I was walking down Delancey some weeks ago when my eye was caught be this corner restaurant. "I know that sign," I thought to myself. I went in an inquired at Grey Lady, the restaurant in question, and sure enough: it was the classic, double-sided neon sign that hung for more than fifty years over the Famous Oyster Bar at 54th Street and Seventh Avenue, until it went out of business in January 2014. The owners had bought it and salvaged it. I think it actually looks better on the desolate corner of Delancey and Allen.
As some of you have doubtless noticed, I haven't posted much lately. I have been busy working on a couple books and a variety of other activities. So, for the time being, I'm going to let Lost City rest as a sort of permanent document of what New York was, and what New York has lost in the past decade. I will occasionally post when the spirit moves me. I've put too much into the site to let it die completely. In the meantime, thanks to everyone and anyone who visits this blog and loves New York.
The Lost City[5] is a 2022 American romantic action-adventure comedy film directed by the Nee brothers, who co-wrote the screenplay with Oren Uziel and Dana Fox, based on a story by Seth Gordon.[6] Starring Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Brad Pitt, the film follows a romance novelist and her cover model, who must escape a billionaire who wants her to find a lost ancient burial chamber described in one of her books.
After a disastrous start, mostly due to the fans' obsession with Alan's Dash persona, Loretta is kidnapped by billionaire Abigail Fairfax, who realizes that she based her books on actual historical research she did with her late archaeologist husband. Fairfax has discovered a lost city on a remote Atlantic island, and is convinced that the Crown of Fire, a priceless treasure belonging to the ancient King Kalaman and Queen Taha, is located there. When Loretta declines to help decipher an ancient clue to the treasure, Fairfax, fearing an active volcano will destroy the site, has her chloroformed and they fly to the island.
Not all sites were drowned by the Lake, but the most representative, Pueblo Grande de Nevada (Lost City) was. Luckily, hundreds of sites remained above water and various artifacts were saved from the Lost City to be housed in the Lost City Museum of Archaeology in Overton, Nevada. But for every discovery saved, myriad others were lost. All future study of the area would be limited to the hastily assembled collections and notes of the pre-Lake Mead archaeologists. By the 1950s it was already obvious to historians, archaeologists and anthropologists that the surviving artifacts of Lost City raised more questions than answers. Answers that would remain lost at the bottom of Lake Mead.
Real quick question since my play group is having an argument over this enchantment. A player says that he is able to still cast cards exiled with this enchantment even after I exiled the enchantment itself. Is he really able to cast cards that were exiled by the enchantment or are they permanently lost since I got rid of the enchantment?

Like modern OSR adventures, a referee can read through B4 just once and then put it on the table for play with almost no prep at all. It's organization is as good as could be expected from 1982, and such simple organization for official modules has since been lost during the Hickman revolution until only these recent years of the OSR (and then only slightly improved by modern OSR designers).
2. The POD scan isn't perfect - At one point I actually caused the entire party to become lost as the referee and had to simply provide them the way out because between sessions they had winded their way around so much, that when they came back to certain parts of the dungeon from the opposite direction, I couldn't recall what they experienced.
2. It pulls no punches on dungeon crawling - Going in, water resources are incredibly important, and several levels in the scarcity of food and water may cause the players to make...questionable...choices regarding how to stay alive. Light is life. There are no "stores" or merchants here, although there are factions that can be used as sanctuaries. Because of the use of claustrophobic spaces, weird factions, roaming monsters, moving corridors and scarcity of resources the Lost City becomes a "mythical underworld" of paranoia and survival.
3. Allow the story to emerge - This is the perfect module to show how an ecosystem in a dungeon environment using the lost dungeon crawling rules of D&D allows a story to emerge with a combination of the strange elements of fiction and player choices alone. It's an excellent module for the referee to kick back and observe the glory of emergent storytelling they had no hand in "writing."
1. Dark Sword & Sorcery of a forgotten time - In every way drawing from the Dark Sword & Sorcery of an Clark Ashton Smith story, the step pyramid is just weird. Modern modules simply don't contain this amount of grit, attitude and depth. Everything from the descriptions of the inhabitants and their society (some of the weirdest in any module I've seen), to the horrific truth at the bottom of it all, the environs of the desert and step pyramid evoke a sense of a lost city that should perhaps have stayed lost. The whole thing is dripping with flavor, and would probably not be as well recieved by the broader \u201Ckitchen sink\u201D high fantasy/power fantasy audience of modern days.

From an archaeological point of view, the site is clearly significant. The city is estimated to date back to 800 AD and to have had around 8000 inhabitants. You have to walk up 1200 moss-covered stone steps to reach the top.
Smack in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, atop an underwater mountain rising over 10,000 feet above the seafloor, sits Lost City. Hundreds of white spires jut into the dark ocean, spanning the area of a city block and towering between 30 and 200 feet tall. Hot alkaline fluids filled with hydrogen gas spew from the tops of these natural towers into the waters just east of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Exploring the ruins early morning with no-one around was just incredible. Picturing how the Tairona used to live and seeing how big the place is we really imagined how the city used to a be a busy community living, thriving within their surroundings deep into the Sierra Nevada.
After marvelling at the city from the highest point, the rest of our group had caught up and joined us. We had a talk from our guide Jose on the history of the Ciudad Perdida, learning about how the people used to live, work with gold and keep themselves as a fully functioning and prosperous community. Jose then took us to a small community located on the grounds of the Lost City, a local shaman and his family still live on this site practising ancient traditions and keeping the spirit of the Tairona alive.
We then exited the city through a scenic route making our way slowly down and back to the steps we had previously ran up. We spent a good few hours at the city taking it in. For us it was a truly magical and fascinating archeological, historical and spiritual experience.
But that night, in Bunny's apartment, life was mellow and safe, a finer distillation of all that I had come to love at Princeton. The gentle playing of an oboe mingled with city noises from the street outside, which penetrated into the room with difficulty through great barricades of books; only the crisp tearing open of invitations by one man was a discordant note. I had found a third symbol of New York and I began wondering about the rent of such apartments and casting about for the appropriate friends to share one with me.
