Here we go. Attacked by a giant mutant frog. But what would life be without being attacked by one those? Boring! And when did Galumphs want to reach out and touch us? How about in 1992 with Tim Beach‘s Assault on Raven’s Ruin 9350. I have to admit, I didn’t crawl this one but I…

So, here’s one that I had to actually go back and look up as I didn’t have any recollection of them. And, now I know why. This particular nasty came from a competition module that I never played. This is from Allan Hammack‘s 1980 Dungeon Module The Ghost of Inverness C2 (9038). This module was…

What can we say about these things? They never ever look the same. I mean to some degree you could say that about any species as a whole, but not Boggles. These creatures are definitely weird and create a lot of havoc. Forget fire. With Boggles, use ice CREATIVELY! As far as I can tell,…

Welcome to Bob Blake‘s The Bane of Llywelyn C5 (9109) from 1985. This was an RPGA Network Official Competition Adventure! It was for 6-10 of your buddies, levels 4-7. It had some groovy new stuff in it. The war boomerang was awesome. But, so were the Viper Vines. These are great to use indoors are…

Oh, yeah! Doesn’t it feel good going all the way back to 1985. Coca-Cola announced it was changing its formula. Windows 1.0 hit the market. Blockbuster and Pap John’s Pizza were founded (I see a correlation there). And, the D&D module Baltron’s Beacon I7 (9152) was released. Not a bad adventure as modules go for…

Oh, this beauty is coming to get you. Think the Tasmanian Devil on crack. It first appeared in the Ken Rolston module The Lost Island of Castanamir C3 (9110) in 1984. Hot many hit points, but this little bruiser is a brute! And 4 attacks! If you’re a DM and want to make a stink,…

Death at the hands of a plant! You thought “Oh, this is is a nice place with shade. It’s not too hot. I can take a rest.” And BAM! Here comes some Jurassic flora to ruin your quest. Not just any any old wimpy flowers though. We’re talking Roundup defying, super hit dice, multi-tendril, acid-producing…

Whenever it comes to slime (especially the green stuff) I always think of the cans of the gunk you can get at Walmart. This one predates those and sets me heart racing. I loved this module when I was a kid! Gary Gygax‘s The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth S4 (9061) was a masterpiece for levels…

This one sound familiar, but I was wrong. I searched all of the manuals and folios but couldn’t find him listed. So, what have we got? The Cryptknight. First appearance in Lost Tomb of Martek I5 (9054) in 1983. This is the last module in the Desert of Desolation Series. As far as the Cryptknight…

So, let’s talk about the Memory Web. The first appearance of this particular VERY neutral monster was in the UK Module When A Star Falls UK4 (9120) in 1984. I like this one for use as a trap. It’s very rare and, while the No. Appearing says 1, there’s no rule that says I have…
