D100 Towers part two

Some awesome finds while moving: 3 campaign worlds from 80s and 90s each used for many years of play and a bunch of city maps. Found my microprose games Darklands book. A pc game from early 1992 using chaosium mechanics and by Sandy Paterson. 1500s Germany overrun by witches and demons. Tonight i used it and its many maps and tables for Cthulhu. Dark ages + runequest+darklands. Went very well and explaining every mythos critter and history through christian myth goggles was lots of fun. Serpent men are serpents from before the fall when they had legs. Monsters are from before the flood. Unbaptised heathens dont go to heaven so don't worry about murdering them.
