During highschool around 1985 I ran a campaign of Ad&D based off the Narnia saga(all seven books) with additional material from the beatles magical mystery tour album and sgt peppers for characters and locations.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds was really a evil night hag with magical diamonds for eyes. Whom control a demiplane see song for details. the place was ruthlessly evil.
Strawberry fields the players had to dig things up, Fool on the hill was a mad druid that cast spells at random to all whom approached. I can't recall anymore but we played in that scenario for six months/it filled 5 -5subject notebooks and was in itself a Adventure path!
After that I designed the Wand of Asmodeus or rod. The adventure was for 12th-16th charcters. The party ended up inside the wand of Asmodeus which had a series of chambers that had to bypassed to escape.
The chambers of the rod/wand-had traps deadly-Pits contained pit fiends, the center of the wand had a midnight garden of evil(i.e it was always midnight there-All encounters were random and to move 10'ft was like moving a 100'-you could enocunter anyone of dukes of hell there. pit fiends as well and other monsters of random dungeon encounter chart.
the last room of the dungeon had a ancient blue and red dragon which related to the powers of the rod of Asmodeus. my players were droppng like flys everyone kept pulling out characters to run through it. We played all day sat-saturady night until sunday afternoon like 2 pm it was like 18 hours of pure fun,
in the end 12 charcters died three lived.
