White Plume Mountain - Area 1 - 4

In this 4 part video series we check out the classic Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Module, S2 White Plume Mountain room by room and in detail. This is not a review, but rather an in depth study on every encounter, how to run it, and how players often perceive the challenges.

Awesome work, man. Sincerely appreciated.

[@Classic_DM]

Great! Glad you enjoyed this one.

White Plume Cinder cone? Ikr... The size stated in the module is like a small hill than what looks like a stratovolcano in all the images.

[@Gilathorn]

Thank you for this review. Was adapting this adventure for my campaign and this is helpful

[@Classic_DM]

Great! Have fun!

Gyne in ancient Greek means "woman". As in "gynecology." Gynosphynx means "female sphinx".

I’m running this tomorrow and these vids have been super helpful. Thanks

[@Classic_DM]

Glad to hear that! It's a whacky dungeon and not nearly as insane as Tomb of Horrors. I love the artifacts!

[@Year2047]

@@Classic_DM I’m running it in 5e and I told everyone to bring a spare character. I’m thinking they might need them lol. I think they will have a fun time with it

Something you may not have thought of with the "pulling doors open" method of making it more difficult.
When you need to open a door by pulling it and cannot do so for some reason, you can easily pop out the hinge pins from that side and simply remove the door from it's frame. Locks of any kind are useless if the hinges are not attached, and the pins are always on the side it swings towards.
For some strange reason, no one ever thinks of this unless they have installed doors.

Good point!

[@Triskster]

My favorite module. Still have the original.

[@Classic_DM]

That's awesome. So much fun wrapped up in a cheap 10 page booklet!

Erol Otus defines DnD art for me. I started plaing in 80, and his gonzo style was so cool.
Easley and Elmore were great, but a little too high fantasy for me.

I loved Jeff Dee's work for characters! 79-83

I believe it’s Nyr Dyv

[@Classic_DM]

Doing some research here is what I found as far as pronunciation. Granted, I have this reputation of saying whacky fantasy words WRONG.
NEAR div

[@BockwinkleB]

I always read it as Near Dive, like a body of water that is closer than say the ocean, or a sea.

[@ButlerianG-Haddinun]

I named my dog Rottweiler "Scarf" after "Cinders"...not really, but I adore that pelt.

[@Classic_DM]

Hah!

@BardsofGreyhawk provided a musical accompaniment which may provide some flavour to a session... th-cam.com/video/fl8ZT4qToKw/w-d-xo.html

Heh. Quite Monty Python!

"gyne-" or "gyno-" comes from Ancient Greek, and means "woman" or "female".

We have an educated man here folks. No all I need is κρασί
