The DM's a fan of Burroughs, but I didn't think of the possible connection until reading your writeup here.ze bulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603716850479808633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-52396797281978278712010-05-30T21:12:16.445-04:002010-05-30T21:12:16.445-04:00Black cheese.

I hinted at slunk merchants and black cheese afficiandos on Planet Algol before and I think that there is a small group of us (a niche within a niche within a niche?) that appreciate the influences of two great writers with the last name of Burroughs upon our games,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-56839428054731046002010-05-30T17:36:05.921-04:002010-05-30T17:36:05.921-04:00I think there are varying degrees of "based a...I think there are varying degrees of "based around" something, but I don't <i>think</i> anybody suggested you turn <i>Naked Lunch</i> into your next megadungeon.<br /><br />Though of course, you're free to do so. :)Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-15853122857949246832010-05-30T17:16:08.929-04:002010-05-30T17:16:08.929-04:00D&D adventures based around Naked Lunch..
