It’s been almost 40 years since I first brought a group of friends into The Castle Amber. Last night the grey mists swept in and the party awoke in an elegant foyer. Their hirelings and pack animals are waiting outside in the thin band of grass between the walls of the chateaux and lethal fog.

Rather than running this as a B/X we are using DCC for the mechanics and that has been a complete blast. The off the wall encounters and strangeness of the Amber family makes this such a fun adventure.

Why not break the boredom of centuries ensconced in a mansion by watching some unexpected guests wander around and get into trouble. Perhaps some family squabbles will be set aside (or resolved at sword point) by presence of these interlopers. At least it’s something new for the inhabitants.

For the adventures: adventures, riches, and really wild times. So far they’ve boxed, been blinded, and fought deadly slimes and oozes. I can’t wait to see what they do after lunch.
