Hey Everyone, I'm going to be teaching an 8 week online continuing education class about writing adventure modules for ttrpgs at SVA, The School of Visual Arts in New York. I've had adventure modules published, successfully crowdfunding the comic book/module combo CHAOTIC NEUTRAL and...

Sorry if this is off-topic, Commodore but I really enjoyed running Whitecliff and I'm wondering if you're planning on publishing a new adventure/campagin like that anytime soon (I already own everything else you've published on DriveThruPRG).

Wow, thanks to all of you...this was incredibly helpful. I can't believe I overlooked Normal Human. One more question -is there a stat block you'd recommend for cultists? I'm thinking of something similar to the 5E cultist https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Cultist#content (basically non...

I'm trying to provide stats for the town portion of an adventure where PCs may want to recruit them for dangerous situations. Any advice for statting NPCS for B/X, OSE etc. I'm talking peasants, farmers, merchants, smiths etc. I can't seem to find a good set of rules for anything other than...

Haven't posted in a while, but you've all been very kind in adventure advice to me so I'm hoping you'll indulge me by checking out a new project that's in it's last couple days on Kickstarter. I'm a comic book creator (Graveyard of Empires for Image, Miskatonic for Aftershock, lots of stuff for...

Hey Everyone, I'm putting together an adventure module that will be sold together with a comic book I'm creating called Chaotic Neutral. Both the comic and module art meant to evoke early old school modules from TSR. (I'm trying to upload the art but the files are evidently too large). The...

First, don't feel bad about recommending your work. I mean, I was asking for suggestions, and it's on Bryce's list. Plus, if I wind up running one of your modules then I can bug you with stupid questions here:) In fact...it turns out I own Kellerin's Rumble, digitally and in print. For a...

I'll have to look at Bryce's list and think of things to add, but of the ones you've mentioned I'm dying to see some AP reports on Castle Xyntillan.

I tried a bit of Operation Unfathomable a bit. I admire it's originality, but I think it would be too gonzo for the campaign we've been running so far, and I think the FTD conversion would be a little hard. 5E monsters I can convert directly by halving their XP, old school "vanilla" monsters I...

I've posted before about the campaign I'm running using Five Torches Deep. We started with The Forbidden Caverns of Archaia, moved to Tomb of the Serpent Kings and now are in the midst of N1 Cult of the Reptile God. My players have let me know (very politely) that they are sick of dungeon...

So, haven't posted in a while even though my campaign has kept on going (and been one of the few sources of brightness as I'm quarantined alone in an apartment). I've lost track of what session we're on, but here's an update/overview for people if they are interested. Also, I'll put this in...

Sorry it took so long to reply to this mAcular. Haven't been to this forum for a while. It's been a while since I played Basic D&D, but I did run a year long campaign of B/X (with AD&D classes) and enjoyed it. I think we're now on something like week 12 of our weekly Five Torches Deep...

Thanks everyone for your replies, they were super helpful as always. @squeen - TOTSK is Tomb of the Serpent Kings. I hear you on writing my own adventures. The issue for me is that my day job is writing comic books/graphic novels (I actually have a new book out today, which I'll post about on...

So, I've been running a campaign for around 10 sessions now using Five Torches Deep, the simplified 5E hack. I have some session reports (that I'm behind on, sorry) in the Actual Play forum, and many of you were helpful in getting it started. The party started in the Forbidden Caverns of...
