[QUOTE="bowbe, post: 3033157, member: 6328"] At the risk of being overwhelmed by emailings or de-railing the thread any... For the folks who have Bards Gate there is info on the necro mssg boards on how to contact me and get even more supplemental materials if you have the product ID. Go check the threads under BG and you can find the info on how to get the additional product support. Our webmaster has sort of gone missing. Nobody has seen or heard from greenpiece in some time (has anyone over here heard from him?) we are sorta worried! Thus I'm sort of handling product support for BG personally till the webmaster situation gets squared away. Bard's Gate is fairly close to the Stoneheart Mountain Dungeon (Tomb Of Absythor) and not horribly far from RA... plus there are portals there and about to get from BG to RA. BG is sorta the center for Necromancer Games' Bermuda Triangle of Evil. The other point of the triangle being the much talked about (and much played) but as yet unpublished Sword of Air. Thus BG is very much intended for use as a home base for the two published adventures of the triangle (RA, TOA). Many of the locals have lore about both places, but their "rumors" are gleaned not from charts but from getting to know them through RP. Interestingly one of the main developers of Lankhmar edited a great deal of BG for us (Anthony Pryor)... I hear Anthony is doing some really cool things right now that I am not at liberty to discuss! To shill some other great city books however... CSIO is very good (at being very EVIL!). Thus if you have a party of less than good aligned characters in your gaming group, CSIO works very well. Freeport is great (better than great) for seafaring adventures. I love the original chaosium Sanctuary product and used it for years. I had the City of Greyhawk boxed set too and I agree about the map but really dig the content of the books. Ptolus is simply awesome but has so much of its own going on as far as campaigns and adventures that using it as a base for non Ptolus stuff seems a waste of very good Ptolus. (If that makes sense?) I teased Sue all weekend at Gen Con about what a great imagination she has and what an awesome job she did writing the thing! She still swears that it was all Monte's idea but I think we all know better right? Bluffside is also very cool and very original. Yggsburg is awesome for C&C and the old AD&D players that need a great city penned by the man himself. As others have said, using it for 3.5 requires a touch of work if your a slave to "perfect 3.x edition stat blocks." I'm not so much one of those so it works well as an alt city for my guys to visit from time to time. I'm not so much the big fan of Waterdeep and never have been. I guess the whole bit about "such and such NPC will always be at least 5-10 levels higher than the highest level PC in your group" bit they used to include turned me off of it and FR in general and always did. I dig why other people love it though, because I loved all the computer games like Shadows of Ahm ect. ect. Anyhow, sorry for any derailments and hope that this helped. Peace Casey [/QUOTE]
