At best it'll be something I'll want to run for my group. <br /><br />My enthusiasm has certainly fallen off over the years, but I'm glad to be getting a book. I really appreciate the work put in by people to see that the KS is finally fulfilled. And I still can't be too upset with James Maliszewski given how much his blog did for my gaming and getting me interested in the OSR. Heck, I still reference Grognardia for my games.

In Low Thulian (Common) it reads “I explored Dwimmermount and all I found was 2,000 lousy coppers - Sir the Fist”. An arrow points downward to the rubbish containing the coin sack."<br /><br />Alexander went and made the entries longer. He spent a lot of time smoothing out the conceptual links between levels and making all the "mythology" consistent.<br /><br />There is some cool shit scattered along this massive document. I'm not sure the material is all that well served by the format, which is like a really, really long TSR module. I remember back when we were all talking about megadungeons six years ago or so, and none had really been published, that I thought a dungeon like this would be better off just detailing the cool parts and having no detail at all for the normal rooms - just a listing of contents and some tables to generate detail. Stonehell was closer to this in practice, with its ultra-minimal key and two-page spreads to expand on a few rooms per quadrant.<br /><br />At a glance, Alexander's changes are not going to change the minds of people who didn't like James's original draft of Dwimmermount. It's still a whole lot of vanilla. For people who did, I think it will improve the depth of the book, although I'm less convinced that it makes it more playable.Wayne R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04118962136054206381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-29842015206690981492014-04-27T19:53:02.053-04:002014-04-27T19:53:02.053-04:00he's still around on G+ - if you are his frien...he's still around on G+ - if you are his friends listTenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-26639692564165021172014-04-27T19:51:47.074-04:002014-04-27T19:51:47.074-04:00I may be late for this - but what really happened ...I may be late for this - but what really happened to James Maliszewski, does anybody know?M.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13131231376903816006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-57275646001649673982014-04-27T19:44:07.788-04:002014-04-27T19:44:07.788-04:00Looking forward to owning this controversial piece...Looking forward to owning this controversial piece of OSR history! :)Greg Gorgonmilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397374629757817360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-6224171847409468942014-04-27T19:22:08.590-04:002014-04-27T19:22:08.590-04:00Here's hoping it's everything we had origi...Here's hoping it's everything we had originally hoped it would be.Greyhawk Grognardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929743865700766901noreply@blogger.com
