Dungeon 148 Cookie :)

[damnitall22]

Well I just finished reading issue 148 and overall I was pleased. My favorite adventure was The Automatic Hound lots of good stuff in there. Spinecastle was good too but mainly because of the background stuff. Mainly however I loved Wells of Darkness and was surprised in a good way by the reference to Fall-From-Grace. I would never have thought to see that name again but in was a special treat to see it. Torment was a great game and I miss the days of Black Isle giving us some great roleplaying games. Thanks Paizo for a little nostalgia of the good times.

Yup, Automatic Hound was the shizz.

Yes, my thoughts exactly :)

Made me load up the Monster Manual, Savage Species, Player's handbook my character creation spreadsheet, and then stat up Fall From Grace :)

Perhaps I should look up the book of exalted deeds though too. Vow of chastity I guess should be appropriate.

Glad you liked Wells of Darkness and the Fall-From-Grace reference. Once I decided to include a visit to Red Shroud (who's probably the most heavily referenced Planescape NPC who's not a demon lord), it made sense to include a reference to her daughter.

Very much appreciated :D

I only wish there was more. If Dungeon was not about to die, I would beg for more, perhaps even have her as an NPC herself in an adventure.
Well of darkness is a cool adventure and I look forward to running it :)

Don't forget the reference to "The Stolen Power", a vintage Dungeon classic.

[damnitall22]

DOH!!! Somehow I caught the Fall From Grace reference and completely forgot Red Shroud... well guess I need to go replay Torment... be back in about a week... :)

Nice issue - especially Wells of Darkness.

Though, am I blind or is the key for the Black Gauntlet Taproom in Spinecastle missing?

The black gauntlet taproom's detailed in the adventure itself; it's the first location the PCs visit (and the location pictured in the opening illustration).

Okay, I've read through the issue of dungeon . . . but reading this thread I have to ask . . . Fall From Grace? Who the what now? Am I missing some inside joke? Please, can I be one of the cool kids and know the inside joke?

William, Falls-From-Grace was a player character in the late '90s computer game "Torment", which was inspired by the 2E Planescape campaign setting. IMO, it was the finest of the games from Black Isle. She was a good-aligned succubus cleric or something like that.
