My Shackled City AP game is due to kick off next week. I've decided to base it in the Wilderlands of High Fantasy campaign setting (originally by Judges Guild, rereleased for 3.5E by Necromancer Games). The only question now is where to I stick Cauldron and the surrounding area on the Wilderlands map?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Olaf,
I did a post on this about a year ago ummm here it isSpoilers ahead here
As you can see I put Cauldren on the Isle of Blest (hex 4402 Map 14). I never posted the other adventure conversions as it was more of a 'in my campaign' than any real generic Wilderslands conversion. With the Wilderlands being what they are you really don't need a careful conversion to fit in with canon!
Cheers,

Thanks for the suggestion Just-A-Troll. I've decided to place the campaign in the Barbarian Atlantis. I'm still tossing up between a couple of spots but it seems to have a lot of jungle there as well as a decent mountain range.

No prob's Mr Stout, the main reason I chose Blest was to help keep the party contained and focused on Cauldron and its environs.
Are you planning to run the adventure as writ? or are you going to have a stab and injecting a bit more Wilderlands in it?

Placing it on the Isle of Blest definitely does keep the party contained and focused on Cauldron and the surrounding area a lot more.
I plan on mainly running the adventure as written, although I will be giving the players a bit more background information on the Wilderlands setting. I really want to get across the unexplored and dangerous nature of the setting, how most communities are isolated from each other and the dangers of overland travel. I don't really want the players to go on a big hex-crawl though. I'd rather they stuck to the AP storyline in general.
How did your campaign work out? Is it still going?

A werebaboon ripped out the tongues of all my PCs.
As we were getting ready to roll up new characters two of our players found out they had to go back to Indonesia, so we set SCAP to one side and played several one offs till they left. SCAP is on the back burner for our newly forming group.As for Wilderlands flavour, I went for a science fantasy angle what with the airlock style doors, Automations and changed some of the illusions into non-magical holograms. It worked a treat and the players lapped it up.
At the end of the first module the party travelled to Rallu to buy some magical kit. There they encountered the wand purchasing high priest and had a run in with the monkeys that infest the abandoned temple of Hanuman.
They hit the Lucky Monkey on the way back where tongueeater was a blast (if bitterseat what with the TPK and all) even to this day they don't know what he was. They all think he was a monkey demon of Hanuman.
Let us know how your game goes.
