- Sail down the River Running (Celduin) into the heart of Dorwinion, home of the heady wines that Elves love so much. Take on Giant Spiders, Orcs, Gargoyles, a Werewolf and even a Cold Drake in six adventures.
I have used bits and pieces of this module. It has a lot of useful encounters and ideas.
I wish I had used it. Somehow it just never made it's way in the group.
I have fond memories of these adventures. So nice that they arenot forgotten. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I loved playing these adventures, the maps and the non-canon histories they provided.
We enjoyed this; my players really liked the gargoyle adventure. The werewolf one was okay. I had forgotten the cover was Larry Elmore. He was the big TSR artist of that era.
I didn't realize Elmore did art work for TSR. That's good that you enjoyed playing this one. I wish I had tried brought it out for a group to try.
Honestly if that dragon is like the ancient one near Angmar, a party level 7-10 will be breakfast I think. If the dragon has a breath which lasts three rounds like that other dragon. Burp.
Good review, I miss I.C.E.
Good point, I forgot that there was one in the Angmar Campaign module. I was thinking it would be more like the Rain Drake from Shadow in the South or Corlagon in the Dunland book.
I didn't know that this module exist until a couple months ago. I was scanning through the Trove and saw some MERP products that I didn't know of. Back in the day, I had to drive 50 miles to get to the only gameshop that I knew of. And when the Gameshop closed I lost my only connection with retail RPG's. I just don't remember it being in any of the ICE catalogs.
Your right this wasn't in any MERP Catalogue that I had seen. The only Iron Crown catalogues that i had seen were from 1987 and 1997 (I still have them). Never had to go too far to get to a RPG store. I used to go at least once a month to see if there were any new releases which is how I found this one,
I bought this module after our MERP group had been disbanded for some time, so couldn't play it but thought it was a good solid module. I didn't realize the artwork was from Elmore, I remember his artwork from my very first roleplaying books (D&D). I liked the introduction of Gargoyles in the module. Thanks for the rundown Roman. By the way were you a player or GM when playing MERP?
I was more of the GM as I ownerd all the books. Which kind of sucked at times.
I have this one but never ran it. What bugged me was the lack of an area map in the module I think the back cover shows part of an area map from either the Sea of Rhun module or one of the newer versions of the Mirkwood modules.
Your Right. The back cover shows a small shot of the map area but your right there is no area map. The closest thing is the chase adventure to rescue prisoners from Orcs. That adventure has a map of the area of the East Bight and Eastern Mirkwood but doesn't match other maps.
"Someone named Elmore" 😄 - Yeah, never heard of him; what a loser.
Now you made me look him up. Mostly D&D and Heavy Metal artwork which is pretty cool. The cover art for River Running must have been a bad art day for larry because it's pretty lame compared to his other work.😂
