Woohoo! My long-awaited campaign has finally begun. Back in '05, I ran Shackled City to completion, and a while ago I decided I wanted to run it again. However, my old gaming group is scattered all over now, so that was easier said than done.
We decided to use maptools, and thanks to all the fine folks in the community, I managed to find a bunch of cool maps, side trek ideas, etc., so I know this time around will be even more fun than the first. Of course, it still took months before we finally got around to starting this bad boy.
The best part of maptools, imo, is that it can be saved for posterity. I decided to share our first session here.
If you see a map you made, then know that you have my sincerest gratitude for your fine work!
There are only two players in this campaign, and one of them wasn't available for the first session. However, I'm letting them fill out their party with iconics (they chose Lini and Seoni). I gave Lini and Seoni slightly different attitudes than prescribed in their pregen stats, but I guess that's the GM's prerogative. ;)
The player's character is a human swashbuckler (from Tome of Secrets), and he was a pirate until he was caught by authorities near Sasserine (I transplanted all of the necessary locations from Shackled City, Age of Worms, and Savage Tide into Golarion). After torture and watching his captain hanged, he decided to head inland for a time. After arriving in Cauldron, he met Lini and Seoni, who were on a mission to get to the bottom of the mysterious kidnappings...
