Hackmaster 4E (parody) modules

Post by Treebore »

I don't know how many of you actually understand HM 4E. The important thing is this. The modules are very worth getting. They are very easy to use with C&C. Their "hacks" of classic modules, such as Keep on the Borderlands, not only redo what was done originally, but they have added a great amount of material. So if you get lucky enough to come across these adventures at a good price, get them! If you come across their Temple of Elemental Evil hack at a good price, pick one up for me too. Their die hard fans have that at a really high price.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Doesn't matter if they die hard, as long as they die. Then you can grab their Temples of Elephant Eiffel and book outta there.

Many of the HM modules are nice; some are meh. I was not impressed with Robinloft, for example. But, the Temple of Existential Evil is a good one. Need another...

I love Little Keep on the Borderlands. It's not perfect, but I actually like the HM version better than the original. I've run it a few times back in the day using 2E D&D and Hackmaster 4E.

I don't own all of the HM modules, so I guess I should have given a disclaimer about that. OF the ones I do own, they are pretty darn good.

Heck, I've even been buying Kenzer's modules for their new version. Still well done.

I pass by these darn things all the time. Guess I better give them another look!

I snagged a copy of Temple of Existential Evil at GaryCon for $50. Near mint condition (and you'd have to be pretty picky to not just go with mint). I'm told that was a good price. I'm going to stick it in a cabinet with a shrink Upper Works and fund my retirement with it someday. ;-)

Yeah, that is a pretty good price. $30 lower than any I have seen.
