Quote from: VectorSigma;584182I ended up with a copy of Cloudland in a bulk-vintage-stuff purchase, but I haven't read it yet.  Now I'm intrigued.

The maps are nice.  That's about it.

There is a superhero adventure available on RPGNow that shall remain nameless in which the entire premise is about a sewer dwelling supervillian blackmailing the city above with the threat of massive, city-wide toilet backflow.

And, before you ask, it's meant to be played straight.

When I think about it, almost all the Judges Guild Traveller adventures were stinkers...but the maps and other bits were useful.

As much as I love ToH (and the 4e version is nasty too), I have to agree that it inadvertently taught very bad lessons to many GMs.

Oh come on...you've got to spill! I don't want to buy that turd!

Concur. It sounds like that DM screen adventure did at least as much damage in a different way.

A Challenge of Arm's is a huge mess of words in a format that's WAYYYYY too long.

At the time I reviewed it I thought Smuggler's Bane was the worst module ever written.

Alphonso Warden learned the wrong lessons from Tomb of Horros and created several in the same vein. I STRONGLY disliked all of them, and his style. He gets the bonus points for having the most on my list AND also getting published/exposure by XRP ... all so he can beef up his writing credits for his fiction.

I would hate for people to get excited about the OSR and then run in to one of these crappy modules.

Criminy. And it has a grammar error in the title.

Quote from: Kaz;584253Criminy. And it has a grammar error in the title.

No, it has a pun in the title. You see, there is a thieves' guild operating in the city called The Hand, and its leader is called... The Arm. Which makes it so much better.















(it doesn't)

I'd probably agree, in my case, that it was some of the Dragonlance series. Those sucked.
