Some time ago myself and some friends began playing through the Rise of the Runelords AP. However, life interfered and we ended the game before Hook Mountain. A group of us are now trying to get a regular gathering going again and I have been granted the DM reigns.

I would like to return to the RotRL AP, but a number of players from the former group are in this group. To save us the repetition I was thinking of using Kaer Maga and The Godsmouth Heresy (module) as a starting point. Then I would follow it up with some of my own ideas/adventures. Then when the party is level appropriate I can lead them to Hook mountain.

Is there any major issues with this change? Are there any hooks or important NPCs from the first two books that need to be represented with Kael Maga versions? Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I got to play through this adventure with Paizo's own Phil Lacefield this past weekend at The Great Canadian Baycon convention! I had a blast! Its a fun low level romp with lots of challenges and some great plot hooks. I would recommend it to friends who were interested in it for sure. I got to look through the module afterwards it was full of colourful maps and portraits. Reminded me very much of DUNGEON magazine's layouts.

Anyhow I had a blast and Phil sold us on the module line. These will be worth picking up!

I really like this adventure! I think that this may spawn a viking type campaign for me and my group. Really like the story in this adventure and all though it may borrow elements from Beowulf and Lord of the Rings it only make me want to run the adventure more! I can only hope that Kevin Carter will give us another adventure for Jotsplat and Bowenwar's struggle. (Hint Hint)

Thanks Dungeon you made my day when I read this one.
