ken wrote this to be compatible or based on first edition Tunnels & Trolls, but it's as compatible with the latest edition as with any other. <br /><br />Simon Tranter's art (especially the cover!) sets the mood eloquently! I might quibble about the supporting (?) character of Cherry, who really should have enough sense to wear at LEAST chainmail for protection, but that would be my only quibble. (Or I might have given Cherry the line from Bus Stop that Marilyn Monroe made famous: "It's not Cherry - it's Sha-REE!") <br /><br />All in all, an exciting and enjoyable romp, wherein we may (or may not) meet and successfully rescue Fang, whom we haven't seen since 5th edition Tunnels & Trolls. He seems to have just as bad luck as he did in 1976!<br />
<br />
I want more adventures of Fang, of Cherry (or Cherie, if you listen to Marilyn), and of whoever it is that we, the solo player, portray when we set out to rescue someone we've never met, in the company of a girl we only met that day, and a troll whom we don't know at all. Am I some sort of an idiot or what?<br />

<b>More than worth the price! </b>MormonYoYoMan@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04760670974938562837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504436785307292497.post-78698088036412494872013-06-30T18:22:00.004-05:002013-06-30T19:55:52.896-05:00Playing at the World - maybe the deepest history of rolegaming yet<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Playing at the World</b>, a history by Jon Peterson, is available at http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/106492/Playing-at-the-World for $17.99 (ebook) or at most bookstores for around $35 in paperback.</span><br />
<br />
Jon seems to be angry with Ken St Andre, for he bad-mouths him frequently in this volume. Otherwise, the research seems pretty objective - a nearly impossible task considering the meager documentation and vague memories of the principles involved. <br />
<br />
It seems so long ago, and yet I was around and occasionally involved with some of the principles and innocent bystanders. (No big feat. If you live long enough and travel enough, you eventually meet everybody.) I doubt any would remember me, but I do remember much of what they said - but only because I journaled it at the time. <br />
<br />
Jon captures the freewheeling feelings of anything being possible, of the "can do" attitudes of so many of the principles, and almost - but not quite - captures some of the feuds which inevitably occur in creative endeavors. Business sense and creative sense do not usually reside in the same brain (and when it does, we see self-made zillionaires who stepped on no one - these are historically rare) so there are a lot of stories of creative people who got cheated or fell along the way or just couldn't explain what they could do instinctively. <br />
<br />
It probably raises as many questions as it answers, and this is what makes it a good history. People are complex, contradictory, and fascinating. Creative people are doubly so. Gamers and game creators are more off the wall. Combine all these, and you have Jon's very satisfying, very fascinating history book -- which is screaming for a sequel as soon as possible!MormonYoYoMan@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04760670974938562837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504436785307292497.post-25549045858368792142013-06-21T18:47:00.001-05:002013-06-21T18:47:31.604-05:00Scratch Your Itch! Fleabitten Provides Adventure, Laughs, and Fatalities.This is one of the reasons why I recommend <b>Tunnels & Trolls</b> to any person who has or hasn't experienced rolegaming: Because the most nonconformist and, perhaps, dangerous ideas seem to run through TnT (the preferred acronym, which does imply its danger) first.<br />
<br />
Yes, there have been humorous scenarios before, going all the way back to Blackmoor. Yes, there have been humorous solos, going at least as far back as Deathtrap Equalizer Dungeon.<br />
<br />
Despite the precedents, there has been nothing quite like <i>Fleabitten</i>, and I don't know how to categorize it.<br />
<br />
It's humorous - a lot! And it has the sort of absurdist logic of Lewis Carroll. It's deadly, but only if you treat this adventure as you would most RPG adventures. And it's a solo, which can be adapted for GM use, especially if the GM is just a little bit cracked.<br />
<br />
The main track (which you may choose to not take) concerns an underwater adventure of discovery and deduction. You will discover a new type of dwarf and a LOT of things about undersea life that you never suspected. And you would, if this were a Call of Cthulhu adventure (and it could be), lose a lot of Sanity Points.<br />
<br />
As always, Mark provides options to options and options OF options. Almost every action has a consequence, and the characters (though absolutely ridiculous at times) usually come off as 3-dimensional - save for those who are not intended to seem realistic at all.<br />
<br />
You'll interact with some of your favorite fictional characters from comics and elsewhere...though they may seem a bit more eccentric than usual. They may even carry different names and forms. It's always a toss up whether Mark is seriously challenging your sense of humor, your sense of honor, or your gaming skills. Few people can pull off a comedy which is equally an adventure, or vice versa. There is a difference.<br />
<br />
Steve Jackson, decades ago, gave one of my favorite sayings when he stated that there's just not enough silly in games right now. Of course "now" was THEN, but I hope you get my meaning.<br />
<br />
And if you understood that last paragraph, much less the previous ones. <b>"Fleabitten"</b> is for YOU.<br />
<br />
You'll find it in the usual downloadable places, such as DriveThruRPG/RpgNow, and nowhere else of which I know. But you can always write Mark and annoy him to death. It would serve him right!MormonYoYoMan@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04760670974938562837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504436785307292497.post-31988112486338929252013-06-14T21:35:00.000-05:002013-06-14T21:35:25.365-05:00WESLYNN IS AVENGED!!<i><b>Review: Deathbed, a Tunnels & Trolls solo by Mark Thornton, aka Khaghbboommm. $1.99 at http://www.rpgdrivethrustuff.com</b></i><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">WESLYNN IS REVENGED!!!</span></span><br />
<br />
Mark has a talent for creating solo adventures which are NOTHING like the plots which came before. When he has options, he has options for the options; and the results may or may not be to your liking - but you probably won't know until you hit that Hitchcock twist in the plot!<br />
<br />
I was overjoyed to play this adventure, and even emerge in a - um - better (?) status than my PC started. If nothing else, he now is wiser and has some facts in hand that will help in the future.<br />
<br />
Yes, your "Deathbed" character has a future of adventure and intrigue. If Mark doesn't create sequels for this, an obvious prologue to a long epic story, then you should immediately prepare a long epic campaign and draw in more players.<br />
<br />
At one pivotal point, you may choose to be quested, in any number of ways, in any number of forms (literally) and I was lucky enough to have a chance to AVENGE the epic murder of one of the better characters I've seen. No, it was not one of mine - let's just say that "Deathbed" ranks high in honor for cleverly and effectively sequeling from perhaps the best campaign in which I've played.<br />
<br />
Mark, you actually lived up to a legend. Go forth and write more chapters!MormonYoYoMan@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04760670974938562837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504436785307292497.post-62938338821587944362013-04-20T18:25:00.004-05:002013-04-20T18:25:43.501-05:00The Liche is Back!And we thought Tomb of Horrors was scary...<br /><br />That was a long time
ago, when we learned, after several attempts, to cheat egregiously. It
could never get that bad again, because we were smarter - and we started
using systems which not only made more sense, but which enabled us to
learn from our failures as well as our successes.<br /><br />Welcome to a
new place, one which is not Tomb of Horrors, nor even an emulation of
it. For one thing, you're going to walk into it expecting, at worst, a
band of brigands and raiders under the direction of some dim-witted
ogre. Dangerous, yes, but less so for you and your hardy band of
highly-seasoned warriors, specialists, and wizards. Human and non-human
you be, and you've never tasted defeat nor fear.<br /><br />That was before
you discovered the secret of the Forest of Maugaral and the mausoleum it
hid. And that's just the beginning of your trouble --- no, this is not "Tomb of Horrors for Tunnels & Trolls." This is its own nightmare -- and yours.<br /><br /><b>"Deep
Where the Liche-Lord Lies"</b> is <u>Andy Holmes</u> again proving that he can
send a shiver or two up your spine. Disguised as a simple hack-and-raid
mission, this adventure holds secrets and puzzles to keep your group
occupied for at least three sessions, if not more. And they WILL keep
coming back, because Andy has the knack of throwing JUST enough at the
PCs where they think they have a good chance to press their luck just
One More Time. <br /><br />Plus, of course, your players' characters realize
that they're in it all the way now, and that backing out is worse than
suicide. The various monsters and traps aren't the real challenge; that
real challenge is to the players...What will they decide at different
moments, different places?<br /><br />The only thing to fear is fear itself.....they say.<br /><br />Inviting
your presence is Vasarax himself, on the cover by <u>Simon Lee Tranter</u>.
The liche looks almost neighborly, having decomposed comparatively
little. He seems cordial and friendly. Chilling!<br /><br />Inside,
illustrator <u>Jeff Freels</u> strips the facade away. Your more pleasant foes
have a look of greed and vice to them which is truly disturbing as you
study their features - for some reason, it's what Jeff DOESN'T include
in the portraits and settings which is unsettling. Don't dwell too long
on the frontpiece for Level 6. If you thought Jeff's humorous cartoons
were "cute," don't be surprised that he turns that impression against
you.<br /><br /><b>Tavernmaster Games</b> continues its impressive output with this
high-level adventure that is designed for Tunnels & Trolls - but
suitable for anyone you want to feel the crush of despair.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><b><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/images/pixel_trans.gif" width="10" />(This review originally appeared at http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_reviews_info.php?&reviews_id=80493&products_id=106127 which is where all those backslashes came from.) </b></span><br />
<br />
A solid hit. It\'s going over the center fielder\'s head! It\'s going - it\'s going!! It\'s GONE, right out of the park!! A solid HOME RUN!!<br />
<br />
Sequels are rarely as good as the originals. Hardly ever do they TOP the original! I can only think of two in the movie field: Bride of Frankenstein and Spider-Man 2. As for games, there\'s this, the sideways-sort of sequel to the Gamesmen of Kasar - and a partial answer to the riddle of what IS the motivation of these Gamers? And who are they?<br />
<br />
You\'re a person of some note in this solo. That is, you\'re of interest to the government (such as it is) of the planet, and they\'d just as soon jettison you into the nearest star. But if you can solve the problem/mystery of why the bizarre building, which houses an arena or something (No one really knows.) has gone berzerk and sent out robots to kidnap citizens -- well, that\'s just unseemly! And the robots and building being impregnable to their enforcement agents -- that\'s a disaster in the making!<br />
<br />
So you courageously (?) walk up to the entrance, announce yourself as another of the many who used to play their game in their arena, and wait to be show in --<br />
<br />
To what?<br />
<br />
Robots, aliens, monsters, and a big honking -- no, I shan\'t reveal it. But one of the most glorious of the classic monsters can be yours for the low, low price of taking the wrong turn.<br />
<br />
And you\'ve got to love Jeff\'s art - If H.P. Lovecraft merged with Earl Otis and had a pawkish sense of humor, this is the art he\'d create. To make it even more bizarre, Jeff is blind - and still one of the best artists in the business.<br />
<br />
This solo opens up what may be a campaign, and delivers more mystery even as it answers some of the mystery of the Kasar solo.<br />
<br />
Roy Cram has been absent from adventure creating for far too long! His return with \"When Good Games Go Bad\" has us excited for further adventures in this series.<br />
<br />
Creepy as it might be.<br />

At least not on DTRpgNow.<br /><br />But this is my own site, and I think I'll review that which I wish to review, and type about what I want to type about.<br />

Right now, I want to talk about <b>Deception: Strangebrew's Chambers of the Unknown</b> by <i>Mark Thornton</i>. Mark is competing for the coveted Longest Title award in any category he can manage. The solo is even longer.<br /><br />For yes, this is a solo adventure - AND it's a great Gamesmaster adventure also, with added fiddly bits for the GM. It's TWO great games in one, and just look at that shine! (Apologies to Shimmer.) Using the Tunnels & Trolls system, Deception invites you to rid the general area of an alchemist/wizard/<u>EEEEEvil</u> dude (maybe) who is just about to revenge himself upon the community and take over a whole lot of the world.<br /><br />And there's hardly any way to prepare for this mission, because Strangebrew (That's his name. Don't <br />blame me!) already grabbed most of the things you need and has them guarded and/or hidden and trapped <br />within his stronghold. <br /><br />IF you can find all these things and IF you survive and IF you can figure out how to use them correctly, you MIGHT survive and MIGHT find this isn't the end of things. The adventure continues - which may be good or bad. Literally.<br /><br />Because temptation is very real in this adventure. <br /><br />You have several choices, and it's not a clear good vs evil type choice. The Deception is that there may be advantages for everyone ... IF----<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, it's not black and white..<br />
<br />Mark outdid himself here. It's huge (and needs a POD option, so you won't use three ink cartridges) and<br />replayable in so many different ways. And then it can become a GM adventure for your players - which you can run as if you never played the solo - or which you can run as if the solo adventure happened and the players' characters are now dealing with the aftermath.<br /><br />This is good solid adventure with meat on its bones. Plenty of opportunity for the gamesmaster to "make it his/her own" yet plenty of information if you don't want to do a lot of work.<br />
<br />
I want more. Because this definitely calls for sequels, and I can't count on someone to gamesmaster it for me. If you are such a gamesmaster, report for duty right now! But first play Deception. It's the most fun a gamer can have.<br />----------------------------------<br />Deception is only $5.99 at DTRpgNow <br /><a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/btv37mx"><b>http://preview.tinyurl.com/btv37mx</b></a>MormonYoYoMan@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04760670974938562837noreply@blogger.com0
