In which I muse about things that I think, once added to the character sheet, make a significant contribution to the game.

Saw this video linked on the Holmes FB Club. Nice overview of the Holmes Set including B2. Warning: his voice is more soporific than Bob Ross painting a landscape.

Having just finished running my Holmes/OD&D group through the original "Lost Caverns of Tsojconth" I felt compelled to make this classic more accessible.  Click on the link for a 16-page version of the Lost Caverns in the style of B1 "In Search of the Unknown"

This would serve as a great adventure for 6-8 PCs of levels 3-7.  All you need is a copy of your D&D rulebook edited by Holmes, as I have included sections describing new monsters and treasures (including the rules for intelligent swords from Greyhawk).

I borrowed text from the AD&D version to flesh out some of the room descriptions.  I also felt the need to come up with some wandering monster tables, but feel free to modify to suit your individual campaign.  Enjoy!
