Looks like an expensive doxy to me. What were you, Brandon?

I don’t have the legs for dresses. I’d be more Dr Winchester than Klinger.

Re: Old-fashioned dungeon crawl, anyone?
We have five players and a majority vote for B/X. Looks like we have ourselves a game. I won't close the recruitment thread just yet, in case we get any last-minute newcomers, but I will ask for a new forum to get us started. Paul, is this something I can ask you to do? Or should it go through Doug?
Our group and forum should have a name that reflects the fact that we're a bunch of (ostensibly) responsible adults aiming to recapture the joy and wonder of our initial gaming experiences as kids. I was thinking of calling it The Elder Statesmen's B/X Basement, though I worry that a word like statesmen is needlessly exclusive. Any suggestions?

Doug is your admin.

You could always go The BX BASEMENT. Or the Elders' Basement. Or just THE BASEMENT.tumblingdice wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 1:35 pmWe have five players and a majority vote for B/X.

Marketing guy in the house. Let’s go mysterious! Or add some old school module flair to it:
“THE B/X BASEMENT OF THE ELDER OSR KINGS!”
(I recommend reading that in Morgan Freeman voice...)

Re: Old-fashioned dungeon crawl, anyone?
Good suggestion! The (scary adjective) (geographic feature) of (unpronounceable proper noun) is a good template for module titles.
How about Dwellers of the Forbidden B/X Basement?
These are admittedly more AD&D than B/X in tone and style, but I won't rule it out

Re: Old-fashioned dungeon crawl, anyone?
I like "Dwellers." I second that, but I'd like to see you photoshop Rik's head onto a Yuan-Ti or Mongrelman. That'd take us over the top.tumblingdice wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 4:44 pmGood suggestion!

Re: Old-fashioned dungeon crawl, anyone?
Maybe toss in the word Esoteric? Really, you could add that word to just about any topic adding immediate intrigue; for example, dung, twinkie, dungeon, boogers, et al.

Hard to believe I get all these mad skills from marketing IT products, eh?
