Conrad Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) I remember an article in the British roleplaying magazine White Dwarf, before it succumbed completely to wargaming, that was about the AD&D folk that could dwell under cities on barges that travel underground canals. Some of these folk may have fungal infections that turn them green... And I also remember a map of an underground quay printed in green, I think. Can any of the older gamers here point me in the direction of what issue of White Dwarf it was?

Guest Vile Traveller Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 That would be A Place of Damp and Darkness: Life beneath fantasy cities by Garth Nix, in issue #62. Printed in grey, not in green. One of my favourite articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Thanks a lot, Vile. Funny how the memory slowly alters small details over time, like the colour of an article.

Guest Vile Traveller Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 You're welcome! There was also a deck plan for a typical sewer-dweller's barge in that article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdr Vimes Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I remember having that issue. The DM at the time used it for a city thieving campaign. My character got extremely drunk at the annual winding ceremony for the clockwork barges and had most of his kit pinched. Happy days.

The wind up barge engines would make the background useable with Victorian steampunk too.

Guest Vile Traveller Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I just remembered the wind-up barge made a come-back in one of the Reaching Moon issues, in a scenario based on Apocalypse Now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
