An RPG Superstar dungeon adventure for 10th-level characters

Glimmerhold, an ancient dwarven city-kingdom, is under attack! A casual dungeon exploration has unleashed a host of hideous monstrosities from deep beneath the earth that threatens to destroy Glimmerhold. The ancient dwarven city has a dark secret, one that may turn the players against its rulers and force them to make the ultimate decision: save the city of Glimmerhold, or destroy it!

Written by Christine Schneider, the winner of Paizo’s first RPG Superstar™ contest.

The map of Glimmerhold was omitted for lack of space, but you can download it here, and read about it in this entry in the Paizo Blog.

Pathfinder Modules are 32-page, high-quality, full-color, OGL-compatible adventures for use with the world's most popular fantasy RPG. This Pathfinder Module includes four pre-made characters so players can jump right into the action, and full-color maps to enhance play.

ISBN 13: 978-1-60125-125-1

Congratulations, Christine!


Way to go Christine! Having read the adventure proposal, I can't wait to see this in print.


CONGRATS!

(January 2009... So is this adventure going to be 4E OGL, or 3.5E OGL?)

Andoran (Pathfinder Adventure Path, Campaign Setting Subscriber)

Way to go!!

I would "pre-order" to show my support, but I am already a GMM subscriber. Looking forward to this one very much.

Congratulations Christine!

Great job. I was pulling you even before I was eliminated :)

We'll get back to you on that!

Qadira (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber)

Very cool to see this one posted out here already. Congrats Christine. I'm not a high-level adventure fan, but I'll be ordering this one just out of principle. And the desire to read the fleshed out version of the winning proposal.

And congrats Paizo. The Superstar thing was fun and inspiring to read. Hopefully you've found a new author for more forthcoming projects.


Well Done and Good Luck!

(Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber)

Congratz and pre-ordered ! Only 10 more months to release...

*heads for the time-machine*


Congratulations, Christine!

(S-series = Superstar series?)


Congratulations. You really deserve this.


Way to represent, Christine! Its about time a righteous female created a kick-butt adventure! Hell ya!


Woooooot!

You said it!

Represent!


Congratulations to you! I will most assuredly be pre ordering this one!


Congratulations, Christine!


As a testimony Christine's talent, before I realised this was the winner of the Superstar competition I saw it listed in the Product Discussion forum and thought, "Wow! That title sounds cool! I want to buy it just on impulse!"

I'm not normally an impulse buyer so, coming from me, that's saying something.

Of course, having actually read what the module is about just means that I'll definitely be preordering this baby.

Amazing effort, Christine. You deserve all the praise you get.

Andoran (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Roleplaying Game, Campaign Setting, Companion, Modules, GameMastery Maps Subscriber)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Can't wait to read it!

-DM Jeff


Bravo!

(Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber)

Congratulations!


Waitaminnit here. This idea is nothing more than Moria, from Lord of the Rings, with the names changed to protect the innocent ... and multiple monsters instead of just one Balrog.

Does this mean none of the other finalists had an acceptable & more original idea?

Just curious ...

Did you read the actual contest submition?


Yeah, the sales text above is the short-short-short version of the submission. If you go here you can read the entire submission which is nothing like what you said at all.

Yes.


Well done!


Congrats, Christine! I am so excited about this adventure! I voted for this mission so now I'm "putting my money where my mouth is" and pre-ordering! I can't wait to drop this into my campaign and see the reaction of my players!

No, of course not ... but the lengthy synopsis above makes it sound very similar to Moria of Middle-Earth. Can someone who *has* read the submission please explain what makes "Clash of the Kingslayers" different from Moria? Besides the multitude of monsters?

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Christine!

I am looking forward to this and other publications of yours.

Cheers,

Well I'll be turned into a toad ...

I'm sorry - it was never made clear that submissions were *publicly* available. I thought only Paizo employees running the contest were able to do that, for copyright reasons.

I worked Internet copyright abuse issues for a long time ...

So, by extension now, are all submissions, in all rounds of the contest, also available? Both winners and losers?

Thanks for the correction!

And special to Christine:

Congratulations from this curmudgeon on a winning (and highly original!) concept.

;) :-p

Taldor (Pathfinder Charter Superscriber; Pathfinder Battles Case Subscriber)

LOL. You must have missed the entire contest. Scroll to the top of this page and click on the RPG Superstar logo. You should find all of the entries from all of the rounds (except for the round 1 losers). There is lot of good stuff there. Happy reading!


Gratz Christine!

look forward to it.

Cheliax (RPG Superstar, Contributor)

Hi everyone (and of course many thanks again :P ),

I'm now definitely certain that the adventure will use the 3.5 rules. So save a few 10th level characters until January and break out all the nasty PrCs combos you can find, I'm trying to make sure that they'll be needed.

Taldor (Pathfinder Charter Superscriber; Pathfinder Battles Case Subscriber)

Sweet! I can't wait, Christine. I'm really looking forward to the finished product. Your proposal rocked!

Trent

Edit: And so did all you other entries.

Qadira (Paizo Superscriber, Pathfinder Battles Case Subscriber)

Sehr Gut

Just make sure that any groups which stray too far from the '4 person party, 1 Fighter, 1 Cleric, 1 Rogue, 1 Wizard' golden ideal get mashed into tiny little pieces and fed to the lake monsters...... :D

Late last year, and into early this year, Paizo ran the RPG Superstar contest. Of 800-or-so entrants, Christine won.

Here is your answer.

Qadira (Paizo Superscriber, Pathfinder Battles Case Subscriber)

What does the "S" stand for in "S1". "E" for event, "W" for wilderness, "J" for journey, etc.

Cheliax (Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Battles Case Subscriber)

S stands for "Superstar".

Seriously.


Does anyone know where in Golarion this module will be set?


When will we see the real cover art for this piece?

Assuming it remains dwarf-centric and James didn't veto that, my best guess is the Five Kings Mountains, but that's just a guess and I've been known to be wrong from time to time.

Probably several more weeks. We're still a few days a way from posting the finished cover for the previous Module.
