Advice for folks writing modules

1, Note which supplements you are drawing content from in the introductory notes.

2. Mark which items/abilities/rules you are using that are not in core, preferably with which book they're from.

3. Include core-only recommendations, barring that at least reprint the statlines only of content found in hard to find or expensive books.

4. Include a statline roundup in the back of the module, proving a full character sheet for each NPC/Monster/Vehicle the party is likely to fight in the module.

New Campaign

It's been quite some time since I've played BX with anyone but randies off of /tg/ or roll20. None of the players in my usual group have experience with BX and a few of them have bad impressions of the old school D&D in general. One even has an irrational hatred of descending AC.

Here's hoping I do a good job introducing them. Wish me luck!

The ambush was really good, Crispin the magic-user used his sleep spell to take out most of the hobgoblin's personal guard. The elf, thief and cleric used missile weapons to pick off the goblins carrying the chest, then the hobgoblin rushed the cleric who whacked him right good in the had knocking him from full to 1 hp in a single hit. I had him check morale right away and he decided to run for it cursing in goblin "fuck this, its not worth it". The treasure was nice. All of the coin and gems they'd stolen over the last cou...

If you're wondering....

 The radio silence lately is because I'm not running a game, prepping a game, or (sadly) in a game as a player right now. I've had a few false starts trying to join games, mostly OSR or (natch) 5E, but all of them have either fizzled after a session or two or just never got out of the DM going "we'll be playing soon!" anyway, I have been doing a thing tho https://dungeonpunk.fandom.com/wiki/DungeonPunk_Wiki My homebrew system has its own wiki now For someone who loves classic D&D, the system I made is not classic D&D. It's a strange middle ground and I love it. Please take a look.
