At some point I switched from LotFp Carcosa to the AD&D modules, although I can’t remember why. Played using B/X rules but allowed AD&D classes

I think I posted like six blog entries in 2 years. I treated campaign write ups like short stories and it wasn’t sustainable.
But it was a fun campaign, started in Vornheim, ended in Carcosa via Yoon-Suin

I was just about to post how much I am enjoying these, when I remembered that I ran and blogged about a Carcosa campaign that was inspired by your posts back around 2016/2017, which I thought you might get a kick out of:

It is in trade (and there’s also a Miskatonic Special that’s a sequel to the mini/trade). It can be hard to find because Aftershock when into bankruptcy (which it’s now coming out of). I see there’s a few on Amazon
