If I wasn't too busy with other things I'd be tempted to follow your lead.<br /><br />I actually own most of the early ICE 'Loremaster' campaign modules ('Iron Wind', 'Cloudlords of Tanara', etc.). They're worth checking out, as they're full of cool ideas, all packed tightly into relatively short modules. I think most are available now in PDF at RPGnow/Drivthru.Akrasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734103159691571156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-88857445900299818752011-04-15T18:15:46.765-05:002011-04-15T18:15:46.765-05:00I always liked the Iron Crown of the Lombards.

I noticed that with Lucky Number Kung Fu early on.)Zak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-23682687184785719242011-04-14T14:04:52.801-05:002011-04-14T14:04:52.801-05:00Ha, this is great I'm enjoying this already. ...Ha, this is great I'm enjoying this already. Watching you post on this issues brings back just how much more time I had back in the day. I mean each and every one of those pictures is as if I saw it yesterday -- and I don't think I've paged thru that issue in the last 10 yrs. I'm hoping the Dragon #69 campaign continues!Terrexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326372724518590612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-22826241139481952842011-04-14T14:04:45.782-05:002011-04-14T14:04:45.782-05:00Jeff, Thanks for the shout out.

-Concerning St...Jeff, Thanks for the shout out.<br />:)<br /><br />-Concerning Star Frontiers.<br />I see a legend of a man, a woman, and an intelligent apeman that claimed their vessel from the stars crashed. They claimed they were members of a "Galatic Legion" until some sort of fireball or lightning struck their vessel and forced it to crash land. They had many strange magic items and were sought after by the Wizards Guild, never to be heard from again. <br /><br />Though their is a rumor of a man named Danlak O' Falcon that he is a distant descendant of the man and woman of legend. He lives in a craggily metallic structure near the top of a mountain and seems to communicate with all manner of bird and beast. It is also said he can communicate with anybody in any language. (Can you say universal translator and remnent of crashed ship)<br /><br />Also could Circe be a lost descendant as well like an evil Princess Leia but not know it?<br /><br />I love the 13 roll idea but I would make it simplier. Roll a natural 7 effects your opponent a 13 effects you. Thus lucky 7s and unlucky 3s come into play.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985740014791585885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-19204963245833431202011-04-14T14:03:38.551-05:002011-04-14T14:03:38.551-05:00Maybe "Anytime a natural 13 is rolled, go to ...<i>Maybe "Anytime a natural 13 is rolled, go to the General Fracas Chart. If your net attack roll is a hit, the Fracas result affects your target. If it's a miss, you are affected instead."</i><br /><br />Ooh! I like that!<br /><br />If I sent this series to my Congressman, as an argument for why the government needs to invest in Life Extension Research, do you think he would get it?
