A Journey Through a Classic Module

My gaming group headed to a cabin in the mountains for our annual gaming retreat. A Journey Through a Classic Module began as we dove into a First Edition module during a marathon session. This year, we tackled the classic S2 White Plume Mountain. One player, Rob Hand, truly outdid himself by building the entire dungeon in terrain. He crafted everything from the giant crab lair to the mud geysers and even the monster terrace chamber. Here are some photos of his incredible work and our journey through a classic Advanced Dungeons & Dragons module.
