Each time you post a review like this, my first step is manybooks.net to see if it's available - I've found myself looking forward to getting a day or week's reading from your pulp posts.<BR/><BR/>The Moon Pool can be found at http://manybooks.net/titles/merrittaetext96mpool11.htmlMichael S/Chgowizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052820400496340137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-25955891599344236792009-02-02T01:45:00.000-05:002009-02-02T01:45:00.000-05:00This makes me think of D&D module X5, the Temp...This makes me think of D&D module X5, the Temple of Death, which in an isolated mountain cavern features a "Well of the Moon", which on nights of the full moon is connected by a magic ladder to the Kingdom of the Moon (to be detailed by the DM). There's also a nearby hazard which features a creeping light that potentially covers the PCs and saps their Str and Int to the point of vegetation and death.<BR/><BR/>And maybe even more to the point, I recall that there's a similar radiant pool mentioned in EGG's Greyhawk boxed set, in an deep-earth setting, where a degenerate underground race throws in victims to be sacrificed.Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.com
