In my searches, mostly for books written by Gary Gygax, I found Dangerous Journeys. While the game system was terrible (sorry, it is) I loved the background fluff. So much so that I add his Ægypt to my own world. I read the Dangerous Journeys and Mythus version of Necropolis many times over. I even finally got my own copy (which I frustratingly can't find right now!!).
It became a central part of my desert region, the Deserts of Desolation and Death, and merging it with bits of Dark Sun is has become the capstone adventure for my Second Campaign. Though instead of using the DJ version I am using the d20 version from Necromancer Games, published some 20 years ago. I should note that The Mystical Trashheap blog has a nice conversion of the DJ version to AD&D.
So imagine my excitement when Fog God launched their newest Kickstarter!
Necropolis: An Epic Adventure in the Desert Sands

So this is for 5e and S&W. While both are nice, it is the 5e version that I am going to use the most since the Second Campaign is a 5e game. Since it is the capstone I am going to have to make it a bit deadlier. I am just not sure if I need the hardcover version since I want to print it out to write notes on. BUT I also don't want that wear and tear on my printer.
Delivery is scheduled for the end of the year, so that works fine for me, even if it is a little late.
I just need to figure out which level to pledge at.
arg ive been hunting it now this
ReplyDeleteracial types in Dangerous Journeys pretty horrific and dated then
Yeah. They really were. I had forgotten about that. Still can't find my copy, my son said it was on the gaming table.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that Frog God fixes what was in this particular book. They do say they are rewriting a lot of it.
We did update it to reflect concerns we had (they were the same as yours).
