This is good work. Looks sharp too.

Some of the traps look fairly deadly in terms of the damage they do. That seems to be what you were aiming for though so no complaints here.

Here's another idea for a campaign using original FF gamebooks. I suppose it's obvious, but for a gothic horror, possibly in the vein( no pun intended honest,well maybe) of hammer horror how about Vault of the Vampire, Howl of the Werewolf, and Revenge of the Vampire add in a professor creating fle...

I suppose

Deathtrap Dungeon -> Trial of Champions -> Armies of Death

is already a pretty natural progression. In fact that has a very Conan the Barbarian vibe going on. Flip Deathtrap Dungeon to a team event and you are good to go.

I've been working on fleshing out a potential three story arc for an Advanced Fighting Fantasy campaign. My first plan is - Caverns of the Snow Witch -> Forest of Doom -> Temple of Terror In Caverns , the PCs begin as lowly caravan guards and get involved in stopping Sharreela's attempts at world do...

Hi all, I'm currently working on writeups for some of the classic bad guys from FF. I've started with Dungeoneer so here is Xortan Throg. I've expanded his background a bit and bodged up a couple of his more esoteric abilities from the book as arcane rituals. Feedback welcome. Warning! Spoilers belo...
