Out on DriveThruRPG now!
I'll keep this short; DriveThruRPG is now offering The Magician's House and Lark Fantasy. Go get them because they are the products of a brilliant mind.
Here's the cover; some of the PD artwork out there is really cool
Hey, Ray! I've bought LotFP version of Magician's House and noted some typos and conversion errors in it. Where can I contact you to send the file with my notes in it?
Hi Zoid - first of all, thanks a lot and I hope you enjoyed the adventure. I suppose you could send direct to my email address associated with this blog. I have caught a few errors myself but I'm sure I haven't spotted them all - I'll probably put out another edition when I have a chance to sync all the changes across game versions (always the biggest pain of editing).
Oh yes, I've yet to run it, but what I've seen it should be a blast for players who like exploration of weird places. Also, I kinda feel dumb, but for the life of me can't see where the associated email is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oops, I just assumed the site would make that link available since it's all google and tied together. Anyway, just send to raymond.weidner@gmail.com. Thanks for being patient with my confusion.
Bought this on account of Bryce's review because I needed a wizards house for my campaing. One session in (playing DCC), and it’s already turning bizzare.
I changed the hook. The players are entering the house because they’re searching for the Rune of Creation – Ymae the witch has sent them here, she needs a way to animate her deceased husband (a former PC) and turn him into a flesh golem. She’s heard about Mordank, his golemic arts, and something about a “rune of creation”. (Can be found on the golem or in the library).
The players enter the house in full armor and armed (I asked, they confirmed). This makes the servant understandably nervous. They mutter something about “bringing refreshments” but the player’s don’t bite, they jump the servants and capture them. Also Lutz. All of them are bound and interrogated. Lutz threatens that Mordank will make them suffer but also says something in the sense of “maybe he’s just spending time in the garden”.
The party, dragging the captives, enters the hallway. I roll a random encounter! Another group of servants. They see the party dragging the captives, so some servants run for the guards. The players decide to run through the hall while opening all the doors. This quickly turns into a shouting match with some 20 goblins, including the chief steward and the captain of the guard. The soldiers are grabbing their weapons and chasing them but the party manages to run into the garden first.
They slam the door and the wizard casts Ward Portal, locking the door from the hallway and making it disappear for 120 hours.
But he forgots about his mercurial magic effects: everything in 5′ catcher fire. That means the hair and clothes of the rest of the party. His comrades, now burning, of course run directly into the faerie stream.
One character (a 0 level slaver) becomes the most beautiful man in reality, radiating an aura of unforgettable beauty… and the vanishes from reality forever.
One character (his slave, also 0 level) sprouts dragonfly wings but forgets the last 7 months, so he suddenly finds himself in a bizzare land, surrounded by strangers, and his master is nowhere to be seen. He’s flummoxed.
