This post sounds like an attempt at scapegoatism by a disgruntled gamer.

WG7 credits list many experienced professional freelancers and even one TSR staffer. They must have been told to write their contributions in a certain way. I'm sorry to hear it turned out silly. Greyhawk had a dedicated in-house team headed by the late Jim Ward (or at least directly influenced).

Hi GM. WG7 was written by freelancers. I personally had no creative input over the product's design. When I hired freelancers for products other than Calidar or Basic D&D, design teams at TSR provided work descriptions and managed their projects directly. There's no connection with GAZ10.

Thank you, Alessandro, for your review.

Anyone else, please feel free to put in your two cents' worth on DTRPG. Every little bit helps. Thanks.

Thanks. I'm surprised most people who react to this post don't actually do any of the things it suggests.

Thanks!

I've uploaded the *Iron Queen* on DTRPG so I can work on the presentation page. I'm waiting for the last proofreading notes to come in before the last file update. The project isn't live yet, but should soon be. Stay tuned.

Therein lies the source of a brooding civil war on the World of Kragdûr. #OSE #B/X #BECMI #DnD #RPG #Calidar #TTRPG #OSR

Space runabout, dwarven style.

Pt III

The curvature of that tiny planetoid limits the distance the PCs can observe around them. Time is also of the essence because the PCs wear spacesuits with limited breathable air. Happy trails!

Pt II

The first map has all the details, the next two are Players' Aid versions (you might recognize an X1 "Isle of Dread" approach with the third). (...)

Pt I

The adventure in the "Iron Queen" includes an away mission for the PCs, on a large, airless asteroid. The map shows their short trek from their LZ to the objective. (...)

I had to recover a diagram from CAL1, which should be helpful in my present project. I didn't have the original file, so I recreated it with extra info.

Oh, well. I just handed over the Iron Queen manuscript to my editor. Sigh... I feel under-employed. The poster maps are done, but I want to collect the book's maps and save a set labeled for the DM and another, unlabeled and edited for players.

I added an extra adventure idea to the last chapter. It entails removing the aft turret and replacing its entire structure with accommodations for ambassadors to run a special mission. Shown here: the top lounge, with bar and glass canopy.

I had a lot of fun setting up the main plot, involving the ship's officers (and their secret motivations) and the social castes of the dwarven crew.

Here's the booklet's back cover. Happy Trails!

It is. I just got the "bug" to draft a large spacefaring ship. It started with a few casual doodles, and some ideas surfaced. I ended up with enough that I just had to pull all these pieces together for a bit of fun. Six months later... here we are.

Here's a mockup of my present project's cover.

Some changes were made, including some from the Royal Navy, which made the Corsair an excellent carrier-borne fighter/bomber from 1944 onward.

Since I completed three earlier articles on French and British WWII aviation, here's the fourth installment. This one is about the prowess of American industrial might in military aerospace. Let me know if you're interested in more of that stuff. Thanks!
