+1 Nerd Bonus for the "lich-like visage" reference.
Dude, the DnD references never get old.

The initial reference comparing, yes, John McCain to a lich, didn't sink in when I read the original post (link here).
I have a glimmer of recognition of a D&D Adventure Module that prominently featured a Lich, but I can't remember the name. I seem to also remember that I never actually played the module because it was for relatively high-level characters and I never had the discipline (or regular playing opportunities) to stick with a character long enough to develop them to the appropriate level.
But I always found myself drawn to the Lich, a monster that was reminiscent of Eddie (the ghoulish mascot of British Heavy Metal group Iron Maiden) in a way that was somehow comforting.
While searching for what I'm remembering as "The Lich Module" (I might have better luck in my Mom's basement), I stumbled upon a blog post detailing the 8 Worst Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Modules Ever Made. What a trip down memory lane!
Here's a relisting of Dungeon's Top 30 D&D Modules of All Time (issue #116).
And then here's the Top 10 D&D Modules I Found in Storage This Weekend series of posts from the geekdad blog on Wired. I'll link to them individually because the blog category of RPGs is too expansive. Hey, he's already admitted he's a geek.
