What miniatures (if any) do you use for the game? Any pictures?

Has anyone master maze stuff for Cauldrons dungeons?

My friend has a set and it is really cool, we might get another set by all chipping in some cash, it tends to be expensive.

Do you think you could make the first couple of dungeons from Lifes Bazzar using this product?

I have a new problem :)

Please could you help me out, i am at my wits end!

I have three players who have already written their backstories and all three have an interest in the Bluewater/crater academy because of the excellent libary there.

One player is a cleric with the scribe profession, another is a minor noble whoose family has a vinyard, while the last player is an elf with the teacher profession.

(One player has taken proffession: teacher, while the other has taken proffesion: scribe etc.)

The scribe is also the 1st level cleric of Pelor I mentioned in another thread, he makes money part-time scribing documents and notices for locals to help the shrine of pelor stay afloat and produces tracts for pelors faith, handing them out to people on busy market days.

Oh yeah, could anyone tell me if clerics (and the temples) have to pay taxes? What sort of priviliges do holy people get in Cauldron?

Anyway, back to my problem:

The blue crater academy is a place of great learning for the wealthy of the region and has extensive libraries that only a select few (DC:30 diplomacy check plus 500gp membership fee or a bribe of 2000gp) can visit. So it looks like its meant to be a "goal location" the players can only get into later in the campaign.

I kind of see it as the rich people who own the academy wont want the peasants learning too much, as knowlegde is power etc.
Also it seems a bit like the academy would be the equivalent of been run by a secret society like the free masons or something?

But anyway, since seeing it on the map all three of my players want to be allowed in there, the elf teacher says he would be allowed because hes a teacher and it makes sense as he also works at the academy as a lecturer.

The cleric of pelor wants access because hes a respected man of the cloth and the church would have access to it anyway, and his profession (scribe) would require him to be able to use the library whenever he wanted.

the last player (being a minor noble) says she would have been educated there and her family can afford the membership fees no problem.

AAAaargh!

So will it affect the campaign a whole lot if the players can walk in and out of the library whenever they want? The books in there allow a +6 bonus to knowledge checks!? I think thats a little too big of a bonus at first level?

How can I come up with reasons for them NOT to be able to use the library yet so it can still be a goal for them to aim at later?

im gonna put cauldron in the realms because the group im gonna dm for likes Faerun best.

Toril uses a different cozmoligy than greyhawk, not the great wheel from the DMG, so where should i put Carceri in the realms cozmol?

A player of mine has decided to play a young cleric of Pelor in our campaign, serving under the struggling Kristof Jurgensen . I will start Lifes Bazzare soon but first I have a minor problem to sort out.

While looking through the hardcovers chapters we noticed that the local shrine of Pelor had an accident months ago, last spring the roof colapsed and the highest ranking clerics of Pelor were killed, leaving poor Kristof Jurgensen all alone paranoid and distraught.

Problem is sometimes the information in the book says three clerics were killed (the timeline on p13 and on p24 under the shrines description), and sometimes in later chapters(p95 in Flood Season), it says that only two clerics were killed, so which is it? Two or Three dead?

My player and I need to know so we can write appropriate background material before we kick-off the campaign.

Also what where the deceased clerics of Pelor called? How old/what race were they etc?
