The hooks are fine. I spread them out around the party and I think it might lead to some good character stuff later. For example, two characters have the "Make A Map" hook - but neither of them are any good at mapmaking, nor have any interest in it. I reckon they'll end up trying to get other members of the party to do it for them...
I've also side-tracked my group into doing the Into The Shadowhaunt Adventure from the worldwide D&D day, as an introduction. We should get that run through next Monday, and once we do I'll start posting a story hour of my own.
Ah, Dr Midnights story hour. I think I remember your work from my time lurking on the story hour forums when I was in my last year of high school, a scarily long time ago (6 years). I printed this out and read it in bed last night and I'm quite enjoying it. I love the feeling of knowing I will see these characters grow into mighty badasses. Where can I read your other stories?

This is my first venture into a Dr. Midnight story hour.
I am deeply impressed sir. I'm going to enjoy this one.

To read the whole Knights of the Silver Quill / Knights of Spellforge Keep campaign: http://tommartinart.com/kotsq/tales.htm
To read it with ENboard reader comments: http://www.enworld.org/archive/index.php/t-220.html
Be aware, though, that it doesn't start getting good (writing-wise) for several chapters.

Hey, great stuff, Dr. Midnight! Glad to see you throwing the module off its rails a bit.
As in useless? Pretty much. I've stripped all the setting out of the module and am running it as part of a larger campaign for my group. I dig the locations, and the set-ups for the fights, but the rest of it, not so much.
I like what you're doing with the additional NPCs. I think the module as written needs some of that kind of attention. Sounds like you have a great group there, I'm looking forward to the rest of the SH.
Also, nice illustration! Is that pen-and-ink, or are you still working with vector art?

Hey there (contact), what ups? I don't see you around much in the circles I run in. Good to see you.
Berak is, at present, the only thing I really added / changed. The scene in the market square cut off a scene that was supposed to take place by the module, and that I improvised around (which is fine, of course). I really do plan to run this one very closely to the written text, only adding character motivation and a few small details here and there. I like the taste of this adventure... 1st level adventures often are just my flavor.
The group's cool so far! I'm excited, this has real potential. I'm still not planning on having this be a large campaign, for now it's just the module, but if things keep going like this I'll push to expand.
The illustration was brush and ink, largely, with the pen filling in the finer details. It didn't really turn out the way I intended but meh. I've got another one coming up.
Oh, and hey, did anyone know Lathan is spelled Lathon? Because I certainly didn't. Whoops... gotta go in and correct all that.
