447. Stephen Bourne, Michael Dobson, Steve Mecca and Ken Rolston - CA2: Swords of Deceit (1986)

The last in the CA series of Lankhmar set adventures, this module brings together 3 adventures set in the City of Adventure, with some cameos (Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, of course) and a stellar group of adventure creators. Ken Rolston would eventually be the lead designer for a couple of little games called Elder Scroll: Morrowind and Oblivion. Curiously the Lead Designer for Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Bruce Nesmith, is also a TSR alum that we have mentioned before and will again.  I suppose that just shows the D&D pedigree of the Elder Scrolls series. 

A bunch of fun little adventures then, set in a well fleshed out world, with quite a lot of accessory material, some of which I will post here tomorrow, so stay tuned! There's a bunch of maps, including a really good full color map of Lankhmar for you to appreciate.

There weren't that many modules set in Lankhmar, although TSR would keep supporting the setting well into the 1990s, with new versions of the main campaign setting coming out for future editions of the game. Unfortunately, even with its literary pedigree as set in the world of the successful Fritz Leiber books, it would never be as popular as other D&D settings such as Greyhawk, Mystara, Dragonlance or the upcoming Forgotten Realms.

what you have to understand about dungeon meshi is that the entire conflict basically boils down to "every character is autistic but in ways that clash so catastrophically horribly that everyone thinks everyone else is a nuclear-level threat"

I’m way behind on Tumblr. Barely keeping up on tiktok with Butch positivity.

Everybody drawing custodes ladies with elaborate long feminine hairstyles and crazy intense makeup is insane. Have you seen the current custodes heads? They have the most dyke looking fucked up buzzcuts on earth broken up by 6 separate cybernetic skull ports, and the ladies would be no different. The only ones who even know what eyeliner is are in the Emissaries Imperatus shield host and would only wear it as an obscure means of communicating rank or authority in niche diplomatic interactions.

It occurs to me, looking through a bunch of DNI lists and carrds (although it has surely been observed before by others), is that what the people who make these want is not unreasonable per se. Rather, what they are asking for is unreasonable, because what they want is to not be using social media. They want to be using forums, or group chats, or instant messenger, or blogs; they want online communication spaces that are moderated, that are topic-specific, that are limited to existing/vetted members. And these this desire is not unreasonable, but it does not match modern social media.

And because so many of the people who make these seem so very young, I wonder how many of them even realize that spaces that do what they want can (and used to, and still somewhat do) exist, realize that social media can't do what they want it to, but that social media is not the only way for the internet to be.
