I likes it!! Nothing like a fungus-filled, undead-hav'in, creepy dwarf to make your players say, 'ewwwww'. Is it the best entry? Probably not, but the body of work convinces me to vote in Sam's favor.

That made it hard for me to like this entry. It created a constant background hum in my mind as I read the entry; "What does this have to do with the Hellenistic Near-East?"

Your writing style is very good. However, I too suffered reading beyond the first parts due to the naming conventions. I guess my question for the author would be: So is this supposed to be Babylon meets Cthulhu?

Not that this would not be a fascinating mixture, just not my cup of tea.

More Conan than Cthulhu, but yeah that is kinda the point. I imagine Mr. Turgis Locker was going for a realm that would not be found in a standard campaign world. However, he wanted it to fit inside any campaign world. I have been gaming with Sam for years and it is a real joy to see what he comes up with... sometimes. Just knowing something like the Turgis Locker is somewhere in the campaign is simultaneous cool and very disturbing.

Judging by the "Top Five" thread, he has a good chance of going through (but keep voting for him, just in case). Trust me, you want him in the next round. His bad guys are always the highlight of any adventure.
