New Year's Resolution? Not quite 4K

 Apparently there was a lot of talk about "Dungeon '23" going on on the Internet lately. Something about megadungeons and hundreds of rooms and creativity.

As my readership probably already knows, the Chronicle has been on hiatus. Life has been... well, life. And while the well of ideas hasn't run completely dry, let's just say that the bucket has had to drop quite a bit further lately to finally hit those creative waters.

It has been a long haul, getting that bucket back up to the top. Oh, it's slipped quite a few times. Slopped water back into that deep drop. There have been more than a few blisters raised along with that bucket, too.

So in an effort to turn those blisters into calluses, I am taking the leap and trying my hand at a year of creativity along with many fellow Dungeon Masters, but putting my own twist on this silly notion of a three hundred-plus room dungeon.

I will be undertaking something of a hex-a-day, crawling across the blasted landscape of what has newly become Mystara's frozen northern reaches in the aftermath of the cataclysmic Great Rain of Fire.

My New Year's resolution isn't 4K. It's more like 2K.

As in "Twilight:2000." Specifically, Free League Publishing and GDW's collaboration on the fourth edition.

Thorn's Chronicle will be time-slipping back, to look at Blackmoor's Year Zero.
