Hi all, this is sort of a weird question to be asking, I guess. I'm a first time GM and our Session Zero/Prologue is this coming Thursday. I wrote my own intro and 3-part introductory arc because I wanted to be ready to go once the game came out. Strangely, the Muse album "Black Holes and Revelations" thematically lines up with the entirety of this arc - not necessarily lyrically, but the feel of each track follows the emotional throughline. My question is this - should I tell the players this? On the one hand, I don't want to "spoil" anything. On the other, I think I'd be cool, sort of setting the tone for the adventure, especially since they are a pretty musically-inclined group. Yeah, I know things never go as planned when running a game and I'm sure something'll go very right or very wrong and they'll derail my "album," but I'd like your thoughts.

I'm also going to have each player give me 2 or 3 songs that reflect the feel of their character, not only so I can connect with them emotionally, but so we can have a fun Spotify playlist or something. Thanks.

It seems I can't send you a PM until you create a profile.

Should be able to now. Thanks.

Hey all. So I am going to be running a game and I'd love to use the Sunrise Maiden map as my players' ship - I've been writing my own intro campaign but have been using Incident as a reference tool. I only have the hard copy of the book and don't necessarily want to spend the extra money for the PDF (I got on the Adventure Path subscription too late to get part 1). I was wondering if there was a way to get a high-res version of the ship map that I could then get printed out at Staples, making each square actually one inch, that I could use as a more permanent map for my players. I don't have the artistic ability to draw the ship each time, and obviously I don't want to leave the ink on a mat too long, staining it. I did think about scanning the back page, but I'd really prefer not to break the spine of the book. Thanks!

Thanks, everyone. I was really hoping as sort of a pre-release bonus that we'd get the PDF as soon as it was made available. My group is very anxiously awaiting the game's release (aren't we all??)

Sorry if this has been asked before (there's a lot to sort through) - if you get the subscription, will you get the PDF August 17th, or do you get it when your physical book ships (I won't be at GenCon to pick it up in person)? I just signed up for the subscription and it says "Will be in your downloads once shipped". I was really hoping to get the PDF as early as possible because I'm going to be running a game (my first time GM-ing ever, too), and if I get the physical book and the PDF at the same time, it seems like not much of a bonus/head start. Any help appreciated, thanks.
