Does someone have or can point me to the Read Aloud text for the latter chapters. I'm up to Chapter 8 now so really only interested in stuff for that Chapter and onwards.
I'm adding SCAP to MapTool and being able to add read aloud text into clickable info boxes is a real bonus and I don't want to type it all in from the hardback by hand!
I've picked up what was on RPGenius already but the bits of text on there seem to have run out by Chapter Eight.
Cheers!

Hey, most of those text type-ups on RPGenius were submitted by yours truly. Up to chapter 6 I think, if you got 7 it was probably from another member on this forum (Steve?), who also supplied me with that chapter. He actually uses text recognition software to cut and paste from PDFs, which I haven't been able to duplicate. I have the big book, and the PDF's, but have been going the old school route and typing (very slowly I might add).
I'm running my campaign on openRPG, which requires a lot of cut and pasting of pre-typed text during game sessions.
I offered Steve a type and trade deal, but I haven't started yet. Maybe we can give him time to sound off, then the three of us can all produce one of the remaining chapters, and share our work. What do you say? Some of the chapters really don't have a lot of pre-typed stuff, which leaves me to anticipate a bit of the action, so my texts often have extra material. You might be able to use some of it, and can throw out what you don't need.
Also, don't know if you've stumbled across this yet, but this guy has done a lot of good work for online play using maptool.

Howdy. I'm the Steve mentioned above.
I am currently running Chapter 8 (Lords of Oblivion), and have a little more than half of the 'read aloud' text done for that chapter. Unfortunately, the original Dungeon Magazines did not have 'read aloud' text for any of House Rhiavadi (except for Thifirane's speech and some minor locations), so i had to type all of that by hand.
I am struggling a bit with the idea of posting my House Rhiavadi work to RPGenius for the sole reason that i do not wish to share information presented in the Hardcover with folks who are running the SCAP strictly out of the magazines. I'm the guy who posts with the alias "BUY THE HARDCOVER" whenever someone asks if the HC contains more information than presented in Dungeon. My whole point being this: Paizo did a heck of a job on the Hardcover, and they deserve every penny of the price of that book (which, i think, is a lot cheaper now than when it first came out). If you're devoting the time and energy to running the SCAP, then you really ought to shell out the cash for the Hardcover, in my opinion.
That said, i would happily share my House Rhiavadi 'read aloud' text with anyone that is running the SCAP from the Hardcover. I will also be posting both the text and images for chapter 8 on RPGenius when my work is complete (minus the HC only text).
I've got the HC, some of the mags, and damn near everything in PDF as well. I bought the HC because I liked the adventure so much, and mags get worn down pretty quick. To be honest, I really haven't gone over differences in the mags and the HC too much, and from time to time I will run a session either exclusively from the HC (when I don't have access to my own comp) or from the PDFs when I'm on my computer, at another location (wifi cafe or something). The one big difference I've seen, which strikes a point for the mags is the listing of lighting, sound and auras for each encounter. I'm not sure why they kept this out of the big book, because it saves a ton of time. What's more annoying to a DM than a character that detects magic on almost everything, AND wants exact schools, etc? Well, with the mags, it's no problem. The other thing in favor of the mags....what's cooler than Dungeon Magazine?!? As cool as the SCAP HC is, nothing beats having a few extra side-trek style adventures within arms reach.
OK, think I'm getting off topic here....
Shimrath, I still owe you a chapter. Name the one you want, and I'll get started on it.
