That night in '91 Melmoth the Damned was born, basically he was a sorcerer who'd taken on the pact of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melmoth_the_Wanderer">Melmoth the Wanderer</a>.

He gained his sorcererous knowledge from his demonic pact. Melmoth was a very 90's character grim dark, utterly Gothic, complicated, who had taken on the pact after saving his half sister & her child.

At the moment of waking, for some ineffable instant of time, the words we speak, or perhaps think we speak, seem to us full of illumination. To every one who speculates at all as to the heights and depths of the soul, there comes at very rare moments—there are not, perhaps, more than half-a-dozen such experiences given to any man's lifetime—the sense of the true world which lies beyond this dark place of images and shadows; a world that is full of light and glory, a world where all our dim desires are interpreted and fulfilled. It is as if we stood among shadows before a black curtain, as if for one moment a fold were caught back and we saw that which we can never utter: but never deny."<br /><br /><b style="text-align: center;"><span id="header_title_text"><a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Shining_Pyramid_(collection)" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-decoration-line: none;" title="The Shining Pyramid (collection)">The Shining Pyramid (collection)</a></span></b><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">by <span class="vcard" id="header_author_text" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-decoration-line: none;"><span class="fn"><a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Arthur_Machen" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Author:Arthur Machen">Arthur Machen</a><br /><br /><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgljrzyzH-SDNw7op6vA1lXg1rYah5ji9ltKgvdcqp-vqc0m4ixeS3vhBd5V2u2i_4OMJZWceHwXYRwouKG_AL_2gRvnf_Gp8zvBfhSTIySMAVGFyCTCmwhY8hWGF0SpvZLXnyjrWdTgTs/s793/rev301a_1024x1024.webp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="779" data-original-width="793" height="628" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgljrzyzH-SDNw7op6vA1lXg1rYah5ji9ltKgvdcqp-vqc0m4ixeS3vhBd5V2u2i_4OMJZWceHwXYRwouKG_AL_2gRvnf_Gp8zvBfhSTIySMAVGFyCTCmwhY8hWGF0SpvZLXnyjrWdTgTs/w509-h628/rev301a_1024x1024.webp" width="509" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.warmongerminiatures.com/collections/elves/products/rev301">The Foundry Elebor figure found here.</a><br /><br />The adventurers stopped & looked at the strange series of henges where they knew there were none mere days ago.

So they left me there, and I sat quite still and watched, and out of the water and out of the wood came two wonderful white people, and they began to play and dance and sing. They were a kind of creamy white like the old ivory figure in the drawing-room; one was a beautiful lady with kind dark eyes, and a grave face, and long black hair, and she smiled such a strange sad smile at the other, who laughed and came to her. They played together, and danced round and round the pool, and they sang a song till I fell asleep. Nurse woke me up when she came back, and she was looking something like the lady had looked, so I told her all about it, and asked her why she looked like that. At first she cried, and then she looked very frightened, and turned quite pale. She put me down on the grass and stared at me, and I could see she was shaking all over. Then she said I had been dreaming, but I knew I hadn't. "<br /><b style="text-align: center;"><span id="header_title_text"><a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_White_People_(Machen)" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-decoration-line: none;" title="The White People (Machen)">The White People (Machen)</a></span></b><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><i style="text-align: center;">by <a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Arthur_Machen" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Author:Arthur Machen"><span class="vcard" id="header_author_text"><span class="fn">Arthur Machen</span></span></a></i><br style="text-align: center;" /><span id="header_section_text" style="text-align: center;">The Green Book<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span><img border="0" data-original-height="779" data-original-width="793" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisxwbSXOwU_oDXvpbstFVOSgKkEq3jf35HLn1VRgB76cA-Q2bJ46TgC6A-9fyrK6HjE5zbcl29rq1uM29CIy5nsiOzLlRkfOMIPl-5UHVoiMpxxn1uhWSj4mwJAO0PfIrC2I1TQptl8ro/w400-h393/Lilith.jpg" width="400" /><br /></span></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span><a href="https://www.warmongerminiatures.com/collections/elves/products/rev301b-selebrae">The Foundry Lilith figure </a><br /><br />The Wildness series of <span>Judges Guild  adventures is the perfect  Wilderlands of High Fantasy campaign series of adventures to modify into a fantastic jump point for a Celtic Sword & Sorcery campaign.

Although there is a brief backstory about the korog and the original purpose of the Spire, very little of that comes into play unless the referee wishes it to do so. There are no essential encounters, boxed text describing your character's feelings about this eldritch place, or dramatic speeches by the Big Bad Evil Guy. What you get instead is an extremely well presented dungeon filled with weird magic and technology, clever traps, deadly monsters, and commensurate rewards. Yes, there's some great potential here for expansion. I can easily see using this module as the kick-off of an extended campaign involving the korog and their underground civilization, but, as written, the module makes no demand that the referee or the players be interested in such things. <span style="font-style: italic;">The Spire of Iron and Crystal </span>is thus a fine modern example of the <a href="http://grognardia.blogspot.com/2008/08/locale-and-plot.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;">location-based approach</a> to adventure design that gave birth to some of the best modules in <span style="font-style: italic;">D&D </span>history." </span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">For me this is going to be a perfect set up because of the dungeon's alien nature & over all weirdness. Its hard to really review it without giving too much away!

Already we' ve got plans for this dungeon to appear in a central part of the campaign axis so its gonna be a question of simply slotting it into the mix! And that's one of the best parts of a good old school module is the ability to slot it into an on going campaign. </span></div></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2020/11/review-commentary-on-matt-finchs-spire.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2020/11/review-commentary-on-matt-finchs-spire.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2020-11-25T09:52:00-08:00'>9:52 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2020/11/review-commentary-on-matt-finchs-spire.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=4975570788747593190&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=4975570788747593190&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=4975570788747593190&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

They went to bed that night. The next morning the entire population was dead. Slaughtered or suicide. Some of the deaths were extremely gruesome. Suspicion began with some type of gas attack by terrorists, but no evidence could be found to support this. It was inconceivable…until it happened again. At various locations around the world, the scene repeated itself. Since then, unexplained disappearances and phenomena have increased, as has seemingly pointless violence.</span></span><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Characters have suffered tragedy before the game begins. Through circumstances beyond their control (or not beyond their control), they have reached the nadir of their lives. Things couldn’t be much worse, until something not of this world tried to kill them, or something unexplainable happened, and someone was there to save them. To take them in and bring them back. A Mentor to train them and give them purpose again. The Mentor made them part of a group with other Disciples like themselves, called a Cabal. The Mentor also explained the truth of May 13; that on that night the barriers between Earth and Hell dropped briefly. The same occurred later in other locations, releasing an unknown number of Demons into the world."</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">That game was the basis for the Demonic Tome's setting & background both are written by Mr.Chandler.  But what does it tell us about the alien agenda of Juiblex itself?!
