First adventure readers please

[RangerWickett]

We'll be going to layout pretty soon, and I wanted to share the text of the first adventure to get some comments from GMs who might end up running the campaign. Could I get two volunteers, please?

It's about 35,000 words (though 6k of that is stat blocks) -- longer than I planned, but there's a fair bit of exposition to do at the start of a long campaign. I'm hoping it doesn't get come across as unnecessarily wordy. And while I plan to do some more playtests of the combat encounters, I'd like thoughts on whether they sound exciting.

Oh, to clarify, this is for the 4e version. Only once I've got this one settled will we work on the Pathfinder conversion.

*raises hand* Looking forward to the AP.

I'd be happy to help you out. My group will definitely be playing through the AP, so I'm very excited about it. As a former English major, it will be fun to actually put some of those skills to use.

Am I too late?

I'm guessing it's too late to throw my hat into the ring here, but I would love to get a sneak peak at a campaign I will almost certainly be running with two different groups.

 

[Colmarr]

Oh god yes, PLEASE PICK ME!

I'm helpful, really. Remember the treasure thread

I suppose 4 sets of eyes wouldn't hurt. Okay, could each of you please email me at ryanznock@gmail.com? I'll reply with the document. I'll send it as a .docx file unless you need me to do otherwise.

Woot!!

Done.

Other than the specific request for feedback on whether the encounters seem exciting, is there anything in particular you do or don't want us to look for? Spelling/grammar? Typos?

And what's the deadline for the feedback?

 

[SteveC]

Sounds good. I've emailed you. I'm looking forward to it.

Colmarr, if it's OK with Morrus/Ranger, would you mind posting some thoughts either here or on Astral Sea? I got hooked on your SoW encounter reviews. I'm mostly interested on how the Zeitgeist encounters compare.
