Crypt of the everflame is a great starting module. It also has 2 sequels if you like it and want to continue with that particular story.

I started GMing with Crypt of the Everflame, and things went pretty well with that. I was relatively new to gaming at the time, and I hadn't had the benefit of ever playing with a truly great GM before, so I was stumbling every step along the way, and it still turned out all right.

But I would raise a caution flag before jumping into Masks of the Living God. I really liked the module as a whole, but I had no idea how to run the module, and I really, really botched it for my players. The PCs wind up on a really strict schedule in the game, and I was completely clueless how to present this at the table, and the whole thing became a bit of a mess.

But if you've played enough to know how to handle this issue, go for it. I wish I could comment on the third module, but unfortunately my group disbanded after MotLG.

I dunno about sales, but sending a copy to the editors of Locus is about the best thing you can do to be officially recognized within the SF/F publishing community.

Having worked at a Borders for the past two years, I know that there's enough wrong with them to not really be sad to see them (or much of the publishing industry) go down in flames. As for the SBC, that's owned by Starbucks and will be around for a while, whether Borders survives or not. Finding places that will still make Javanilla Shakes, however, might prove difficult, but even in the worst case scenarios, I'm sure you could readily find any number of disgruntled former baristas who will clue you in on the exact recipe details for making one of those. *wink*wink*
