Congrats on the 14 years of TGG. I appreciate the unapologetic honesty and candor in your conversations and reviews. Lots of valuable tips on gaming and appreciation for the hobby. And of course the Wilkin’s Coffee.☕ Looking forward to “Old School October” on your channel this month.

Enjoyed your review.
Along with the second book, this was part of some Kickstarter rewards, so I have the PDFs. The first adventure works best. Sunbathers had, for me, a great Shutter Island concept, but didn't find the right way to present the idea in a dungeoncrawl (could probably do to channel some Castle Amber).
Agreed about the Comet. Also, I couldn't work out why it wasn't just a normal lost world hexcrawl region. The comet had little significance except as a gimmick and as a reason for to limit the exploration area. If it was about to crash into a sun, then there might be a a reason for the adventurers to pay attention to all the hurtling through space.

Can I run the scenarios in the anthology with just the OSE classic fantasy tome?
