Why haven't I read The Gnomes of Levnec before now?
Why haven't I read The Gnomes of Levnec before now? I've got a one shot coming up and it's perfect. I think I'm going to run it in 5e with the pre-gens from the starter box.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar.

ReplyDeleteWas the “strange meteor” just something fun to put on the map? I have some ideas for it, but if it’s a reference to something else I’d take a look.
ReplyDeleteNothing written in that adventure, but I do so love to leave Easter eggs for future ones. But hey, how can you go wrong with anything you come up with for that?
ReplyDeleteYou really can't go wrong with it.
