Hmm. My alternate idea for this game was a grapple-specialist dragon disciple.

Be interesting to take a shot at the frost giant reaping mauler...

-Hyp.

Tossing out the map of Sterich from the Paizo WE for 117. Um, if that's a problem I'll remove it. Just thought it might help some?

OMG! Now you will know when I fudge the travel time between Kragmere to Istivin Crossing!

Seriously though, I would advise not looking at the rest of that web-enhancement ... it will spoil your appetite for RP fun. Remember, the joy is in opening the presents and being surprised. If you already know what's inside, where's the fun?

I do think I'll make it to 12, yes =)

And as for Greyhawk, although I know lots about it, like, all the salient overview PHB type stuff, I know NOTHING mapwise/gazetteer wise. So its all new to me! =)

It's mostly the maps to the other adventures in the issue - though I think it has a map of Istivin in there too. I was just looking for a good map of Sterich, and guess where the pointers to the best one were? I've captured the map of Keoland from the Keoland thingee now too, and I'm looking for a good map of Geoff to use. I might end up stitching them all together and revising them to work together for the game (and just because, y'know, I'm like that - soul of a cartographer).

OK, I'm writing the first intro post. Just to start your brains working, figure out a reason for being in the village of Fitela in eastern Sterich at the beginning of Fireseek, 585 CY (see map in James Heard’s post above). Here's the situation:

Giants, ogres, and orcs have been pouring out of the Jotens and Crystalmists for two weeks, and much of south-western Sterich is already believed to be overrun. The border forts along the Crystalmists, completely unprepared by the size and ferocity of the assault have either collapsed, or are being besieged and on the verge of collapse. The enemy is believed to hold the southern banks of the Davish river as far north as Reluse, and on the northern banks has captured the village of Poignard. The forts along the Jotens north of Mittleburg still stand, but have begun reporting greatly increased movements of humanoids and giant-kin in their vicinities. Earl Querchard, in desperation, has just called for a general evacuation of all of western and southern Sterich. Local militias are to assist in this evacuation and not, repeat, not confront the enemy unless it is to protect the evacuees. All members of the militia and general army currently east of the Oyt road are to converge on the capitol for further orders.

In addition to the terrible news on the western front, this is one of the worst winters that anyone can remember. Deathly cold winds have been blowing off the mountains, carrying with them much snow and ice. When the winds die down, the sound of giant trumpets and the baying of winter wolves can be heard in the far-off distance.

Fitella looks like it will need all the help it can get to get the people evacuated. As a self-appointed saviour of the people, and a young, and possibly still naive young lady, it would appear I am there to save as many lives as I can, while listening to the Earl's Edict.

So here's a question for anyone who is a bit more tech-savy than I am. I know I can copy bits of PDF files using the "Snapshot Tool". But where do I copy them to so I can save them as JPGs or GIFs? I'm running Windows XP, and don't have photoshop or anything fancy like that. Any ideas?

Paint? MS Word?

You can copy them as either, really, or RTF, or whatever. I use Photoshop, so I snapshot, click new in photoshop, and paste, but MS Word is equally good. You can even do an export into word, and it'll ask you what format to export it into.
