I was just going to let you know that Eric Boyd brought up to the members of Candlekeep that your adventure was very well written and served as a good introduction to a Serpent Kingdoms campaign. I thought that I would check in with you to see if you wanted to stop by Candlekeep.com to discuss the adventure with the members there. The consensus so far has been that its a very well written piece, though a few of us may want to pick your brain about the thought process behind dropping a Baron in the middle of Featherdale.
Hope to see you there (and hope you frequent these boards as well)!
Thanks for the invitation. (This is Sam.)
I'll be certain to drop in.
I can't promise I'll be writing that much in the next few weeks (as a finishing Master's degree candidate, and specific to this weekend, hosting an out of town guest) but I'd love to chat a bit more about some of the things that were floating through my head and bits that got cut to keep the module at a reasonable word count.
That's great to hear . . . glad to hear you are up for some discussion. Today the administrator is having some technical difficulties, but I beleive that this will be straightened out pretty soon.
My friens is currently working on his Masters in Aerospace engineering, so I completely understand about the time constraints.
Thanks for the reply!
In case you want to zero in on that particular thread (there is a lot of discussion going on within the site) here is the link:

I just wanted to add a note saying I enjoyed this adventure. The Yuan-ti are my favorite D&D villains. I'm planning a campaign where they will be the chief architects of the villainous plot the adventurers will have to deal with. Even though my campaign will be set in Greyhawk (my favorite campaign setting), I own Serpent Kingdoms and was borrowing lots of info from it. "Within the Circle" is of great use to me as well. Thanks for writing it and making it easily adaptable to other campaign settings. Good work!
I'm just curious as to why this fell to the bottom of the last and the last post listed isn't in the thread. Idle curiosity . . .

It was my fault (sort of). Due to a forum bug I posted to this thread by accident (meant to post to a different thread). And so then I had to suppress the superfluous post, which caused the thread to drop to the bottom of the list. But at least it wasn't randomly archived (which happens with depressing frequency). So sorry for the general suckyness of the messageboards. The web department has promised they will be fixed soon.

Echo that.
I'm about half way through the adventure and am surprised at both the similicity of the plot and adventure but also the depth that is there.
This is one great start to a campaign!
Good work, and good luck on that Master's. I got mine about 13 years ago and should reallllly get my rear in gear and get that Ph.D, but...well...
Thanks for the compliments, guys.
Careful, though - keep this up and I might just write again!

Hey, darn well better!
I just finished reading the adventure and would love to see what you do for a follow-up!
As I said, the beauty is in the basic feel of the adventure and the added bonus of more to come makes this a wonderful way to start a campaign.
