The Gnomes of Levnec
OSR Bundle of Holding +33
I just got this as part of the OSR Bundle of Holding +3, which I encourage you all to go get RIGHT NOW.
Go on, I'll wait.
This is a really simple module/supplement, talking about a small area, it's idiosyncracies, and it's weird gnomes.
Now, it's no secret that I hate gnomes and halflings with a fiery passion (at least, in my games). But I had a cool idea for gnomes for my ACKS game (they're little cannibal wooden guys who grow up into treants), and The Gnomes of Levnec is at least as awesome as that. I mostly wanted to write this because it reminded me of my own idea for gnomes.
It's a little too over-the-top-gonzo for me (as so much of the OSR stuff is- I also read Slumbering Ursine Dunes tonight, which was more (but not much more) my speed. But it's awesome and some of the stuff in it is usable- the spells included are thoughtful, the village which is written has the mandatory dark secrets one expects from a document that feels kind of LotFP to me, and there's a bit of a dungeon to crawl.
All in all, it's a pdf I would not have bought unless it was in the Bundle of Holding, and for which I am glad I shell for those.
