In reply to Ron Knowling. Thanks for listening Ron! I've got a few more episodes recorded that I need to find time to edit. Hopefully somebody will pick B2 at some point in the future because I agree that could be a really good one to cover.

Great podcast! I’ve always had a special place for Hommlet in my campaigns. It’s an interesting and as you point out dynamic location. It’s also nice that as you point out, Hommlet doesn’t care if the players show up or not. I’d love to hear you talking about “Keep on the Borderlands”.

In reply to HeyItsGilbert.

Oh weird, the footnotes didn’t post! Footnote 1 was: “I used a random name generator for this.”

Footnote 2 was a bit longer, and reads: This card says “Pull from the tower. Do not replace this block at the top of the tower – remove it from the game instead.” I don’t know if this actually makes it more likely that the tower will fall, but I’ve always felt like it *feels* like it does. So I rolled two tower pulls for this card, to sort of simulate that.

“Flight Engineer Taylor Windsor[^1]” I am so curious what this footnote is supposed to be!

In reply to Starmonkey.

It is unfortunately! We played a few more sessions that I haven’t written up but the campaign petered out, as these things do.

That said I’m about to start running a new campaign so I’ll try and write similar session reports for that once it’s up and running. I’m really glad you enjoyed them!

Hi Chris, is this the last MB session report? They’re fantastic, I’m hoping there are more to come…

I really like the mix of concise fiction and GM musings. Chefs kiss mate.

These old modules are always so dense with text. I’m glad module design for the most part has tended toward a more streamlined approach. When I gm I do fully homebrew modules partially because I dont know how to digest all of the text to run the modules..

Great review! I look forward to seeing more of them (and maybe actually running a module).
