Tyrion Lannister has been transported out of Westeros by some unknown power. He has been teleported not just through time and space, but also out of dimension, out of fictional canon… into the Moria Reclamation Project! He doesnt come alone, he has companions from other surprising and unlikely places. What fantastic adventures are bound to happen with the coming of these latest arrivals.

Narrator: You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead – your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

Onwards to pics, fluff, and a skirmish! I wont be using Warhammer 1st edition here. Will you be able to guess which rules Im using, just from the descriptions?

Tyrion and Podrick

Tyrion – Lived in some squabbly gossipy land far to the west. In this land, he was pretty much the only Dwarf around. He is also called the Imp, Halfman, and his favorite – the Demon Monkey. For reasons unknown, he has been magically teleported to Moria. He has also acquired the services of some really savage looking barbarians. He once told someone that a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone. You know nothing, Jon Snow!

Podrick – A simple and loyal boy who squires for Tyrion. Apparently, he is a big hit with the ladies.

Crom and Beowulf

Crom the Barbarian – An old king from Hyperborea before the time when the oceans drank Atlantis. Some worshipped him as a god who waged war against the Giants. He also knows the "Riddle of Steel". He has agreed to follow Tyrion because he believes that the Dwarf's destiny is to become a meal for the Giants. When the Giants show up, Crom intends to slay them after they have had their feast.

Beowulf – Word has it he killed monsters and their mothers in the icy north, became a king, and killed a giant dragon. It is said, he continued hunting monsters and dragons in neighboring lands until none were left… now he is in Moria. He follows Tyrion because he thinks rubbing Dwarfs on the top of their head brings good luck and a bonus buff "to hit" against dragons.

Thundarr, Shagga, and Temujin

Thundarr the Barbarian – Another barbarian that feels the need to advertise that fact. Used to wield a fire sword that uncannily resembled a lightsaber but lost it in a game of sabacc, hung out with a princess/sorceress, and had a pet wookie called Ookla. He follows Tyrion because the Dwarf reminds him of a baby Ewok.

Shagga – Son of Dolf. He enjoys chopping off manhoods and feeding them to crows and/or goats. He is also the only barbarian here who comes from Westeros. Because of this, Tyrion actually trusts him more than the others, but thats not saying much. He follows Tyrion because the Halfman makes him laugh, not more than chopping off manhoods, but almost as much.

Temujin – An eternal champion from the mystical East, has gone by many names through the centuries Atylla of the Huns, Chingiz Xan, Timur-i-Leng. He is a great conqueror who knows the answer to the question "What is good in life?" He follows Tyrion because the dwarf reminds him of a tasty Spring Eggroll.

Great pictures and story telling with tons of humour.
Narrowed it down to three games systems in the end.Not too surprised with the one you used as it it rock solid like the tunes .
Look forward to new instalments.
Hopefully cave monkey man will not slip on any banana skins in them there dungeons .

Good job, that is my favorite version of D&D. I still have my original copy with all the marks I made as a kid for notes and house rules.

Neat idea and well carried out!

Grelber01 Aug 2015 8:43 a.m. PST

Looks ;like great fun--maybe I shouldn't auction off my old D&D stuff.

Very nicely done!

Thanks fellas!

Winston Smith,
Yeah! Then again, I changed death to -10 hitpoints. Which means Podrick and Varys would be dead for sure.
Also I downgraded the hitdice of the monsters, otherwise… maybe not a TPK, but maybe half the party would be dead. Even before entering the dungeon! As it stands most of them are under half hitpoints, and the cleric is already out of potions and healspells for the next 24 hours. I wouldnt call it a victory just yet!

Feet up now,
Ooo, what 3 did you narrow it down to?

Spooner 6,
Yeah, Moldvay is my favorite version as well. Kudos on still having your copy from childhood… complete with kid notes! I wonder what nonsense I scribbled in mine back then. Ugh… I just remembered taking school notes on the back inside cover, because I ran out of paper. Everyone check your copies, if theres notes on the Louisiana Purchase in there, thats mine! ;p

Tgunner06 Aug 2015 4:12 p.m. PST

Yeah, stick with the old school D&D! Get them through the dungeon and move on to Expert!!

tkdguy06 Aug 2015 7:12 p.m. PST

Much love for Basic D&D! I first thought you were using AD&D, since you mentioned negative hit points.

You game whilst listening to Tales From Topographic Oceans?

You are my new best friend :)
