Review of A Thousand Dead Babies by Zzarchov Kowalski

I've never written a review of a module before.  I guess that's the sort of thing that blogs do, though.

+Zzarchov Kowolski was kind enough to give me a pdf of his adventure, A Thousand Dead Babies.  It's a low level adventure for the OSR (and it includes stuff for compatibility with Neoclassical Geek Revival). It's short--20 pages including front and back--but packs a lot into those ~17 pages of content.  The more I reread it, the more respect I have for it.

All Your Questions Will Be Answered

D&D 40th Anniversary Blog Hop Challenge


Troll and Flame did it: http://trollandflame.blogspot.com/2014/01/d-40th-anniversary-blog-hop-challenge.html

So did Swords and Dorkery: http://mikemonaco.wordpress.com/2014/02/01/dds-40th-blog-hop/

And Dyson: http://rpgcharacters.wordpress.com/2014/02/01/dungeons-dragons-dyso-28-questions-answers/

NOW I WILL DO IT.

I've never done one of these before, but I'll do my best.  Let me know if I go off topic or ramble or something.  

1. First person who introduced you to D&D. Which edition? Your first character?
I want to run a game where I put stats on everything.  HP, AC, attacks.  Like, at the most fundamental level, this would mean that the barbarian could dispel an enchantment by hitting it with his axe.  But it would also apply to other things.  Kill a fire by shooting it with wooden arrows?  Fine.  Destroy a child's sense of wonder?  Okay.  Attack the darkness?  YES.  Killing someone's civil liberties?  Check.
Basically, it's a one-button video game, and you can solve any problem by (a) identifying what you need to kill, and (b) killing it.
