 Oh man deep carbon observatory seems awesome. Has patrick stuart written more adventure modules? I dig his monsters but I really liked the whole atmosphere of that adventure - I've never read a module like that before.

Check out Veins of the Earth next.
Okay I bought this and started reading on the train...drat. This is a very different book but also exactly what I didn't know I wanted. I'm often pretty down on "big list of monsters" books but these are great and I'm only on the Cs.

I'd thought they did a pdf of that for a humble bundle at some point. Of course, the only way to get that now is :filez:, but I thought it did exist as a non-dead-tree format for a split second.
It's expensive and then I'd feel okay pirating the one that gives the bad rpg man money.

 Yeah PCs generally take up the role of an adventurer but that doesn't mean that every powerful wizard does so.

 I don't think anyone shows up to a dnd campaign expecting a kingdom management game instead of dungeon crawling/world saving/what have you. If they wanted kingdom management maybe they'd play a game designed for it where you do it from level 1.

 Cyclopedia is BECMI rather than B/X fwiw - not sure that makes a difference to you.

Patrick Stuart's writing is brilliant - deep carbon observatory might be my the best module I've read, though I haven't yet run it and can't review it from that perspective.

Hot Springs Island is a beautiful piece of work and it's a bit of a shame that I'm so late to the party and still able to buy the hardcovers. It should absolutely be sold out.
It seems daunting in what it leaves up the dm but also very cool. I play online primarily also so the one thing won't have the same impact, but I have been thinking about running this. Definitely post a trip report if you run it.
