Funny, tonight should be our final session of FoF. I noticed that in another thread you mentioned some of your 'final changes' to the campaign. I'm curious if those are beyond what you've already contributed, and if so, if you think you'll have time to share them with the community here? Moving into the final stages of the campaign myself, i'm interested in making the ending as climactic as possible, and would love to hear what you have...Shimrath2010-03-26T23:30:13ZRe: Forums: Shackled City Adventure Path: Starting Chapter 10 - 13 Cages - Fiery Sanctum QuestionShimrathhttps://paizo.com/threads/rzs2klu8?Starting-Chapter-10-13-Cages-Fiery-Sanctum#22012-11-15T22:32:09Z2010-03-15T03:32:14Z<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>[Spoiler omitted]Shimrath2010-03-15T03:32:14ZRe: Forums: Shackled City Adventure Path: Map Help!Shimrathhttps://paizo.com/threads/rzs2kkeb?Map-Help#42010-03-07T20:50:22Z2010-03-07T20:50:21Z<div class="messageboard-quotee">Shimrath wrote:</div><blockquote> If you have trouble locating specific maps, just post here again and i'll happily help you find what you need. </blockquote><p>On the Life's Bazaar page, the maps you're looking for are:

<p>I am currently running Chapter 8 (Lords of Oblivion), and have a little more than half of the 'read aloud' text done for that chapter. Unfortunately, the original Dungeon Magazines did not have 'read aloud' text for any of House Rhiavadi (except for Thifirane's speech and some minor locations), so i had to type all of that by hand.</p>
<p>I am struggling a bit with the idea of posting my House Rhiavadi work to RPGenius for the sole reason that i do not wish to share information presented in the Hardcover with folks who are running the SCAP strictly out of the magazines. I'm the guy who posts with the alias "BUY THE HARDCOVER" whenever someone asks if the HC contains more information than presented in Dungeon. My whole point being this: Paizo did a heck of a job on the Hardcover, and they deserve every penny of the price of that book (which, i think, is a lot cheaper now than when it first came out). If you're devoting the time and energy to running the SCAP, then you really ought to shell out the cash for the Hardcover, in my opinion.</p>
<p>That said, i would happily share my House Rhiavadi 'read aloud' text with anyone that is running the SCAP from the Hardcover. I will also be posting both the text and images for chapter 8 on RPGenius when my work is complete (minus the HC only text).</p>Howdy. I'm the Steve mentioned above.
