Ron: I just wanted to say that I really enjoy what you are doing with your blog. I would post there directly, but I despise google and it wants me to go to annoying lengths just to verify a non-google account to post a bloody comment (did I mention I can't stand google?) and I refuse to play its games so therefore can't be arsed. (One of the reasons I abandoned my own blog....) However, I do want you to know that I appreciate what you are doing, so I can be arsed to come here and post a comment in a reasonable way. Anyway, I love the old-school vibe. Keep it coming.

THANKS a ton for that support, Branderwydd....its the sort of thing that will keep me going! I really do appreciate it, and believe me, oh how I am with you on the google thing...to be brutally honest, I'm not even into this internet thing much at all (how's that for old school? ha, ha)..I'm just not smart enough for it all, but maybe I am doing something that is at least fun to read and can contribute in some way. Almost didn't get back into this blog thing because of it (google, blogging, all of it), but I decided it would be worth it to do this.
I'm open to anything you'd like to see on that blog too, suggestions wise! Feel free to hit me here with anything you'd like to see me cover or do more of. I really don't know any other gaming ways, so, rest assured; it'll stay old school (all I got..).
Thanks so much for your support...I'm so glad folks are enjoying it. I had no idea anyone would even look at it...sorta become a hermit in the last 20 years.

The "lists of 36" are an enjoyable read, the encounters have a kind of nightmare quality which would spice up any adventure. But really, I've enjoyed everything you put on there so far.
Just sorry we won't see any more of Korag. He was pretty hopeless as a fighter but he sure had a good image. Maybe when your solo adventures have collected enough victims you could have an online poll on who gets miraculously revived.

Hey, that's a really good idea! Probably get about 10 guys wiped out anyhow, then see which one everybody thinks gets the Lazarus treatment...ha, ha. I like it. You know, you mentioned the 36 lists having a weird kinda nightmare quality too, and I think you are right. My style of running games at the table are sort of like that, with a lot of humor. Maybe sorta in a surreal dream sort of way. I'm hoping to get a list of new things up at least a few a week.

Already visited. Looks great.
Now all the delvers need is a T-shirt that says "I've been to Ratrock Mountain."
Better not print too many though, in case nobody comes out alive.

Another great idea, Houndle! That actually would be possible as I do that for a living..ha, ha..given your observation, how about "I GOT KILLED AT RATROCK MOUNTAIN."

Hope it's okay to post this here, but just wanted to mention that I'm working away on my dungeon to post on my blog. I'm working on the pdf. packet now that will cover the introduction to the mountain and the main entrances. Then, I'll have individual adventure pdfs. for each of the main entrances to work with. Working mainly on random animal and monster encounters for each area right now.
Also, need to grab another solo and give it a whirl.
Gotta start back to teaching here pretty soon once the students are back on campus, so..bit of a lag, but still staying enthused and wanting to offer my creation for free on the site soon...!
