Holmesian setting for Blueholme?

[Deleted]

Hello everyone!

The Blue Box was the first D&D game I ever had back in 1978-79.  So I have a soft spot for Holmes and its spiritual successors.

I'm in the process of creating a small adventure (for personal use) using Vile's Tower of Zenopus dungeon map.  Instead of using the typical monsters, treasure and magic from the Blue Box and early D&D, I've wanted to have the same elements taken from sources that inspired Holmes.

Does anyone here know of a Holmesian setting that's been created?

It would seem to be a mashup of ERB's Pellucidar, Lovecraftian elements, Conan bestiary and a pinch of HR Haggard, A. Merritt and CA Smith.

Thank you for your help!

Hi, you might want to check out the Zenopus Archives, especially the section on "Modules, Scenarios and Settings" for some ideas.

And I should have added--if you check upstream on this site, in the "Holmes Basic D&D (1977)" folder, you may find some items of interest there as well.

Thank you. I also found this particular thread that is helpful.

I also found the Holmes forum.  Don't know why I didn't see it earlier.  Lots of great info there.
