[Age of Id] The Quest for the Seven Stargems

[Havard]

I'm adding some comments from the Blackmoor Fans group on Facebook:

Gemstones mined from the heart of a neutron star? Each one is just a flake but weighs more than a mountain? Or, could be from a brown dwarf, and just not weigh so much.

Could be self-contained universes, with unimaginable power. Something like the Galaxy from Men In Black.

Could be the living avatars of stars, ala Kevin Sorbo's Andromeda.

One more idea: the whole tale could be a bunch of milarky concocted by a merchant looking to grossly inflate the price of seven gemstones he's looking to sell. By the time the PCs realize all they have is seven relatively ordinary gemstones, the merchant is LONG gone.

Otherwise known as the "Dragon Mountain" effect

I just read that, Havard...Id? Wizards? "THE KING IS A FINK! THE KING IS A FINK!" /act *galoop galoop galoop* (LOL)

Kevin: Haha, yep! I would not be surprised if the Wizard of Id was the real inspiration behind the Temple of Id. OTOH I also like the idea that Arneson lifted the terms Ego, Id and Thanatos out of Psychology. I have another post about that on the forum... Or quite possibly its a mix of those, serious and funny

With Dave, that combination wouldn't surprise me in the least!
