I was talking with my DM and he has the Hardcover book, but he says that the sidebars about scaling the adventures isn't in it. Not wanting to ruin my fun by flipping through his book, can anyone tell me if the sidebars are in the book, or if there is someplace he can download all the sidebars.
thanks in advance...
Nope, not in the book.
There may be sidebars in some of the free downloads elsewhere on this board (I took a quick look and couldn't find the download section); in any case, your DM should be able to purchase a PDF of an issue or two for about $4 apiece; a couple of those should give a pretty good idea what's involved in scaling the adventures to fit. They mostly involve adding or removing a few monsters here and there. However, bear in mind that the magazines were written for a 4-character party, and the HC is for a 6-character party.
And, they didn't scale up the maps when they did that. So, if your party is larger than 6 PC's (particularly if a ranger or druid has large companions), I strongly suggest scaling the map & corridor size up a notch as well, otherwise a lot of the fights are going to feel like waiting in line for a ride at Disneyland.
