Ok, I think I would like to run through this bad boy again, except I will be on the other side of the screen this time.  We can do PbP here, or and IRC channel.  The plus side to IRC is pacing, but the downside is the scheduling.

QuoteThis module has been designed for a party of 6 to 10 characters,
between the 3rd and 6th levels of experience. The total of the
party's experience levels should be from 26 to 34, with a total of 30
being best.

Considering the character levels required, this will probably be best as a one-shot.  Levels determined by how many sign up, possibly a henchman or two to round out the level requirements.

I got one nibble, anyone else interested?  I will be using 1e or OSRIC instead of Expert.

Six players, 4th or 5th level...  You know you want to...

I only have OSRIC to hand, so i'd be up for that.

OSRIC should work.  We ran through it with 1st edition when I was a lad, and it wasn't a problem.  Cutting and pasting from the pdf of the module will speed things up as well.  

3d6 in order, 3d6 and choose or 4d6 dropping the lowest?

4d6, drop low, arrange to taste.  If you want to tweak a bit more, you can shift points on a 2:1 basis.

I'll whip up a character then and post both 4th & 5th level versions.

Excellent.

Starting money? Are you allowing weapon specialisation or double specialisation? Hit points as rolled at first level? Before 3e, we used to give average hit points at first if you rolled lower than that (it only makes a 2 hit point difference to my character, but i thought i'd ask!)

I'm a dwarven fighter, btw.

Take max hit points and gold at first, roll hit points for the rest.  Double specialization is fine, I can boost the monsters if I need to.  If there aren't enough players, it will help keep things even.

Look, I am offering to run the 15th greatest module of all time!

Only OHT has taken up the call?

Speaking of, did you ever find that pen I inquired after?

Quote from: StormBringer;248989Speaking of, did you ever find that pen I inquired after?

Not yet. I'll be picking up supplies from the biggest local stationary supplier near me, soon. I'll have a look around. If it's not there, i'll see if they can order it.

I appreciate it.  Don't put yourself out, though, with the way the postal service works, it may take a bit to get an international money order to you.  If you get a chance, see how much they want, I will send over the currency and we can go from there.
