O'henry's Halls of Horror

[mgtremaine]

I'm going to post up a rough draft of my first GM adventure for everyone who is interest to take a look at. I started this back in 1991 as town adventure run by very own Wizard. He was only 8th Level at the time and is now 10th. I've had a lot of fun with it over the years mostly imagined since he was primarily a solo adventurer but he did get to play in a Dungeon of Bear lv 1-2 outing once.

In any case consider this BETA it is missing several important sections. 1) The front shop and what you can buy there. Rather critical for a Magic Shop. 2) O'henry back story and personality traits so the GM can better run him. 3) The Rogue's Test is missing it's map I still have to draw it. 4) O'hnery has an assiantant named Chance that needs to be added. 5) Proofreading sadly I'm a master of grammer and spelling errors

Once all that is added I'll adjust the layout again and make it pretty as I can.

With all that in mind here is the rough draft as PDF

Since I'm not going to get a chance to work on it again until next week that will give me a few days to get any feedback anyone might care to post.

Interesting dungeon there, mgetremaine. I haven't had time to look through all the rooms thoroughly though, just read some here and there after the intro. That wizard is pretty beefed up LOL. But, I guess you aren't suppose to ever fight him anyway heheh. Have an exalt.

Oh yes O'henry stats are over the top but in my defense he is a first generation SOLO character, which as we all know tend to make super-hero characters. So although I'd not enjoy running him in a multi-player GM style group he's perfect for the Mini-God like NPC that runs a local Dungeon. [As a post more content you'll get to see some more ridiculous PC's, I even have a fully stated Kharg for my world and Cala's 27th Level Wizard lord also.]

Looks like a good start, mgtremaine! I look forward to seeing where it goes from here.

I'll offer to proof-read when you get nearer to the final version, if you like. I'm unlikely to have time before mid-December though, the way work is going at the moment, so take the offer as tentative until then...

I posted an updated PDF. I did a new cover, I'm graphically challenged so don't expect to too much. I added some interior graphics culled from www.pdclipart.org/ all which appear to be public domain, and I modified them to fit my needs. This should be pretty close to the end product. As I always I'm open to suggestions, comments, and criticisms.

This is definitely looking better now Mike. I see you still haven't run it through some spelling and grammar fixing haha, but that's okay. I like the super expensive storefront. Something to spend all that gold on is good. I don't have a game group to GM them through this so I haven't really tested it or anything. I've just been briefly looking over it here and there. Keep up the work though, and an exalt for ya. And also, thanks for that link. I'm going to peruse it to see if there's any useful public domain art for my next free mini-solo.

Proofreading is really hard for me I hear what I meant in my head rather then actually reading what is on the page . The best part is my mother was english teacher for 35 years and my wife has a MFA in creative writing. I think my sub-concious is in permeant rebellion against grammar.

Nice work Mike, always good to see some fresh material and I do like a dungeon 'owner' who puts in an appearance.

<Edit>
Hey, I'm having a proper read of this now, it's chock full of juicy imagination... I feel an exalt coming on!

Oooo I just love reading other writer's dungeons! I'm gonna download and print right now!

Lovely little dungeon, enjoyed reading it!

[mgtremaine]

Thanks, glad you liked it! I enjoyed digging out the old character folder to bring it to the digital age.
