Castle Amber (believe it or not): Part 1, the West Wing

I still have my original paper edition of this early and well known D&D module, although it is beginning to show signs of wear and tear in its old age. I have run it on at least one previous occasion a very long time ago, and it seemed to fit nicely into a Stormbringer style milieu. The combination of the weird family and its internal politics, interplanar shenanigans and Clark Ashton Smith’s Averoigne makes for some unusual gaming possibilities. Including some additional elements to link it to my current campaign, it took my three main players plus one other occasional character four sessions to get through it. They liked it a great deal... Campaign narrative  Nadjana stays behind to guard the other side of the flickering gateway along with The Chantryman while Destiny, Sir Blanque, Marion and Alexia proceed. They now have seven of the eight parts of the Runestaff, and they know that the eighth piece is somewhere through the planar rift that has appeared in front of them. T
