I took B2, sliced the caves apart into individual lairs, and spread them out over a single 5-mile hex which is subdivided into 0.2-mile hexes. I am focused more on the party managing hit points and spells instead of long-distance provisioning. We'll see how that works out.

I have been planning an event at Dragonflight in Seattle in August and was thinking of a Chainmail/ Labyrinth Lord event. But this writeup is making me think I should make it a Chainmail/ OD&D crawl either on the OS map or something similar. <br /><br />Thanks for the report!James McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071008782847309923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-6342834544097831732014-05-08T13:40:32.600-04:002014-05-08T13:40:32.600-04:00You know, here's a side note on wolvesbane: it...You know, here's a side note on wolvesbane: it's used in the 1931 Bela Lugosi <i>Dracula</i> film to ward off vampires (and those films were some influence on D&D). Which might be related to the first line in the OD&D monster description, "Vampires: These monsters are properly of the 'Undead' class rather than Lycanthropes...", which I always found a weird thing to say, but might be a reaction to that film?<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aconitum#Cultural_significance" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aconitum#Cultural_significance</a>Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-52425589987416258872014-05-08T13:37:49.642-04:002014-05-08T13:37:49.642-04:00Glad you enjoyed it!Glad you enjoyed it!Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-28703928674400329302014-05-08T10:35:20.612-04:002014-05-08T10:35:20.612-04:00This was a great write-up.

I love that they took Ogre gibberish for gospel. <br /><br />Perhaps for Reincarnate a blanket -2 to rolls and checks the rest of the session, and then some sort of Save post play to either shrug it off, or make it a permanent level loss? This way, at the table play goes smooth, but still possible lasting consequence? <br /><br />Wolvesbane etc? maybe just a penalty to the creature' moral checks?Baquieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08357103428591599364noreply@blogger.com
