Hi, people.

I was just wondering if anyone can offer feedback on the SCAP newsletters I have submitted to www.therpgenius.com, namely the Cauldron Echo. I'm looking to give it some more depth and your views will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I really appreciate them. I was able to use #1 "As Is". I liked how you kept them general enough for others. The Cauldron Herald is nice, too, but I appreciated the "Two Page" look when I passed it out to my crew.

Unfortunately, I won't be using #2, because I'm running from the magazine, not the hardcover, so I don't have Drakthar. If you can continue making them general, I will be able to use most others, I think.

It might start sounding contrived to avoid naming the adventure party or characters, but I don't see how to get around that. The best I can suggest is script poor relations between the "Reporter" and the party (especially if the reporter is pumping the Stormblades). Then you can have the reporter deliberate ignore the party's own name for themselves to generate something slightly condescending. (I'm thinking about James Jonah Jameson, for some reason!) Otherwise, any adventuring party is going to wonder at the disinterest.

I like how both yours and the Herald make go use of foreshadowing. Your Concerns about the Flood Festival article made it easier for me to add other NPC's with concerns, so I know better how to pitch the hook (which won't be for at least another session).

Thanks!

Hi Orcwart,

Your Echo is great and in fact I'm stealing a lot from it for my own Herald. My players love it.
I also use it sometimes to foreshadow events/people.
Txs a lot and continue.
