 My notes on this session as of today (7/27/22)...

This is a great example of the LotFP summon spell biting the caster (the NPC villain Wiki-Dot-Pod) in the ass!  My players just played their 35th session this past Sunday, and they are still talking about some of the weird aspects they encountered in The Doom-Cave of The Crystal-Headed Children;-)  The PC Fecus began this campaign as a Halfling and was transformed into a human (his player chose to play the Specialist class upon the transformation) during the first session's exploration of this dungeon.

Ox Gives Way to Tiger Campaign

I started a new LotFP campaign in my existing campaign world back in 11/21.  We're 35 sessions in and going strong.  I will be sharing my after session notes with you.  If blogs are dead and I'm shouting into the Digital Void, so be it.  If you read this and prove the prior statement wrong, great!

  7/28/22 As I was in bed about to fall asleep last night, I realized I had

  forgotten to add two great resources to the list above. The Underworld Adventurer blog

  is from my friend and DM, Nick. He's been running a Dying Earth themed megadungeon

  that I've played in since 2020. I've borrowed his hireling table to use in one of the cities in 

  my home campaign and I've linked it below. 

   

   https://underworldadventurer.blogspot.com/2020/05/retainers-and-hireling-of-twilight-age.html

   

  The other resource is a random equipment generator from a blogger I ran across in the G+

  days. Their blog is in both Italian and English. I've linked the English version of the post

  containing the die drop table below.
