One question I had:
How long has Willowby Hall been abandoned? I don't think the text specifies. Or, given that magic is possibly preserving the mansion, maybe the question is: What is its general condition?
Clearly we're not at the "collapses into dust at a touch" stage of your classic ancient tomb. But nor is everything pristine.
I'd want to get that clear in my head so I can describe things in a way that doesn't mislead attentive players.

Here's some things I would want to think about/prep more before running:
* How I would embody / get into the head of the key NPCs. The bits we have already are evocative but brief, and this isn't one of my strong points
* Also default plans for the 3 adventurers and Elias (if returned to present).
* Quick map for the museum (and more example exhibits). There's a lot of fun stuff to do with tactical positioning between aisles of glass cabinets. -
Its reputation as an excellent adventure stuffed with interactivity is well-deserved. A couple of things I liked that I haven't seen highlighted:
* Details that are hard to improvise are included: books in the library, paintings in the gallery.
* Double references: e.g. chimney you can climb references roof; roof entry referencs kitchen.
* The vases from Yoon-Suin! Such a small touch but I love the feeling of OSR community it gives. -
Finished my read through of "The Waking of Willowby Hall" 💪

List of RPG products that I have bought but not read:
* Waking of Willowby Hall
* Electrum Archive (vol 1) by @EmielBoven
* Hole in the Oak
* Ultraviolet Grasslands
* Troika!
* Whalgravaak's WarehouseVery short by some people's standards, but I'm really struggling to read RPG stuff at the moment - chronic fatigue and a lot of stress. Managed a few minutes today. Wish me luck!

A revengeful knave will do more than he will say; a grateful one will say more than he will do.

If the weakness of the head were an admissible excuse for the malevolence of the heart, the one-half of mankind would be occupied in aggression, and the other half in forgiveness; but the interests of society peremptorily demand that things should not be so; for a fool is often as dangerous to deal with as a knave, and always more incorrigible.

My friend is running Nimble for our next campaign. Looks interesting, but I feel like the 5e compatible sticker is stretching it. It’s an interesting blend of 5e, PF2, and NSR games like Into the Odd and Knave.
I’m trying my hand as a Commander.

A quotation from Thomas Fuller
If thou trustest every one, thou wilt be known to be a Fool; if thou trustest none, thou wilt be suspected to be a Knave.

Introductio ad Prudentiam, Vol. 2, # 1989 (1727)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/fuller-thomas-1654/7…
