Remember: ICE lied so often about people posing threats to them, to justify their violence in Chicago, that a Chicago federal judge wrote it was "difficult, if not impossible, to believe almost anything" ICE said. Do you know what it takes to get a Fed district judge to WRITE THAT in a ruling?

Is there a cleverer way that Ukraine could have hit back at Trump doing a dirty oil deal with Putin to help him with gas prices in the midterms than turning off the army of Russian propagandists posing as heartland Americans with concerns about trans socialists?

I'm convinced Newsom isn't running for President at all. Sure, he might have a committee and use it as a slush fund, but he's running to be appointed to corporate boards and fake think tanks and stuff. Just too many examples of him going out of his way to show he's not aligned with the Dem base.

In 2013, WotC released "Against the Slave Lords," a reprint of the original 4 adventures with an added "A0" adventure that can be used to launch a full campaign from the beginning. The series has had a huge influence! /END

The A series has had a lasting legacy! In 1986, the four adventures were combined into a super-module "Scourge of the Slave Lords" that added lots of new material, including more times for the characters to be captured.

Each adventure of the A series introduced a new monster. In A3, the monster is a storoper (stone roper), a tentacled stone-like monster that can paralyze characters and appear to turn them to stone!

Full stat sheet for the storoper, showing a nice illustration of the stalagmite-like creature lifting a hapless adventurer into the air with its tentacles.

Dr. SkySkull @drskyskull.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

In A4, the characters are abandoned into a dungeon to die and must escape, get gear, and finally defeat the slavers! ... but that is a story for another time.

Dr. SkySkull @drskyskull.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The kicker: the characters fight through the catacombs only to be captured by the Slave Lords at the end, setting up module A4! In tournament play, this is automatic; in regular play, the characters must fight a very losing battle against more powerful enemies.

Council Chamber of the Slave Lords:

The door opens into a great room (70' x 70' x 40' high)
lit by large torches set in wall sconces. There are nine
large throne-like chairs in a semi-circle facing the con-
cealed door. A large iron staircase spirals upward in
the southwest part of the room. Every odd numbered
chair is occupied (five in all). Seated there are five
large, dangerous-looking men wearing many jewels
and fine robes - and for some the glint of concealed
armor can be seen.
TOURNAMENT VERSION (Outcome for Room C9)
Although the men are clearly laughing, no sound can
be heard coming from the room. As the party observes
this scene, the man sitting in the central throne (a fight-
er-type with a black eyepatch) gestures to an unseen
henchman. Suddenly a wall of stone drops 20' down
the corridor, blocking any hope of retreat!

Dr. SkySkull @drskyskull.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The hidden city of Suderham is a significant addition from the tournament, giving lots of detail that can be expanded upon in non-tournament play. Basically, the characters must sneak into the city and find a path to the rumored catacombs where the Slave Lords reside.

One odd thing about these early caves is that it seems very strange to have a series of nigh-unavoidable deathtraps at the secret entrance to the city! This is actually explained later in the second part of the adventure. Basically, the Lords discovered this cave and keep it as an emergency exit.
