Im really looking forward to reading this adventure. It kind of reminds me of the novel "Riptide" by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. |

What makes an adventure a "Last Baron" adventure? I do kinda wish the Pathfinder modules were more divorced from Golarion. I don't mean ripping out every reference, but definitely making them more stand-alone and "setting neutral." -The Gneech |

What makes an adventure a "Last Baron" adventure? I suspect its so it can serve as a sequel to that scenario if you wish, out of curiosity how setting neutral do you want it to be? As I'm reading through that Last Baron scenario at the moment this sounds like a good addition. |

Well, it's a tough question to answer precisely because it's one of those "know it when I see it" kind of things. But a good example might be the "Dungeon Crawl Classics" line (at least the 3E incarnation, I haven't seen any of the 4E stuff) ... except for a handful of modules specifically tied together (e.g., "Blackguard's Revenge" + "Iron Crypt of the Heretics"), most of the adventures don't go into much detail about the surroundings except as necessary for the adventure at hand. However, there is a "DCC world," which was written up and published as a hardcover IIRC, which -can- tie all or most of the modules together if the GM desires it. For whatever reason, the setting of Golarion just doesn't interest me much, and so for example all the space used in Gallery of Evil to talk about the city of Absalom is wasted on me -- if and when I use the module, I'm just going to port it into my own setting. -The Gneech |

For whatever reason, the setting of Golarion just doesn't interest me much, and so for example all the space used in Gallery of Evil to talk about the city of Absalom is wasted on me -- if and when I use the module, I'm just going to port it into my own setting. I think your best bet, then, is to stick to the Dungeon, Event, Journey and Wilderness lines, which is most of them. While there is world flavor in each of these, I think that the actual setting can be ported to whatever setting or homebrew world you'd like. Carnival of Tears can take place in any small town where they might have fey nearby and a traveling carnival comes through town. River into Darkness can be on any jungle river. Demon Within could be anywhere that knights fight demons and hold back the forces of the Abyss. The equivalent of Dragonfall could exist in any world. Even the Urban adventures can be placed in other cities. There's nothing so specific about the Ivy Disrict in Absalom that couldn't exist in other large metropolises. But any time you are taking something from one world to another, you'll need some creativity in making it fit seamlessly. |
