Seriously psyched for this one after hearing Ghul talk about the premise with captcorajus.
So far ive gathered: Orks, dæmons & a lone keep astride a blood-red river in an uninhabitable zone.
I will be running this the day It comes in.

Mulling over running "The Isle of Dread" in Hyperborea, with heavy modification:
I suspect an avatar of cthulu or kulk-xu is going to take the place of the kopru.
I plan to include a werebat attack from the cliffs ala "voyage of king eurovan".
Anybody else run such a game?
Any suggestions?

"That" scene was dreadful! Havent beens so shocked by a film since a girl I dated brough home "tusk" thinking it was a comedy.

I really dig the helm of the kracken! I ran a PC death soldier, devotee of Kracken that had a similar squidfaced helm-- would have been nice if it had such epic powers

Yggsburg is back in print. Apparently some arm twisting is in progress to attempt restart the Castle Zygag line.
I watched a couple interviews with the TLG team and they mentioned Gary had named Ghul the head honcho on the project back in the day-- they also said they'd likely try to reach out to him for advice should the legal arm twisting prove successful.

It went very well; they loved it. My players are quite clever, very strategic and they brought a stable of hirelings to die on their behalf. I could see a less well prepared group having some difficulty though.

Ive run "sailors on a starless sea" for a level 1 party.
The chaos lords are discribed as hyperboreans-- dungeon contains a shrine that is a clear reference to the shrine of xathoqqua from "tale of satampra zeiros". Some ideas are pilfered from the greyhawk "moat house" and the "temple of tharazdun". just swap the monsters & treasures for their near equivalent in Hyperborea.

A dungeon crawl inspired by "the seven geases" would be pretty interesting, no?

HYPERBOREA 3E » Ogl? » 1/10/2023 10:18 pm |
But they were, all of them, deceived, for another OGL was made. In the land of Seattle, in the fires of WotC, the Dark Lord Williams forged in secret a master OGL, to control all others. And into this OGL she poured her greed, her malice and her will to dominate all TTRPGs.
ONE D&D

Hyperborea is by far my preferred system for fantasy roleplaying-- even when I run AD&D Waterdeep/Undermountain. Now I use Hyperborea as the core game & hack in a homebrew "race as class" system for Elves, Dwarves & Halflings. also converted to ascending AC. can't be the only one right?
General Discussion » Using Reincarnated from Goodman » 1/09/2023 3:39 am |
When I ran Goodman's "Into the borderlands" I used the AD&D 2e monstrous manual to fill in the gaps for monsters I did not choose to replace.
