There are rules for how to modify from the AD&D baseline to suit the campaign.<br /><br />The book contains a couple of adventures/dungeons (the kind that could be played in one 4+ hour session) that are fully set up, a couple more that have the dungeon ready and designed but leave it to the GM to set what threat level is in there. There's also guidelines/adventure-seeds for specific set-piece locales, like at a noble or royal Court, at a Fair or Tourney, in larger cities, or at The Wall. <br /><br />Dominique Crouzet has already announced that he plans to write at least a couple of adventures for Dark Albion (which I'll be consulting him on), and at least one of these will be 'pay what you want'.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-16324514811643012722015-06-29T13:42:47.576-04:002015-06-29T13:42:47.576-04:00Chris: there is a section on "demonology&quo...Chris: there is a section on "demonology" which allows you to randomly determine the qualities of a demon. <br /><br />There are tons of other random tables in the book (and if you like random you'll probably like the Appendix P rules) but I think that the demonology rules are the only ones that actually have to do with monsters.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-55680995767061690102015-06-29T11:47:50.080-04:002015-06-29T11:47:50.080-04:00Coincidentally I actually rolled you up on a rando...Coincidentally I actually rolled you up on a random demon table.
