Re: Pre-Order PDF Sent Out

I am utterly blown away. It is gigantic..

Just the table of contents is a thing of beauty. I've just skimmed it, and the section on magic swords has me in awe.

Now to slowly read it through and truly absorb it...

Re: The Spell-Crypts of Thurfang Bormaug

Thanks Uncle Shecky! Unfortunately, I don't think I have those issues of Dragon. I dug out the old, boring find familiar chart from the 1e PH. The result was a crow. "Excellent Vision" was the trait. :| Took me forever to finish this summary. I'm actually playing again tonight. But here's ...

Re: The Spell-Crypts of Thurfang Bormaug

We missed a week or two due to a request for me to run the sequel to Dark Legacy of Evard. I'll be running it one week, and DCC the next mostly. But the way things worked out, I ended up running DCC today and will again next week. Summary: http://dungeoncrawlclassics.webs.com/adv6.htm One paragraph ...

Re: The Spell-Crypts of Thurfang Bormaug

Encounters was good this week. In two weeks, the new 'season' starts up. It involves Neverwinter, which none of us are too pumped about. I'm going to run it though - for who, I'm not sure. I may run it in the 5 PM slot. So we did the encounter and then got back to the Tomb of Aethering the Damned, w...

Re: The Spell-Crypts of Thurfang Bormaug

Summary: http://dungeoncrawlclassics.webs.com/adv4.htm Short Version: Heroes begin their journey to the orange spell-crypt (over 100 miles north). Two days in, Ulumax, Elemental Prince of Hail, demands the heroes head to a tomb to grab a soul crystal for him. They get to the tomb and fight an ogre v...

Re: The Spell-Crypts of Thurfang Bormaug

I forgot to put in my summary the inscription on the floor: "One true way be there only, so be it with the writings of Golila." This puzzle is from a second edition book called Treasures of Greyhawk, page 82. Here's their answer: "Explanation of the doors: The challenge for the player...

Re: The Spell-Crypts of Thurfang Bormaug

Well, the campaign is now rolling along quite nicely! We had another player, Brendan, jump in. I decided to have him make three 0-level plebes and if they survived the session, they hit first level. Here's the summary: http://dungeoncrawlclassics.webs.com/adv3.htm To quickly sum up the summary.... T...

Re: The Spell-Crypts of Thurfang Bormaug

OK it took awhile... we had one week where we just leveled up from 0 to 1, then we skipped a week, and finally this past Wednesday we played us some Dungeon Crawl Classics! Goodmangames said: Excellent! There's nothing like the threat of death to keep things exciting. One-shots in particular really ...

Re: The Spell-Crypts of Thurfang Bormaug

OK! So first I'll post the story-style summary, then go through thoughts and etc after. So skip the summary if that kind of thing bores you, intrepid interwebber... :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: 6/18/11: 'Twas loud and sweaty in the hobby store that day, but we persevered. And lo, many 0-level plebian...

Re: The Spell-Crypts of Thurfang Bormaug

Well... I ran the Free RPG Day adventure. The store we played in was really... how do I put it... loud? Very unpleasant? It's always a little nutty in there, but wow, this was pretty painful. I had to yell out the flavor text. People in costumes were rubbing up against my players because they were i...

Re: The Spell-Crypts of Thurfang Bormaug

finarvyn: Sounds like a great concept for an adventure. Your synopsis, while detailed, was also fun to read. Thanks! The Widow's Fee... I plan on using it for if there's a PC with magic items who die. I have no prob with them taking a rope off their dead buddy, or something like that. Just curious:...

The Spell-Crypts of Thurfang Bormaug

I play a lot of D&D and for quite a while I've been trying to run a more 'old school' style game in my 4th edition campaigns. Right now, I run a Chaos Scar/Tomb of Horrors campaign on Mondays at a game store, D&D Encounters (an official Wizards thing where you run one encounter a week from a...
