My "Return to the Tower of Zenopus" con scenario is now retitled In Search of the Brazen Head of Zenopus. As mentioned previously, Mike Mearls is running a "Return to the Tower of Zenopus" at Gary Con this year, so this motivated me to change the title. I like the new title better, as it's both more original and more descriptive. After all, it's not really a return to the Tower, just the dungeons, plus finding the missing talking mask is a "win" for the scenario (Murray wants it, naturally). The "In search of" is of course a nod to the title of B1. The other part comes from an old post about the talking mask, linked below. #brazenheadofzenopus

I think you should write a scenario where you travel back in time to the actual tower.
ReplyDeleteOne of the PC MUs could go back 100 years and become Zenopus!

The time travel thing would work well even with the sample dungeon: just replace the encounter in the tower with a new descriprion of the un-ruined tower. Sharp eyed PCs looking out of a window might notice a subtly different Portown. If they head back into the dungeon, it will also be slightly different (or they might re-encounter the same undead even if they destroyed them "earlier").
