Chaoses Limb

A review of Last Stand at Outpost 3 from Dungeon Magazine 110.

For simple rule set to run Dark Sun adventures, check out Crimson Sun: https://minnonartor.itch.io/crimson-sun

A scene-by-scene review of the 2e Dark Sun adventure module the Forest Maker plus some of the changes I made to the adventure to better fit my own Dark Sun campaign.

Where I introduce Dark Sun to those who are not familiar with it.

I describe some unique aspects of the setting, discuss its origins, some controversies in its history and my own tweaks to the setting (YDSWV).

Frank from episode 18 sent out a survey to some of his students.  I share with you their responses.

The Goodman Games version of Before the Lost City is delayed at the printers.  Once it comes in, I will review it.

Just learned the 'true' origin of the cleric by listening to Dave Aldridge's DPercentile podcast, Ep 202.  Maybe it's old news to others but for me, mind blown.

What darkness lurks at the heart of the Ziggurat...?

This sounds like the title to a bawdy tale by Chaucer

“Dine with the masters and forget the slaves.”
― Pierce Brown

Though Slith had an experience of twenty years of theft, yet he said little; only if one of the others made a stone roll with his foot, or, later on in the forest, if one of them stepped on a twig, he whispered sharply to them always the same words: “That is not business.”

--Lord Dunsany

She would rather walk alone in darkness than follow anyone else’s shadow.

From rat's nest to zombie rat's nest to necrotic ooze

“It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.”
― Voltaire

I start reading Jon Peterson's Playing At the World

What may this mean.
That thou, dead corse, again, in complete steel,
Revisit'st thus the glimpses of the moon.
Making night hideous ; and we, fools of nature,
So horridly to shake our disposition,
With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?

--Hamlet

The more enlightened our houses are, the more the walls ooze ghosts

--Italo Calvino

The Guard Captain keeps lonely vigil...

The priest's on the boat and hell is on its way

--Portugal the Man

Lost in the desert, food and water gone, mounts dead ... then, rising from the sands, the cyclopean blocks of a lost city...

In Season 3 I plan to do an in depth exploration of the OSR module B4: The Lost CIty.

Call in on weapon damage in CL0e sparks a discussion

What happens if we apply reverse evolution to Chaoses Limb?  all sorts of craziness.

Trigger warning: those easily disturbed by hearing rules being mangled, spindled and mutilated may experience increases in blood pressure listening to this episode.

Note: no actual rules were harmed in the making of this episode.

The latest in my series of interviews with my brothers and former players.

Apologies for the sound quality on this one.
