Hello all,
I'm about to hand over Thornkeep to a friend of mine to run at his store, and when he asked me for a player's guide to help his group of newbies build their characters, It occurred to me that for a module of this size, I have found very little in the means of player support.
I want to be able to hand over a decent handful of player aid, and would very much appreciate any suggestions the community might have!
Now then, to begin.
It seems that this module was built with a particular focus on rogues, outlaws, and mercenaries as player characters, and that rogues, rangers (with goblinoid favored enemy), and at later dungeon levels, wizards, all seem to be in focus. A cleric would get some good use early on and later in the arc, but not as essential as in other modules? (I could be missing something about that one, though). There's also a lot of npc interaction and lot of knowledge local rolls.
Any other suggestions?
I'd be interested in this as well.
In fact, I was looking over the hero lab files that are available for the community and I can't find them. Does anyone know if there are any hero lab files available out there somewhere for Thornkeep?
Thanks :)

As for a player's guide... Thornkeep isn't really designed for new players specifically. There might be other better introductions for new players.
That link didn't seem to work for me! Am I doing something wrong there? :)
Also, since this appears to be a thread about Thornkeep, I thought I'd just ask here - The Dark Menagerie is lvl 5, yet Sanctum of a Lost Age is 7. Do you play those out of order somehow when running a campaign, even though one is above the other in the wrong order?

Better late than never. The Campaign Traits in the guide are mostly homebrewed, so double check with your GM as several are slightly more powerful than normal traits.
