Yay Neil! Congrats on the big win. I will start prepping my players for this immediately.


Blue Dragon

Well done, and good show chap.

Good work Neil really looking forward to see your work in print.

(As a side they so need to make Lini one of the iconics for this one.)


Ogre

Congrats, Neil, you earned it.

So is this where the line forms for you running the PbP? If so, I'd like to reserve a spot now.


Dog Fairy Doll

Cool. I like the concept of a bleached-out gnome inadvertently stumbling onto doom.

I wonder where Bellis is.

Bellis is in the Verduran Forest on the Sellen river in between Taldor and Andoran. It's a pretty cool location, actually, if your characters want to joust in Taldor and fight kobolds in Darkmoon Vale all in the same month. Has Bellis been fleshed out in any other products or will this be our first glance at it?

EDIT: You are also a few days from Galt, Kyonin, and Druma. Bellis would be a great place to set up a home base for DMs wanting to play in any of these regions.

Thanks for the info. I am about to run Hollow's Last Hope/Crown of the Kobold King, set in Darkmoon Vale, and I'd also be interested in learning more about Bellis, if there is more to be learned. I'll have to check my PFC Campaign Setting.


Earth Elemental

Congrats on the win, I think I'll pick this up when it's out.


Tiefling

Very much looking forward to this!


Unicorn

Am I the only one reminded of this recent Penny Arcade comic by the word "Fellnight"? Is that worse than the Shadowfell, the Shadowdark, or the Darkbad? :-)

Congratulations on the win Neil, now if I could get the adventure by say....next Wednesday???? This adventure will fit perfectly into the campaign I'm running in Andoran, looks like I'll be scaling it.

Matthew Morris (RPG Superstar 2009 Top 32, 2010 Top 8)

Cool, I know one player who will like the gnome love.

Ummm...yeah...I'll get right on that. As long as your idea of "next Wednesday" is a Wednesday somewhere in January 2010, I should have it to you right on time. ;-D

Iomedae

excellent location i can't wait for this adventure

congratulations Neil


Doomguide

Hmm.. wouldn't be too hard to switch Bellis with Falcon's Hollow... maybe the gnome can be the gnome proprietor of Goose and the Gander. Although, after Carneval of Tears, does Falcon's Hollow really need more trouble with fey?


Raistlin

After that, I would think Falcon's Hollow is due for a little down time in regards to the wave after wave of evil coming upon them!
But then again Thuldrin Kreed's time is due... hmmm, idea! ;)


Mask

Yay. Well done!

Qadira Zuxius (Paizo Superscriber, Pathfinder Battles Case Subscriber)

And here is a drink for you toooooo!

That sounds awesome. I hope it is as good as it sounds. I hope that my group will be in that level range when the module comes out.

DustinGebhardt (Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber)

Will my most-famous DM have copies to share with his bestest player, I wonder?

Neil Spicer (RPG Superstar 2009, Contributor)

Silver Dragon

If you mean share as in "give"...I'm not certain I'll receive anything more than a personal copy myself. If you mean share as in "share"...well, I'm assuming you might want to play in the adventure rather than read through it beforehand, right? Right. ;-P

I am running the "Price of Immortality" modules and this would be a great next chapter. Where in the world is Bellis planned though. I am sure i can adapt it, but just curious.

According to the Campaign Setting, Bellis is located in eastern Andoran, in the Verderun Forest.

Bellis is a forest town, basically, situated right along western bank of the Sellen River where it drains down out of the River Kingdoms. It's right on the border between Andoran and Taldor. And it serves as an established presence to safeguard against future aggression by Taldor, though its nothing more than a small, out-of-the-way frontier town, really.

I particularly like Bellis as a prime location in the Golarion campaign setting, because of the access it has to so many places of major importance to the standard races. For instance, to the northwest, you can trek just a few miles and reach the Five Kings Mountains, which is a major dwarven stronghold with a storied past (see the upcoming Dwarves of Golarion for more on that). You can also get into Kyonin, the most powerful nation of elves, by going upriver from Bellis. In Taldor's part of the eastern Verduran forest, there's a major community of gnomes at Wispil. There's also a sizeable population of half-elves and half-orcs that can come down from the River Kingdoms. And, on the human front, you've got two of the major bastions for mankind in Andoran and Taldor, including whatever traffic goes up and down the Sellen.

So, Bellis is a location that's "not too big" while being connected to a lot of other big places. It's got a population of 4,800 according to the writeup in the campaign guide. So that puts it at about 4 times the size of Sandpoint in Rise of the Runelords. To me, it makes for a perfect launching point and homebase for a group of adventurers, because there's lots of surrounding locations and events to draw from when creating a character's background. And the town also lies among some of the more untamed wilderness than say, the Darkmoon Vale, where the Lumber Consortium has engaged in such major logging there.

Hope that helps,
--Neil

Do we get to know Bellis through Realm of the Fellnight Queen? Is as much space given to that as there is given to say Falcon's Hollow in D1?

Falcon's Hollow is a town about the same size as Sandpoint. Somewhere between 1,200 and 1,500 people, basically. Bellis, on the other hand, is 3-4 times larger than that at 4,800 citizens. So, devoting space to fleshing out Bellis (where only a small part of the adventure takes place) wasn't as big of a design priority, unfortunately. Still, I think you'll get a good bit of insight into the town...especially through its NPCs. I know what's in the manuscript, of course, but Sean gets to decide how much more gets included on Bellis, itself. Who knows, maybe eventually there will be a Guide to the Verduran Forest and a town like Bellis will receive a much bigger writeup? :-)

Curse you handsome devils. Seriously though really hoping for Lini on the cover (Since she hasn't been on a module cover far as I know)

Bellis is on the Andoran/Taldor border.

This book just went to the printer, so we should have an updated cover image soon. And it is SWEET. :)

I decided to stop asking about it and just trust that Paizo has a plan to reveal it at the appropriate time. They're always crafty like that...and always seem to have a plan.

Spoiler:

That...or they're way behind schedule again and don't have anyone available to work on putting up the new cover art! ;-)
