The Cloudy Mountain

Previously, on AmigoNet... Back in 2017, I got the itch to introduce my people to Dungeons & Dragons. But since it's so, so, massively rules heavy, I searched online and found a very simplified version of it. I added some story, N&D loved it, and we were off. Mission accomplished!

Pretty much every year since then, I've added another chapter to the story. All of em based all on things I was into growing up. So, sort of an autobiographical adventure ya might say. Not about me, but featuring alot of my favorite things.

Thing is, I have alot of favorite things. So, alot of adventures/chapters to write. But only so much time to shape N&D. (Naomi's already reached part time status here) The solution? STEP ON IT!

Up first for 2025... Monster Slayers 8: The Cloudy Mountain
Based on the 1982 Intellivision video game Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
It is, to me, pretty much the killer-app for that console.
And an obvious choice to convert into a tabletop RPG.

Without spoiling anything, it's kinda two adventures in one! A longish play through, with alot of choices for the players.

The result? Many monsters slayed, one run away from from, one distraction created, one song sung, and one joke told. Good time had by all.

More adventures to come in '25.
