Return to the Tower of Zenopus
Return to the Tower of Zenopus
As I wrote in my last post, this weekend marks 40 years since Origins III in 1977, the first known public release of the Holmes Basic Set. How I am celebrating?
Well, first off - my contributor copy of Tales of Peril arrived, and I opened it up late last night. Its a beautiful book. More on that later.
Im thinking about a Holmes-inspired game Id like to run at Gary Con next year. One idea Ive had is a Return to the Tower of Zenopus. This would be set 40 years (naturally) after the events of the original when the smugglers were defeated and the dungeon entrance was sealed. Lady Lemunda is now the ruler of the town and trouble is stirring in the old dungeon. I would re-stock the dungeon using material from Maze of Peril, due to the thematic similarities. The pre-generated characters would be Boinger, Zereth & Murray (drawing from their character sheets in Tales of Peril) plus Hortensa, Geoffrey, Brother Ambrose, etc.
