Heh, I guess I'll have to tell one of my players that she can't be a member any more.

The PrC requirements in the Campaign Guide don't seem that harsh.

Woot! Hellknight PrC!!

This adventure's gonna rock!

But I'm biased since I'm a patron.

The mock up art is from one of the side trek adventures in the Second Darkness AP, just FYI.

Considering this book is OOP, and that copies on Amazon and ebay are going for 75+, its not a bad deal.

I'm very glad that Privateer has done this. Now I can stop losing auctions!

So, Dunwich Horror done fantasy style?

are we going to see others too, like Shadows over Insmouth? The Kingsport one?

The new cover rocks! thanks

There's another mechanic someone pointed out where if you roleplay for 15minutes and it advances the story you get an XP reward equivalent to a monster at that level.

I see the potential for abuse or at the very least whining when the PC acts IC and the GM says no to the reward...

"But its in the DMG2!"

I'll much rather have a book that contains a whole lot of rules, so that I don't have to buy a dozen other supplemental books, in an effort to piece the together the rules system of the game.

Could I interest you in a gently used Fifth Edition Hero System Rulesbook?

Actually the Revenge of the Giants supermodule looked pretty cool too.

Maps looks very cool. I might have to flip the orientation to make it work where I'm putting the Razor Coast in my world, but looks like it will work!!

thanks

I guess it depends. The store I'm at has two groups going (and its getting larger) every Saturday.

Yes, this time around you team up and create the set of encounters. Then one of your number runs it for another team while the rest play through a rival team's creation.

Have they released the locations for the US yet? It's barely a week away and I'm not sure what stores are participating.

Nope. :-(

Still playing it..On Tides of Dread

i'm coordinating the event at the store I work at.

we can have up to 8 tables!

FYI,

I am the new Events Coordinator at Dragon's Lair on Fredricksburg and Medicial. I would love to see a PFS started here. Please let me know if you are interested in running or playing in this,

thanks,

Is is a musical? Awesome!

I'm really looking forward to this 'play w/in a play' format/adventure. Chaosium's Tatters of the King has this concept of incorporating a play into the adventure, but this adventure takes it to the next level where the Players are part of the Play!

Reminds me of Karazhan in WoW where the PCs are on stage to fight a sub-boss in the Theater Room.

Halflings. Hate them.

i so want to join this, but want to sign up as a senior. maybe I'll do regular and upgrade...

Cool! Thanks for the feedback. One more Question...do you NEED the Great City supplement to run the adventures or are they just recommended?

So...how similar is this to CoT?

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better: Bacon!

I joined up. Very excited!

Very excited about this. Most likely will pre-order it!

cool. shoot me an email. what days are good for you?

Getting a game going is harder than I thought. Have sent emails. Would be good to hear from some of you.

Will there be a print-on-demand option for Razor Coast?

Bump to keep it near the top.

I would like to start a Pathfinder game or run regular Pathfinder Society at Dragon's Lair on Sundays or Saturdays.

The smell of the new rulebook...mmmmm...

Only 3 copies left at my FLGS.

so is the current pdf the corrected pdf? I keep hearing mostly really good things about this book, and would like to get it, but don't mind waiting if corrections need to be made still.

I'm trying to get a group going for either Pathfinder Society or some Adventure Paths at Dragon's Lair. Maybe Sundays.
my email is mactaka@yahoo.com

so warlock still gets the 'one-button push' power at will?

While the new map is pretty and stuff, it has nothing on Sandpoint, Magnimar and Korvosa maps.

It's a very nice handout and illustration, but it's impractical. WTB a "normal" map.

yah...started reading through the actual adventure, and really like it so far.

so what's it like? anyone get it?

Just query on 4E FR. What are people playing in Forgotten Realms Campaigns, the New Timeline (after spellplague) or the 3.5 Timeline?

I don't know if this is a problem with controllers per se, but as far as wizards go, the party I currently play with avoids wizard classes now mostly because their AoE's damage allies as well as enemies while those of the leader/defender classes do not.

Honestly, I'll be interested in seeing how this plays out. I will be interested in seeing if they decide to do the "full reset" or if they try to continue the story of previous editions.

They are resetting to the original boxset in timeline, with novels not being canon.

that's pretty cool. i loved that adventure.

the beauty of 4e is that it's pretty plug and play. If you don't like the 4E offerings as far as adventures go, then convert old ones. the design of the monsters makes substitution of 4E monsters for their 3.5,etc equivalents pretty easy.

I'm running the 3.5 module Shadowdale still in 1374 DR, and have been able to use the encounters pretty easily, substituting appropriate level encounters but easily keeping with the monsters and themes as written, with a few twists here and there. (lvl 13 Paragon).

I also ran Steelheart (2nd ed. Dungeon adventure), and was running the group through encounters in the Hillsafar chapter in Mysteries of the Moonsea.

i actually really like the map of Westcrown, now seeing them in the print copy. They give me a sense of dimension about the city and topography that is hard to do from a flat, bird's eye view. I have detail enough, and I like the period style-poetic map. It reminds me a lot of the poetic maps from Harn from years ago and historical maps (like someone shared of 1500s Venice).

the tiefling article is excellent. that's the only one I've read so far.

can't wait to delve into the adventure itself.

If I wrote Pathfinder 2.0, you'd only use the 3-18 ability scores at character generation, and thereafter everything would be based on the ability modifiers only. One less thing to derive, over and over again, on the character sheet and every monster stat block....

Ready for any questions when the Trial begins you fine fellows...

anything different from the old Spinward Marches material?

i thought this thread seemed familiar!

lol!

Austin...too bad...I run a PFS game monthly in San Antonio at the Dragon's Lair there.

Don't know about San Antonio but the Dragon's Lair in Austin is just 100% gamer heaven.

I missed it since I was away on vaction but my FLGS, Dragon's Lair in San Antonio ran Free RPG day very well I heard with multiple Eberron Games, Pathfinder (I'd of run a demo if I had been in town), Dark Heresy, and Geist.

I don't think you have any grounds for supporting that kind of statement. I think that, in reality, it's exactly the opposite case - most Realms fans are playing the Realms in 4th Edition, but I have no real way of backing this up.

(we're c. 1374 - Zhent invasion of Dalelands)

Tiefling have always been around, now you can play them. You could play them and genasi before 4e.

devas = aasimars

dragonborn are from Chessenta/Unther area

Mulhorand,still exists

Lathander = Lathander, etc

sure, i've been converting old 2nd ed (Steelheart) and 3.5 adventures (Mysteries of the Moonsea, Sons of Gruumsh, Cormyr, Shadowdale), but it still works.

Austin...too bad...I run a PFS game monthly in San Antonio at the Dragon's Lair there.

This AP looks hella awesome!
