One of them was. A new player joined so I started her on the hooks as well. The 2nd level cleric, after seeing the iron automation bring down the 1st level fighter cohort to about -8 hit points in one hit, and the 2nd level warlock down to -3 I think, and after I project that I had rolled low, decided to go back into the room to try and rescue the warlock and got hit to exactly -10 hit points. And I allow levels 1 and 2 to have max hit points.
So now two of the party just got off the hooks and are deciding to go north or south out, and the other two are back at The Silvery Eel meeting the new PC.Hahaha!!! Welcome to Khromarium!

I had to start a side adventure I’m calling The Brazen Escape for the PCs that found themselves on the hooks 😂
Hahah!
On the bright side, you have your players hooked on your game.

First this adventure is fun. I’m running it as a play-by-post and after a couple days (RL) in the statue room, one of the party investigated the blood on the hand. Another party member dismissed it outright, called the cultists wackos and opened the door.
I can’t wait to write up my next post after work :DGreat stuff! Can't wait to read it.

Where there's ambiguity, I almost always use the player-advantageous intepretation because my tendency as a referee is already toward pretty tough situations. Tie goes to the runner!

Damnit, deathknight4044, I'm a banker, not an Atlantean crystal power plant super scientist!
Kidding! Thanks for the using the module and asking the question. Give me a few days to... consult.. the, uh, design plans.

I think of the underlying power as eternal and spanning all realities, but its manifestation across time, space and possible worlds as varying. Hyborians may say Crom, Hyperboreans may say Krimmr, for example. As a sort of Bermuda Triangle of legends, myths and realities, Hyperborea has some variants that may be familiar to us and others that may not be.

Might wake up roasting in a brazen bull, but otherwise sounds fun!
Small price to pay for a good time.

I personally would allow stowing weapons and casting spells in the same round if the caster didn't also try to move.
Exactly how I'd do it.

Hear the cry of war louder than before
With his sword in hand to control the land
Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night
Fall onto your knees for the phantom lord
If I ever write another module, I will weave in a phantom lord reference.

Big Vance fan, so I pledged this one too. I don't have the DCC rules, but I imagine I can pillage some cool material for my Hyperborea games.

Charnel Crypt would be great for a one shot. I'd also recommend Ghost Ship. I ran it at Gary Con a couple years ago, starting the party out in the desert just arriving at the site of the dungeon. The players were all brand new to Hyperborea and it went over very well.
Jeff ran Ghost Ship for some of us at Gary Con back in 2013-2014 or so, had an awesome time. It's a great one!

Hi all,
im thinking of running a one shot game at a local con in the UK later this year, especially as interest seems to have been sparked given the 3e Kickstarter. I’m guessing it would be mostly beginning players. Which of the published modules would people recommend - something that would fit well into a 3 hour slot.? A bit of research suggests maybe the Brazen Bull but I’d welcome any other suggestions.Welcome aboard, goat major. I think Charnel Crypt, Rats and Brazen Bull would all be great. I'm partial to Brazen Bull because I wrote it, but I have run Charnel Crypt and played Rats. All good choices. If you go with BB, let me know. Happy to help.

A few perks, nothing elaborate that derails anything.
