Hey Rob,

I was just recently looking through my copy of Barrier Peaks in which EGG mentions your influence. Do you remember any specifics of what you put in there? I was wondering also about some of the sources of the adventure. EGG suggests it was cobbled together from some earlier Greyhawk material. Any recollections to share?

This is just idle curiosity -- I know you're busy so no harm if you can't respond.

Cheers.

I wrote most of the tech and robots and all that stuff. As far as the adventure itself, probably more inspired by Ward's Metamorphosis Alpha and Arneson's City of the Gods, which proceed it. My machine Level and various fiction which inspired all of the above (Stanislaw Lem's ...The Invincible) of which GT is familiar (besides AE Van Vogt's "...Beagle").

There is a secret brewing in those mountainous peaks of old, a tale revisited by the Sage Dow-Ku'un, about the Bright Star that fell as shards from the sky, burning the very ground about it; about a god of eternal flame that sprang from a star-born grave...

I'm intrigued -- but where will you find the time to write it all up?

I am on a roll, Endymion. Watch.

Probably won't come out until next year. Not this year for sure.

Not AGAIN, but Better--so speaks the sage, Dow-Ku'un...

Perhaps more levels to that nefarious dungeon exist buried beneath those mountains? I'm up for it myself since I run non-canonical Blackmoor. Probably set the dungeon near The Duchy of the Peaks. Perhaps a colonisation mission that was part of follow-on forces attached to the USS Beagle.
