I have always wanted to dm this and have just got all 3 modules in the series on an online auction site !! Wanted to watch a review .... mate you had me sold when you described Lorraine Williams and the Blooms as petty & degenerate ......Brilliant
Hope you have fun DMing the Desert Of Desolation series. My brother was the DM for the series. There is alot more I can say about the TSR villains (none of it good), but it would be all hearsay, since I was not there at the time.
I agree, The pegasus being chaotic good in nature would never willingly serve under somebody who would destroy history, they would view it as wanton and unwarranted. They would only be there as slaves and would seek to escape if the opportunity presented itself.
What I don't get about this module lore-wise is that it is stated that the waters of Athis (and hence the entire river) were around for a very long time (being the foundation of the entire landscape with its flowering cities etc.); but that would mean that the magical spring of these waters had to have been there long before the pyramid was built, while at the same time it is stated that the spring, from which the waters were teleported to the fountain, was located inside the pyramid... :/ What's up with that? Was the pyramid built in the same location as the already existing spring?
Yeah, you are right. Plot Hole! I would say the magical spring existed before the area was inhabited, then the Pyramid was built later around/on top of it.

Thank you for the re-post, I love your breakdown of the design structure in this series.
Thanks, and you're welcome. :-)

Hey, what can I say, but I am dirty old man... :-P

Totally agree.
33:08 I believe both the Androsphynx and Hierachosphynx are male. You might be thinking of the Gymnosphynx. 😉
Oh? Oops? OK.
@@RPGmodsFan I do like your reviews, they are very thorough. Keep the good work up! 👍
