Aug 25, 2012 22:25:00 Righto. Just flagged it, Monkey. Would it be alright if I reposted this in the general forum now? I think it'd be kinda funny to see if we (the other DMs and myself) might bang out a playtest adventure concept with this as a basis.

Edit: You probably noticed that I'd removed the email address, so I figured it was kosher.

Thanks.
