I got to watch some cool horror movies with my family. Got our Halloween decorations up (well, most of them) and We played some more Castle Amber Sunday night.
Had a moment of serious Deja Vu when running it too. In the "White Room" in the East Wing there is a D&D Expert set monster hiding out, a Frost Salamander. Now back in the day (much like today) we mixed and matched our D&D rules as we needed. Well back when I was a player and we went through this room I didn't have my D&D Expert book on me. I had just bought the PHB and we were running it as "pure" AD&D. Well AD&D doesn't have a Frost Salamander. Neither does D&D 5.
So in both cases we substituted a Remorhaz for it.
I know not a big deal. But for a bit I was transported back in time to when I was my son's age and doing what he was doing. It was very cool to me.
If you have not had a chance yet, head on over to Tenkar's Tavern to see exactly how not to act when someone is reviewing your kickstarter:

Very good example of what not to do.
Running old-school classics for my gamer group who never had the chance is one of the things I'm most looking forward to in 5e. Castle Amber was one of my all-time favorites. I wish I was in your game.
