Also, if that's the name that was going around I could see that being the name that it was remembered by among the populous. I could see there being a grander name for it, that may only be remembered by the most learned of sages, however.Restlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586442439173490257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-65326702799743660342008-10-05T21:54:00.000-04:002008-10-05T21:54:00.000-04:00@restless: Thanks!

As for the name, I'm still leaving it open for now. I'm waiting for the right name to "pop" for me. It might ultimately be named by the first party or parties of adventurers who enter and survive. "The Mad Baron's Burrow" was intended to be derogatory to the whole endeavor, so I'd prefer something a little more grand. Hopefully the adventurers will see that the complex is much more than just a "Burrow".Michael Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217338828086458862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-80581647141635183462008-10-04T23:28:00.000-04:002008-10-04T23:28:00.000-04:00Shoggoth?

I would hope you would publish it at some point, it sounds like a blast.<BR/><BR/>As for naming it, it seems to me that you nailed it already: The Mad Baron’s Burrow.Restlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586442439173490257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-50168212665629477292008-10-01T17:26:00.000-04:002008-10-01T17:26:00.000-04:00Well there is the section that I've been calling "...Well there is the section that I've been calling "The Lovecraft Wing" in my head for months now, but that's going to have to wait a few levels. I'm not sure how many Hit Dice a shoggoth has, but I'm sure it's not living next door to the kobolds.<BR/><BR/>I promise that one of the sub-levels off of level two is going to be Clark Ashton Smith by way of Robert E.

I can see gala ballrooms and labs of wonder but there is that ancestral darkness and stale madness that will set the goosebumps. Something "Rats in the Walls" going on in there, you better go first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
