Thanks for posting! Loved this. Makes the rationale for all the dungeoneering rules and procedures in B/X very clear. I got the Substack AI lady to read the post to me - and it was great!

This is great! Reminds me of when I got the black box and ran myself through all the Thunder Rift modules.

13 hours to travel 2.3 miles? that seems....excessive....

This is a awesome reada and I appreciate you sharing your experience. When running B1 solo did you populate the dungeon how the module tells you to do,did you do this before hand or during play? Also was it a pain to switch the descending at or class stats to ascending for the monsters in the module?

I used OAR 1 Into the Borderlands published by Goodman Games, which provides 3 examples of filling out B1. When the party arrived at a door to listen or enter, I rolled a 1d3 to determine which room stocking from Into the Borderlands was inside. So during play. That way it I could be surprised.

I'm used to switching between descending and ascending AC. Old-School Essentials makes this easy too.

Thank you for reading. Glad you enjoyed! I haven't posted in a while but I plan to.
