Hello everyone, I'm in a little bit of a crisis and could use some help.

I need scanned copies of some pages out of the hardcover book. If someone already has them, I would love if you would share them. I'm at work and don't have access to a scanner and need these pictures today to get some prep stuff out of the way with one of the players.

The pictures I need are:
Todd Vanderboren when dead in Wee Jas temple (page 209)
Spell Weaver coffin (page 214)

if anyone already has these or can get these to me, I would appreciate it very much and forever be in your debt.

You can email them to me at jfwallace (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thank you!


Hey all, I could use a little help.

I'm looking for an issue (of Dragon I think, but could be Dungeon) that a previous DM used for a game I was in a couple years back.

From what I remember of it, it was a guild of assassin's that had a headquarters under some island out in the middle of the ocean. In the headquarters were several portals that lead to other areas of the world, they could use these portals to jump from place to place rather quickly.

The headquarters had the portal room, several bedrooms, a temple, a lab, and a vault guarded by golems. I think there were keys to controling the golems that also were the only way to open and lock doors in the headquarters.

Further, to use the portals you had to have some sort of magical tatoo.

I know a few of the members of the guild. The leader was an evil priest. There was a female halfling assassin (I think her name was Amber, but I think it was short for something).

Also, I seem to remember some druid that they had killed to get access to this place and she was haunting the place and there was a big whale as well..

does any of this make sense or does anyone recognize this? It could have been several that he put together but I seem to think it was one article that had all this in it.

Any help would be much appreciated!


Hey all, I need some help please.

Does anyone have a scanned copy of the picture of the Cathedral of Wee Jas on page 206 of the hardcover? I thought I had a scanned copy of it and I don't and I need it for my campaign pretty quickly. I don't have access to a scanner at the moment.

If you do, would you please email it to me? jfw at bellsouth dot net.

Thank you!


Hey all, I'm starting up a new campaign for the Shackled City. I've not read the entire book yet (yes, I know, bad move, but excited about this module and wanting to get started), but I'm going ahead and letting the players create their characters and backgrounds. I've given them a great deal of information from the book as I know it so far and from other sources on the web.

I have two characters working on backgrounds that I need some suggestions on. #1: I have the characters roll up social class in order to get an idea of where they fit into the city and get an idea of their backgrounds. One of the characters rolled well enough that his parents are probably well off. He wants them to own an inn and run it in town. I know some inns would be bad for them to run, but am curious what inns would be ok for them to run? Just by looking at the names, he liked the Drunken Morkoth. Would that one be ok? Or should I just create a new inn and say they own that one?

#2: I have another character that is playing a Coutier (from swashbuckling adventures book). His character is from a well to do family and needs to pick a patron as per his class, a noble who has taken a special interest in him and is sponsering his development and advancement in the courts. He picked Lord Vhalantru as his patron. Should I discourage him from this, or should I just let him go with it and have Lord Vhalantru use the character to influence the group in future actions?

And suggestions on how to deal with this would be much appreciated.


Hey all, just bought the Shackled City HC the other night and I love it. It's a great book and I cannot wait to get going on it.

I've been reading through the posts here and want to say that it's really cool to have a group like this that is willing to help each other out on our campaigns. I'm also impressed with the RPGenius web page. It is very useful and I've already downloaded a lot on it. It is missing something though, and I have a request to make. I've already put this request up on that board, but thought it couldn't hurt to put it up here as well.

I'm looking for scanned pictures of the NPCs that are throughout the book. I know that Icebreaker has a download available on the other web site, but the pictures are a little small and they have a green border around the pictures. Does anyone have the pictures without the border and the same size as they are in the book? My group is a very visual group and it would help out with these pictures. I'd rather not just show them the module itself.

I could scan them, but hoping someone else has already done all that. :)

Any help would be appreciated.
