It has that nice feel to it, I agree.

Enjoy! That's a classic.

Uploading my R4 right now, along with a revised map. I was inspired by Bob's sorcerer and created a sorceress who is if anything even more uncanny; see the new "What's Going On Here" introduction as well as areas X and Y for more about her. Added a few keyed sub-areas also to help keep track of traps and one-way doorways.

Are you wanting to run it? Or play in it?

I just posted an R5, and the adventure now has a name. This release details the "demon" behind the tapestry, named and somewhat modeled after Bob's own dog Blue. Also adds a bit of nice magical treasure, which I wonder if my players will ever find.

I couldn’t DM it, but I’d love to (stop reading right now :D) play in it. Or watch an actual play; like Chris’ :)

Tor as in a cluster of boulders?

Hah. Tor can be a pile of rocks, a tower, or a hill. That's just the list I actually know...

In this case it's a hill, with a dungeon underneath.

See also "Torpenhow Hill." (Now THAT'S a rabbit hole to Wonderland if I ever went down one...)

Uploaded R6. This contains an "explanation" of the "meaning" of Ebonbenter Tor that I think would have made Bob laugh. Also, I've filled in details for Z. Areas V and W are all that are left; the dice have dictated "empty" and "trap" but I'm open to suggestions.

Bob painted his scenes in broad, lurid strokes, and wasn't afraid to mix things up. I'm trying to keep that in mind as I finish his adventure.

I was thinking of running it as a multi-character solo in the Pit.
