Progress on Hobgoblin Caves

-
I got a good hour to 90 minutes in on Keep on the borderlands. It seems like the dungeon, 'the caves of choas' are an endless parade of guard rooms, common areas, storage rooms and chief's quarters. I got a few tile issues repaired in the Hobgoblin's caves and decorated a large common area and a guard area. I'm quite pleased with the look.

I'm going to finish the caves then before I add NPCs, dialog and scripts I think I will do a little testing and make sure I can 'walk' everywhere I need to and that area transition and secret doors are all working. Then on to the fun stuff...

I know this is a classic module, but I am struggling with how much to expand the plot. The original is nearly plot free, leaving it up to the DM to fill in the blanks. I guess as a mod builder that's up to me, but as I color in the blank spots I wonder if I am deviating too much from the original. It's a classic module and I want to do it justice.

Some screenshots from todays work on Hythum. I've been putting this area together all week and it's nearly done. If I have been producing like this during my entire recovery I'd be sitting pretty. Oh well. I don't like some of the weeds in the middle of the road and need to clean them up but overall I am quite happy with what I have.

Hang it up?

-
Ever want to hang it up? I'm modding now and am likely to continue for an hour or so but in the same breath part of me wants to hang it up. Just a little burn out. It will pass. This is a good activity for me while my foot is healing. :-)
