The one-eyed god wants YOU


Just going to put this out there. I'd love to join in myself, but I wrote the adventure in the first place.



If you want the "Previously on Dragon Warriors" bit, it's right here. And, by Hárr the High One, the latest installment is now online here.

  1. Bargain! If I didn’t already have them all I’d ounce on that deal... Off topic question about the missing bits that are in In from the Cold but not Cold Fury. I’ve read the description on Cobwebbed Forest but can you give a bit more colour to those adventures so I can figure out whether it’s worth trying to hunt down a copy and shell out a chest load of Florins for the book? Thanks

    1. To be honest, Nigel, I'd forgotten there was a book called Cold Fury -- or possibly I never knew it had superseded In From The Cold, as Serpent King Games don't send me copies of the books as James Wallis used to.

      From what I can tell on Cobwebbed Dragon, the missing bits are Dealing With Demons (which is apparently in the Players Guide?), The Temple of the Lost God (a reworking of my Tekumel adventure from White Dwarf #54) and The Key of Tirandor, Mike Polling's seminal two-part mini-campaign from WD #49 and #50.

      I probably don't need to remind you that Temple of the Doomed Prince appeared on this blog a while back, though this is the Tekumelani version, not the Legend one:

      The Key of Tirandor is available online if you look for PDFs of those two old issues of White Dwarf. They're out there somewhere as pirated versions -- just remember to virus-check the downloads!

  2. Thanks Dave... I must confess you did need to remind me... I’m off with cutlass and pistol to sail in search of pirate PDF treasure!

    1. Well that was easy... I see that part 1 of Key in issue 49 is preceded by an article of yours Dave dumbing down RQ for the masses...

    2. As I recall, that article drew a lot of irate letters. I intended it to encourage D&Ders to try RuneQuest, but instead it got a lot of RQ fans crying sacrilege.

    3. I do remember The Key of Tirandor with great affection, though. Oliver Johnson, Mark Smith, I and several others were in that campaign as a group of squabbling rivals who developed a kind of grudging friendship through the challenges they faced together.
