I haven’t been posting on here as much as I used to, but I still read the new posts most days. On that note, i’ll probably give Festivities of Fury another read over the break. Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone, I hope it’s a good one for all ! 😁

Some rather crappy ones:
The Seven Serpents a singing
The Kitchen of Chaos
The Port for Pearl*
The Board Games of Death
The Paper Crown of Kings
The Port of Evil
The Cheeseboard of Chaos
Beneath Nightmare Washing Up
I'm about to serve the cheeseboard, without port - Merry Christmas!

You go round to visit your mate, Alan, but he's behaving very oddly. He says he has the most unbearable headache, but that doesn't explain why he takes out a coconut-flavoured chocolate bar and ties it into your hair. When he rests his head on a table, the cause of his headache is horribly revealed: a number of tiny, evil-looking humanoids clamber out of his lughole carrying knives, garrottes and little vials marked 'poison'. You begin to feel il.

Ok, there is only one coconut-flavoured chocolate bar I know of, bounty, and there aren't that many FFs that feature it's 'ow' sound, I conclude that it must either be Warlock or Return to Firetop Mountain. So far on the right track?

So far on the right track? Some of what's written there is a description (or misdescription) of the plot, not just the sound of the title alone, but yes you're spot on with the chocolate bar.

Correct. In case it's not clear to everyone, the adventure involves you having a bounty placed on your head. Also the final sentence doesn't contain a typo; those are the initials of the author. Anyway, I thought this was a good time to resurrect the thread, what with people stuck at home for obvious reasons.

While seeking evidence of paranormal phenomena in Blackpool, you are taken prisoner by a mob of equine quadrupeds who have had enough of giving children rides on the beach. Their leader, Giddyup Eeyore, claims to have devised a serum that will transform all humans into unthinking beasts of burden, and threatens to unleash it if his demands for independence and carrots are not met. But has he really created the formula, or is he just attempting to pull off a scam?

Out on a ridge of coral – near a sticky port – is a ring of standing stones. This is the domain of an ancient, undead cricket referee named Steve. He lives there with his cat. Can you defeat him?

Reef-henge of the Umpire?? That's close enough. I was thinking 'Reef Henge of Steve, Umpire'. Naturally the cat is actually his sister, Kat(arina) and there's a reference to Gummport. (I don't own this book so I checked some details on Titannica.) Your go.

Has anyone posted about the flower-seller who gets involved in a battle between dwarves and trolls, and hides a critical item somewhere in the flower shop?
