I made an extensive player's guide for my now running SCAP game and there has been a little interest in getting a copy of it. The file is too large to upload to an email server so I'm wondering if anyone that might be interested would have an alternative. Perhaps a posting on theRPGenius.com? I dunno.
I'll tell everyone a little about what is in my player's guide to maybe help you decide if looking at it is even worthwhile. I used extensive amounts of information from other guides and resources on theRPGenius so I don't claim full authorship. I did, however, modify the information to make it mesh as well as wrote a bunch of my own stuff.
I have made extensive modifications to the campaign and setting to fit a feel that I felt was more in keeping with what I wanted and what my players might enjoy. I created the tropical region The North Coast and plopped it down in my homebrew as a location for this AP. As well I removed Cauldron and replaced it with a heavily modified but thematically the same city called Caldera. I felt that Cauldron the way it was presented stretched the suspension of disbelief a little too much. But I also want to mention that I didn't change what made the city a compelling and interesting place to adventure in.
For more on my homebrew check out the incomplete Campaign Setting I have posted online.

If the player's guide ends up being of interest to people I will gladly share my chapter by chapter conversion notes to adapt the campaign to my homebrew. For example, the changes I made to the first chapter include starting in Redgorge with a modified version of The Burning Plague free adventure and moving the Malachite Fortress from an underground dungeon to a dockside warehouse complex.
I'm presenting this to give prospective DMs the opportunity, if desired, to do something a little different with the campaign without changing what makes it so great. Or, if desired, some idea for alternatives that can be picked and chosen as desired.
Sweet. Some nice stuff in there, thanks.
In the interests of adding more information to this thread but hopefully not thread hijacking, I have added Cauldron into the gazetteer of my homebrew world:

Be advised that although there is a lot of information in there what you can see is all that the PCs in my campaign have discovered so far. For example, as I write this (after just 1 session) they have heard of the Stormblade and that they are led by Annah Taskerhill. They do not know the names of the other members yet, so they are not public in the gazetter yet.
The info about Cauldron and the surrounds is mostly as written with a few updates for my campaign.
Let me know if any of this is of use to anyone. And feel free to browse around as much of Rodinia as you want to while you're there.
Cheers

That could be considered hijacking th thread but it's all good. I always like to see other people's takes on things so it's allowed. :D There's some great stuff in there, thanks for sharing.
For anyone who is still interested you can get the Player's Guide here:

How did you make that clickable map? It's totally awesome. I'd like to make something like that for my homebrew website but right now I'm stuck with a blogspot page.

I picked up a piece of software off the net which does it:
Meracl ImageMap Generator. http://www.stockholm.bonet.se/meracl/mimg.htm
Its a really awesome aid for making image maps in really easy ways.
Oh, and I stole some javascript to do the auto shading of the links as you scroll over them. Search for a class called "mapper" and you should be able to find it.
The links then all just take you to entries in my mySQL database.
