My players have run through G1: Steading of the Hill Giant Chief and G2: Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl, and assuming everyone’s interested, G3 will lead to conversions of the D1-2-3 and Q1 modules as well. I’m currently running my 4th edition D&D conversion of the classic AD&D adventure G3: Hall of the Fire Giant King. Steamy (as if doused with water to put out the flames) I wouldn’t want to think about how slow it would have been if I were using the standard system for encounter design.įollow me on Twitter Luddite Vic on Twitter Aberrations Compared to most 4e D&D games, my Dungeon Crawl System moves very quickly.

All we got through was two combats, but they’re two of the longest combats in the Hall of the Fire Giant King, and we’re talking high-paragon level. These are creatures from the Far Realm, which is a plane of existence that’s unimaginably confusing, resulting in insanity relatively quickly for any that visit (and somehow survive that long). Last night’s game had an addition to the list (care of Luddite Vic) for Aberrations. In my post, Three Thoughts From Last Week’s Game, I presented a list of terms I use to substitute for “bloodied” (a term used in 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons for a creature who’s been reduced to half their full hit points). If you’d like the character builder files, just let me know. Zinethar The Wise Half-Elf Cleric (Warforged) Three, Warforged Hybrid (Artificer|Swordmage) These were created some time ago, and I’m no min/maxer, so you might want to make some modifications if you’re going to use them. I also took some liberties with the races of the characters for the sake of stirring the pot and updating to the modern gaming community. As 4th edition is often played with 6 characters, I created my own character, Three, which I’ve provided as well. I’m arranging to run my 4th Edition D&D conversion again, and that inspired me to post my versions of the pre-generated characters for that game in case my players, or anyone, wants to use them. Allen wrote it for the AD&D tournament at Wintercon VIII.

Any gamer that knows me well knows that Allen Hammock’s Ghost Tower of Inverness is my favorite RPG adventure of all time.
