I posted this earlier - but for some reason it isn't posted - so if it appears twice later, I apologizie.

I'm new to the message board - but not new to either magazine (subscriber for 8 yrs now). I just bought the hardbound adventure and am looking very much forward to running it for my players. I have spent much time already sifting through so many of your wonderful posts.

This issue of the backstory has not been discussed that I could find, so perhaps someone could help explain it.

First it talks about Adimarchus being in love with a paladin Athux - but it seems they're both male which I understand there's nothing inherently wrong with that in today's age, I just wansn't prepared for such a story to be present in a Dungeon Magazine quest. Unless I'm missing something about the relationship in question...

Second, the backstory skips from that to the story of the Cagewrights. Both seem completely unrelated by just reading the backstory. Is it discussed and detailed later in the book as to the relevance behind the former story? I'm trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together in my head to start planning to run it, but I can't seem to find the link yet. If it is detailed later in the book, please tell me where I can read it, so that I can better understand everything. Once I do understand it better, it would run much more smoothly I believe.

Thanks in advance for any help, and I do look forward to sharing and reading future posts about this campaign.

books not in front of me, but im pretty sure athux was in female form at the time, as he is the son of grazzt and do that =)

I'm guessing that while it is in the magazines, Age of Worms is ment for 4 characters, same as most of the other adventures. However, if/when it comes out in hardcover, it will be tweeked enough for it to be ment for 6 characters. It's what was done with Shackled City and I don't see why they won't treat Age of Worms any differently.

Ok, thanks

I know the Shackled City is designed for 6 Characters, but does anyone know how much AOW is designed for? Help would be great, thanks.

I suppose that my reference was too vague. Look again. Last sentence at the bottom of the first column of page six. Replace the word "Athux" with "We", and "Adimarchus" with "you". Do you see it now?

On a totally unrelated subject, how good are you at solving puzzles?

terrible, why? =P

-- Athux

I don't see a reference to Jenya there?

Yeah, I didn't see it either

Thanks

In case anyone cares, in one session the halfling cleric of the party falls from grace of first Wee Jas, then St. Cuthbert, and finally starts calling Cure light wounds "Give them a beer" as a cleric of Olidramma =)

In the handout section, it mentions that you can download the handouts for the players and print them out instead of cutting them out of the book. Can somebody point me in the right direction , preferably before 9:30 am PST tomorrow? Thanks

thank you =)

I placed this order, and it says it shipped with 5/5 items, including 4 Dungeon Magazines, and the Shackled City hardcover book. I got it today, and there was no Shackled City, only the magazines. Can i get an update on this, as it is baffling me.
