Interest Check - B1: Search for the Unknown

Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

Jan 29, 2019 2:39 am
Dungeon Module B1: Search for the Unknown is an introductory D&D module from 1979. Anyone interested in experiencing what dungeon crawls were like back then? (Except for the unclear, inconsistent, or downright missing rules from the days of yore.) The monsters and game mechanics will be converted to 5e, but pretty much everything else will be the same for your first level characters.

If there's enough interest (3-6 players), I'll start this up in about a couple of weeks.

Thank you. If enough people are interested, I'll set up the game by mid-February and send you an invitation.

Count me in -- I own that exact module, but have never played it.

I found it while trying to organize some of my old stuff. I'll send you an invite when the game is ready.

Does that fighter have a patch (like a pirate) over his right eye or is he wearing Geddy Lee / Les Claypool style sunglasses? I prefer to think the latter, like he's too cool to be messing around with a bunch of fungus. I suspect he believes the wizard is a crackpot, the cleric a zealot, and the halfling a dishonest pickpocket, yet there he is, swinging is longsword around. And for what? A pocket full of gold and gems? He likely believes he really needs to re-think his life, but knows that now's not the time to be thinking about such things.

@Bulloctork You're on the list for an invite.

Three players. That's enough PCs to get going. Not enough to survive, but what the heck . . .

@Airickson Looking at the actual cover, it might just be some overinked shadowing. However, I like your explanation (and backstory) better. In fact, I am thinking of replacing one of the random magic items with magical "sunglasses."

I ran that game when it first came out. I started playing D&D in '78. Too bad I can't remember any of it but I'd love to play it again.

I've a buddy who may yet throw his hat in the ring.

Magic Sunglasses...you mean like They Live? That would be great.
