The story of Atlantis is one of the most renowned and enduring tales of a lost city, said to have been swallowed up by the sea and lost forever.

I need a Lovecraftian-style story in which an explorer finds an ancient inscription on a stone monolith, written in a forgotten language, in the antediluvian ruins of a lost city of which only legends formerly spoke.

And then someone translates it, and it turns out to be some king’s plans for an irrigation system.

The Ancient Greek papyri that was burned in 79 AD following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius has now been revived with the content also having been recovered.

There were more than 1,800 papyri, sometimes referred to as the Herculaneum scrolls, with texts hidden on the back.

Initially, scientists attempted to unroll the papyri and, as a result of their hasty efforts, ruined them in their already fragile state. Yet recently, a group of researchers from Italy, France, Germany, and Russia collaborated on the papyri with advanced digital technology.

They then announced that “by using the ultrasound imaging technique in the short infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (1,000 to 2,500 nanometers), they were able to see “portions of Greek text hidden behind the PHerc. 1691/1021 papyrus.”

B4: The Lost City is excellent fodder for the Goodman Games Original Adventure Reincarnated treatment. It is on its own a classic module, but one that is overshadowed somewhat (perhaps because it doesn’t bear Gygax’s byline), so a big old purple hardcover book is a nice way of raising the adventure’s profile. More than that, though, the original only details a sliver of a much larger area of exploration — there is a bit of desert wilderness, most of a pyramid that houses a ghastly secret and then there is some indication of a vast underground city. It is sketched briefly and ultimately left, along with a subterranean wilderness area, largely for the DM to fill out.

No more! Goodman Games finally did the heavy lifting and filled all that out so I don’t have to. I much prefer reading someone else’s lost city than having to make up my own! Seriously, this is practically its own thing. Of the 320 total pages, the reprint and supplemental material takes up just 57 pages. That’s a gigantic expansion. And it mostly works. The mysterious culture of the masked Cynidiceans helps sustain a desire (and in some cases, need) to explore the city. My one issue is that the expanse of the explorable region will likely get the attention of players AFTER dealing with the central mystery of the module, which seems slightly anticlimactic. There are some surprises, yet, but Zargon is so compelling I don’t like the idea of him playing second fiddle to a mind flayer.

Which brings me to another thing — the illustrations of Zargon here are fine, but I am honestly a tiny bit underwhelmed. Goodman regularly delivers over the top art and Zargon is one of the most over the top early D&D monsters. It’s not that I wanted better portraits of the false god, I just want moooooore. Two new ones in addition to Holloway’s original seems miserly.

Once a bustling hub on England's southeast coast, the medieval port town of Ravenser Odd now lies hidden beneath the waves. This fascinating town, thriving in the 13th and 14th centuries, faced the relentless forces of nature - ultimately disappearing into the depths of history.

Located near today's Spurn Head in East Riding of Yorkshire, Ravenser Odd's story is one of prosperity, strategic importance, and sudden decline. Founded by the Counts of Aumale, possibly Ferdinand II of Castille or his son, John of Ponthieu, this port rapidly rose to prominence, outshining even Kingston upon Hull at its peak!

But coastal erosion and the shifting Humber River spelled its doom. The final blow came with the devastating Saint Marcellus Flood in 1362, erasing Ravenser Odd from the map.

Now, centuries later, scientists led by Professor Dan Parsons from the University of Hull are on a mission to rediscover this lost town. Using advanced echosounder technology, they hope to reveal the secrets lying 500 meters off Spurn Point.
