Kellri’s 18 Module Challenge – Epitaph

After losing my blog posts for Day 15 and Day 17, I stopped the modules challenge blogging for the moment until I work out a better writing process than losing posts an hour+ into them on the blogger interface. Here are my final selections:

  • Day 15 – A Module I Like Based on a Book or Film: Court of Ardor by Terry K. Amthor
  • Day 16 – My Favorite Gary Gygax Module: G3 Hall of the Fire Giant King by Gary Gygax
  • Day 17 – A Module I’m Saving for the Right Time: D3 Vault of the Drow by Gary Gygax
  • Day 18 – A Module from the Year I Began to Play: there are no modules I’ve played from 1977 (and few published—Tegel Manor is the only one that readily came to mind), so I went with Outdoor Geomorphs Set One: Walled City by Gary Gygax


I planned several follow-on posts that tied back to my various Runners Up selections, and a few additional categories that came to mind as variations on some of Scot’s themes, which I will return to

My thanks to Kellri for putting the challenge together!
