The most wanted one for me right now is an AP that's 100% urban. No jumping to countryside and back, no planar shifts... Just pure city. Absalom would be nice but any other bigger city would do.

Megadungeon sounds great too - my players love dungeons like nothing else for some reason... And I would love to see what Paizo would come up with!

AP set in Tian Xia FROM THE BEGINNING and all the way through would be also great at some point but I will be happy with Jade Regent for some time ;)

I would love a sequel to the RotR AP sooner than another oriental adventure. A different Runelord or possibly the already mentioned possibility of going back to time just before their fall.

Also, NIDAL sounds like a fun place to visit!

And I know I am quite alone on this one, but - Pirates? Seriously? Meh! Who cares? I mean wenches are nice and all but pirates are not that great IMO ;P Vikings all the way! Snow, bear fights, sleeping in heaps of fur and still freezing... - winter themed adventure here I come!

I am an accessory who*e so my first impulse was to say I love this kind of product. But then I thought about it for a little while longer and I would like to say this:

• if there are only already published maps in the folios, I do not see much sense (esp. if the tags/doors/traps whatever are still there)
  
• if there are cool new maps or far superior maps (poster instead of a single page, high quality maps without DM stuff, extra new locations/venues of the AP...) - that's what I would be looking for
  
• map folios unrelated to APs, thematical like the one with cities (I think) being prepared - great idea because it means more new maps/background/setting details and in my book, there can never be too much of that ;)
  

Please excuse my English, it is really late here and I am very tired, but I felt like adding my 2c...

tried again

is CZ=Com?

Yes, CZ is a top level domain just like COM. I use Czech Republic's domain 'cause that's where I live ;) So far I have registered only vlcatko.cz domain so that's where you should find me :)

Alas no luck this time either :( And my spamlog did not even register any attempt - are you sure you wrote the address right?

Joey, I am afraid I did not get your email :( it might have been swallowed up by my SPAM filter or something. Would you please try once more? ;)

vlcatko ...... at ...... vlcatko ...... cz

And if it doesn't work you can always try emailing it to tintagel (see his post above) :)

vlcatko if you can give Jeoy Virtue your email address, he can mail you the Word doc, you host it and put the link up here and I add it to the list.

Ah silly me, I could have written my email in the first post XD Here goes: vlcatko....at....vlcatko.....cz

Hah hah hah, Drakli :) Are you an American by any chance? ;) (No offence intended of course :))

Because I am an European and I have always thought that Varisia and the whole Inner Sea Region was an almost perfect "copy" of Europe ;)

This is a great example of the phenomenon when everyone sees what is closer to him (if you are, indeed, an American ;))

If someone would be willing to host Joey Virtue's Word document I'll add it to the list or else point to the thread.

I could do that :)

Thank you so much for your amazing work! Your conversion blog is going to save me A LOT of work and worries (being a relatively new into the whole D&D bussiness - I played several RPGs when I was younger, but this is my first time with D&D AND being a DM ;) - I am not really confident with all that math ivolved in converting encounters and esp. monsters :P)

So thank you! :)

As for the Keeping the Keep article - I think it has a really great potential and I am looking forward your side-trek interpretation of it - I have unfortunately decided to base my PCs in Sandpoint so having the Keep as their base is kind of out of the picture (I know I can change my plot hooks and rewrite the pre-prepared parts but I do not really think my players would be very keen on keeping the keep - I am stuck with powergamers and killers for the moment ;P)

So transforming the Keeping the Keep part into a side-trek can really work for me. So far I was toying with these ideas:
1) When first searching through the fort, PCs find a clue there might be a hidden stash of unspecified richies. By following the lead, players have to solve a number of mostly intellectual encounters (I was thinking along the lines of Challenge of Champions from Dungeon Magazine issues 58, 69, 80, 91, 108 and 138 - to give my players something else than hack and slash they so far prefere...), maybe throwing one or two fights into the mix or maybe a skill challenge.
2) One of my PCs a ranger who has just started to look for his beast companion (is that the right term?) - but I do not want him to just go to the market and say "Is this snow wolf fresh?" ;) So spotting a rare animal pack/herd whatever in the surrounding of the keep may be a good reason for the PCs to transform the keep into a temporary "hunting lodge" - and if they do not want to hunt and tame the companion, they can still make profit from selling/killing/using the rare beast (I don't know, maybe rare ritual components or reagents or something). I always wanted to do a hunting adventure - woods, tracking, foraging... I think it might be a nice longer-term skill challenge with some fight encounters inbetween...

I do not know if my ideas are worth anything, I just felt I would like to show my support and passion for what you do ;) Also, please do excuse my English, I am not a native speaker ;)
