Would there be any interest in some old school Dungeons and Dragons, probably in the Saturday evening slot?
For the GW connection I am thinking of running either one of the following:
Option a) Dungeons of the Ground Goblins, a promotional dungeon created by Steve Jackson. It featured in some early magazine articles and promotional flyers, and at some point seems to have been slipped into some of the early box sets sold in the UK. This was before the first Basic set or Advanced D&D, so would be run with the original rules. For ease I would not be using the Greyhawk etc expansions or Chainmail, and using a strict word as written interpretation (which has some unusual effects). It is not a particularly exciting dungeon, and requires some additional work to finish it off - but it does have the distinction of being the first scenario Games Workshop produced for anything.
Option b) Albie Fiore's The Lichway. White Dwarf's first Dungeons and Dragons scenario. A much more interesting dungeon, but may not be finished in the limited time slot available - though as this is very much a looting expedition I don't think that matters overmuch. This would be run with either the first Basic set of rules written by Holmes, or first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. As well as being the first full scenario for anything published by Games Workshop, it also has the distinction of (supposedly) being the first scenario that Terry Pratchett played.
So, is there any interest in either of these options? Let me know and I'll get something booked.
