[MEG-AU] Siege on Ebonring Keep---Exposed!

Re: What worries me is...

"To take you from lvl 1-5 in the Diamond Throne Setting, compatable with most d20 settings as well.
Theme Boxes, tweaked for AU special setting, new creatures, items, feats and more...."

Compatable with most d20 settings makes me a little nervous. I guess the main question is, does this book require the Arcana book from Malhavoc Publishing or is it a self complete work?

Sounds pretty sweet though.

With tweaking you will not need AU BUT it is made for AU so to use it as is, and understand all of the cool extras you will need AU. It is different and the stat blocks will show you that, but if the adventure was something you wanted to run a 3e campaign through, Monte will have suggestions on how to "convert" any differences. I have read the book and my suggestion will be use it with AU, cause AU is soooooo cool!

I am going add to what Hal said to clarify a bit further. Because of the amazingly unique qualities of AU, it will be a bit harder to simply transfer the adventure to, lets say, Forgotten Realms.
Monte has some fantastic new rules that play into the rich history and cultures he has developed and we took full advtantage of all that history and rules development to make "Siege" an immersive book that will seriously get you into the setting for those starting up campaigns.

Like our large DS books such as Raw Recruits, we are creating as much background detail as makes sense and we used the "interulude" parts to really explore some of the very uniques aspects of the AU/ Diamond Throne setting.

As a side note, we worked closely with Fiery Dragon as well and I think people will be really pleased with how we have taken from what FD is doing as well so the two books are cohesive. I love these colaborative efforts. It really demonstrates the true power of the OGL and its flexibility, allowing publishers to work so closely together and still feel as if we are not really competing for the same dollar but rather enhancing a product to bring more gamers to what we are all creating together.

I think we will be fine, as Doug posted we will "be prepared" worse case we sell 'em and ship them after GenCon. Our goal is to have enough for the entire con, but prove us wrong , please!
