Looks like fun.....
Tons of fun, and when played with the new occult classes, perhaps even better.
Pouncin' on that free stuff. :)

Glancing through this I'm really enjoying reading through the adventure and I look forward to running it. I do however have one point of contention. While I really like the idea of handing players the first five handouts and letting them decide which order to play them, the increasingly respectful tone of the letters does imply a growing relationship with Dr. Quolorum and it seems most immersive to hand out the letters one at a time and run quests in order.

I do agree that running the adventures from beginning to end can create one of the best experiences for your players. However, in the interest of making this easier to play out of order and facilitate any number of busy schedules, the quests are playable in any order.

That's perfectly reasonable, John, but I feel that's more of an out of character conversation to have with the players before starting than something I would want decided in character. That and while with Silverhex doing the last entry mid way through play seems viable I can't see doing the last chapter of Phantom Phenomena anything but last.

Just finished running today's session. Had 6 players originally signed up on Warhorn but only 3 showed. Played through Lightning and caught the attention of two passers by. They sat down through Harrow and Manor before they had to take off. Finished Monolith, University and Epicenter with the original three. Everyone survived, had a couple challenges (including an extra BBEG in Monolith) and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Working as intended =)

I have a question about applying credit for this quest.
The section at the beginning of the document says
Does this mean I cannot apply the chronicle at all to any character but a brand new first level character with 0 experience? Or does it just mean I can't, for example, complete 3 parts of Phantom Phenomena, play a separate scenario, and then come back and finish Phenomena?
I am GMing it. Can I apply the GM credit to a character level 1 with 2 XP?

Yes you can, so long as the character is 1st-level when you apply the Chronicle sheet. You could, in fact, play all of The Silverhex Chronicles, receive credit for Phantom Phenomena, and then play Honor's Echo (the upcoming quest series) and apply the credit to the same character. After that, though, you'd have 3 XP and be 2nd level.
I noticed you listed Silver Hex first in your list, is Silver Hes still listed as needing to be the first chronical on a new player, or is this the new standard for quests; that the character have less than 3 xp to receive credit for them?
If I could mark this as FAQ-worthy, I would.
