Its Day Two of OSR Christmas. Before we get to today's festivities, let's find out who is the recipient of yesterday's awesome gift.I would do a drum roll but that doesn't work so well on a blog post. Oh well.
+Wayne Humfleet - congrats. Email me at tenkarsDOTtavern and we'll get you hooked up.
Now for today's gift. WG5: Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure (1e), written by Gary Gygax and Rob Kuntz, its part of OBS recent TSR Era POD offerings.
Four great and powerful heroes travel in search of adventure. Led by Mordenkainen, wizard without peer, they have come to mysterious Maure Castle, a forlorn and foreboding place, source of wonderment and awesome adventure, following a strange and terrible story.
For, somewhere deep beneath Maure Castle, from whence no person has returned alive, there stand two massive iron doors -- doors without latch, lock, or handle -- the Unopenable Doors.
And if the doors are opened, what then? Such potent evil, such terror lies beyond, that even the bravest adventurers may quail before the ultimate test!
Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventureis a challenging adventure for high-level play. Four original characters from Gary Gygax's famous Greyhawk campaign are included for your use.
Can you meet the challenge? Can you survive what lies beyond ... the Unopenable Doors?
An adventure for characters level 9-12.

ReplyDelete1e will always be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome! Next year in Greyhawk.
ReplyDeleteOpen Sesame!
ReplyDeleteI've never played or read that module.
ReplyDeleteThat looks fun!
ReplyDeleteYay! OSR Day 2!!!
ReplyDeleteMaure Castle actually had more pull on me than anything else in Greyhawk...
ReplyDeleteAh, one of the TSR items I haven't gotten my hands on yet. OK, there are a lot of them, but still...
ReplyDeleteDalt god of doorways was my favorite
ReplyDeleteCool, I'm aware of the adventure but I've never actually read it.
ReplyDeleteA good adventure, to be sure!
ReplyDeleteGotta love the old 1st edition modules ;)
ReplyDeleteMy local Half Price Bookstore wants $50 for this, I believe. Awesome loot!
ReplyDeleteI cast Mordenkainen's Faithful Post Comment.
ReplyDeleteHaha!

ReplyDeleteGrrrrawr! This nonsense of "adventurers" thinking they can defeat me must come to an end! The middle must be mine, that I may destroy their chances!! After all, that useless Tomorast is a complete failure...
Greyhawk is my jam. I'm painting some of those old Ral Partha Anti-paladins into Warduke right now.
ReplyDeleteI also love Oerth and Greyhawk. I would like to see a picture of your minis when you when you are finished painting them.
DeleteThat's a fun one! I'm definitely curious to see the quality on these reprints in person.
ReplyDeleteMaure-velous! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite modules.
Back for round 2.
ReplyDeleteFantastic? How can I pass up a module that says "Fantastic" in the name?
ReplyDeleteGood luck everyone!
ReplyDeleteOMG, so much fun, unless the insane Druid you just met starts yelling "Kerzit, Kerzit, Kerzit!" a mere five minutes after meeting the rest of the party lol.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'd love to win this one!
ReplyDeleteTime for the old Classics to become new again!
ReplyDeleteThis would be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteKerzit kerzit kerzit kerzit!!!! Loving this.
ReplyDeleteI'm in like Melf!
ReplyDeleteMerry OSR Christmas!

ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteOne of the classic old-time modules.
ReplyDeleteOne of my old faves.
DeleteWG5 a fantastic adventure :)
ReplyDeleteYay. OSR christmas rocks.
ReplyDeleteGot to love a guy who starches his collar that much.
ReplyDeleteOn the second day of osr-mas a cool guy got for me...
ReplyDeleteI'll toss my hat into the ring.
ReplyDeleteCount me in for this one please !! .. Hopefully we see some Judges Guild stuff pop up on days 3-12 !! I hear Bad Mike ships fast !!
ReplyDeleteSorry teachers I could not think of a sentence with the word "kerzit" in it.
ReplyDeleteThank you
1e <3
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! I too would love to see how the POD looks with the oldies but goodies!
ReplyDeleteHave heard great things about this module, but never read or played it yet.
ReplyDeleteYour mom had a fantastic adventure!
ReplyDeleteYes, please! :)
ReplyDeleteMy collection demands I win this one :D
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm... OSR POD Goodness. I'm IN!
ReplyDeleteIt is said Mordenkainen's stocking is a portal to a hobby shop in the 90s by the role playing nook. Some of the nerds then would often find beloved treasures there whIle their moms bought knick-knacks.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm in. Great adventure. I wonder if the PDF fixed the upside-down map?
ReplyDeleteI always read that as "mauve" castle, for some reason.
ReplyDeleteNice! I never had this one back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! Thank you and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Wayne! And yeah, I'd love to get a copy of this :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck everyone (but I hope I win)!
ReplyDeleteOld time classic ;-)

ReplyDeleteA great prize!
ReplyDeleteI remember I owned this back in the day, but aside from the "Gary's Campaign PCs" stat blocks, I don't think I ever read it. Might just have to do that at some point...
ReplyDeleteOooooo Greyhawk!
ReplyDeleteA blast from the past! Happy holidays!
ReplyDeletemerry christmas!
ReplyDeleteJust in time for my birthday, which is the 15th!
ReplyDelete=]
Nice! And congrats to the winner for yesterday's gift!
ReplyDeleteOld school goodness.
ReplyDeleteSurvived this one years ago, would love to be on the DM side of the screen!
ReplyDeleteCount me in.
ReplyDeleteLove this one! Congrats to Wayne Humfleet! I hope Shrouded Fen gives you some joy.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting!
ReplyDeleteBeware the golem!
ReplyDeleteAny old school content is good content. :)
ReplyDeleteA most excellent module. High level Greyhawk for the win!
ReplyDeleteI need to get my Players back to Greyhawk.
ReplyDeleteThey've always wanted to be buried, along those pleasant hills.
This appears to be exactly how I can accomplish this.
Looks awesome!
ReplyDeletePowwww ...
ReplyDeleteOdlschool Greyhawk meets POD? yes!
ReplyDeleteOne of the main reasons this module is a nice one to have is the fact it applies a very Vanceian approach to the wizard in questions mindset. Besides who can deny wanting to play an adventure that from the intro gave the great gamemaster himself difficulty.
ReplyDeletecouldn't be better than this one =]
ReplyDeleteRaises hand (and stalks around nervously eyeing the other people commenting)
ReplyDeleteYes please!
ReplyDeleteMerry OSR Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLove me some Greyhawk! Never read this module. :)
ReplyDeleteI played in this ~30 years ago. I remember having a good time with it.
ReplyDeleteI got lightning shooting from my fingertips!
ReplyDeleteThis would be cool to win!
ReplyDeleteNice mod.
ReplyDeleteI love that they are offering these again. Keeping my fingers crossed for more basic rule books and modules in particular! Thanks for the contest, Erik!
ReplyDeleteFaaaaantastic.
ReplyDeleteMerry OSR Christmas, again!
ReplyDeleteSo commented!
ReplyDelete1E under the tree please:-)
ReplyDeleteCool.
ReplyDeleteI love Greyhawk.
ReplyDeleteAlways wanted to try Greyhawk
