John Hanna plays Dark Lord’s Doom, by David Pulver, as a GM’d adventure instead of as a solo at GaryCon 2022.
This isn’t the first time it’s been done as a convention adventure, and for low-prep, high-reward fun this one and Dragon Hunt! both play well as GM’d adventures. Dragon Hunt! in particular was brutal during playtest even with multiple 38-point PCs, so tuning it to a full table of lower-level adventures might work out as well!
+Lowell Francis over at Age of Ravens threw down a mighty post: “33 Things I Want From Combat As a Player.” I read them, and had thoughts. I will share them, because that’s what I do on this blog. This is the final part of a three-part response. You can find my comments on the first 11 of…
A week makes a big difference, and a lot happened in the past 7 days. So here’s the progress report for the week ending May 7! The biggest stuff that was on my formal to-do list: Look at the skald spells and ensure they’re in the spells list. Check the new spells from the added…

From Grappling with Grappling Rules GURPS. Made worse by the incredible number of factors that GURPS has to account for. Of course the other tactical combat are just as complex and anyone who can use those on the fly wouldn’t be too concerned by the grappling rules. Fourth Edition isn’t so bad; grappling is taken as an…
We started out remembering that we had some magic items to divvy out, since last time we forgot to distribute the freakin’ Ring of Zombie protection. There were lots of dead undead (?!), and a human figure with a wooden stake driven through the visor of his helmet. The mail is decent quality; this guy…

Both excellent choices. Dark Lord’s Doom is a small squad adventure where you can bring the unit up to strength, after losses, with recruits. (Looks like the bridge holding action in the picture, which is great fun.) And tackling the toughest monsters in Dragon Hunt was difficult even with three powerful characters.
