These kind of verbal walkthroughs are so important for people like me who mostly have free time only when they're commuting. I can't read through an adventure while I'm driving. But I can listen to someone talk through it for me. I'm definitely going to run this adventure now thanks to this video.

I cannot begin to tell you how important your videos are I don't have a lot of free time and I'm moving about throughout the day especially driving and I can listen to these videos and get an idea the day before I run something. It's very very helpful.

Short sandboxy dungeon with factions and "living" inhabitants on the move without being tough to track I think this could be a really great adventure for first timers, reminds me of what was really awesome about Sunless Citadel I also have a special weakness for magical gemstone eyes of terrible consequence. There's that old AD&D cover art, the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser story, the Skyrim Thieves Guild quest that pays homage to both, it's really evocative

Excellent ideas for running a two faction dungeon. Each primary faction gets a level of the dungeon; the presence of a lore dump npc that is also very dangerous if crossed; a Rakshasa {shapeshifter} working for the spell-casting faction as a spy. One should buy the module in respect, but steal these ideas for one's table.

I ran your Lost Leprechaun Hollow mini adventure last week at an event for some of my college students and it was a *HOOT*. You've got me excited about this one now too, I will have to pull the zine off of the shelf :)

Love the eyes of the iron golem intrigue - can just see the PCs becoming power brokers if they can get them. The rebellion option too - lots of PC agency. When I started watching this - I thought 'oh no, a dungeon crawl, yawn' - but glad I watched on as the adventure looks really open with shed loads of roleplaying (as well as combat of course).
@xavierp76584 ай бұрын
Good dungeon crawls have that nuance. Bad dungeon crawls are just a series of combat encounters in adjoining rooms

I used to say it "dwer-gar" (like "swear"), until I saw Van Helsing, where they correctly said "DOO-er-gar." Considering I had the Dragon magazine with the pronunciation guide, and used it frequently, I should have known. But grey dwarves works. Or bad dwarves. "Bad dwarves, bad dwarves, what you gonna do..."
