Wandering Adventure Party

@Morgunin @Tim_Eagon yeah, I kinda regret letting all my old magazines go. But too many moves and not enough space...

@Tim_Eagon @Morgunin however -- I will also say that I looked into writing for them, saw that they claimed ALL rights in perpetuity at that time, and noped on out immediately.

@Tim_Eagon @Morgunin oooh I loved that magazine. That's where I first learned about filk. Good times.

@Morgunin @Tim_Eagon I remember being so excited about running the modules, they all sounded so cool. But yeah, none of them ever survived player contact, and I wasn't experienced enough to course correct.

So here's how old I am... I see the word "azure" and I always think of this #DnD module... #oldRPG #TSR

(If I recall, I tried running it as DM, and the players went so far off script I gave up).

Long ago and in a very different world....

I keep forgetting to post that I run a small bookstore, The Scribbling Lion, focused on small press and self published titles, leaning heavily into LGBTQ+ with a side of pagan. I rotate stock out frequently, and I take special orders for any title, big or small press, and I'm happy to help you search out the right book for a project you're working on!

Caveat: I am at a convention this weekend in North Carolina, so stock availability is not correct until probably Tuesday.

I'm reading @juergen_hubert 's books, starting with "Sunken Castles, Evil Poodles". His translation of German folklore to English, complete with commentary and footnotes, is utterly fabulous.

As someone who's read a lot of folklore books, across multiple cultures, I highly recommend "Sunken Castles" for writers and lovers of folklore alike. Solid research, notes on where the story is set in modern geography, great context, witty asides all make for a very engaging, inspiring read. The stories come to life from his carefully light, detailed approach.

This book is helping me create myths and folktales for my own fictional world. I'm having a blast reading it!
