Well, this is the perennial DM's problem when it comes to adventures with a bit of plot. Maybe that's way under pressure lots of us default to site-based, come-and-whomp-them scenarios? It's good to hear that perspective though. I think I might need to (ever so subtly, of course) prompt the...

Yeah, I was thinking that this is critical. It has a bit of fun for a round or two, then cuts its losses, beating it outta there (ensuring it mocks and berates the PCs first of course). Thanks

Fortunately (for the adventure, I guess) my party have neither a paladin nor a cleric, so detect evil is thin on the ground...

Crothian--did you suspect? Or was it one of those "something dodgy is happening and I don't know what it is!" things?

Thanks--I had noticed that map thing. WotC weirdos.... Interesting about the NPC attitudes. There is one PC in the party with a few ranks in Diplomacy, so this might be an issue.

Last night was session one for my party of The Standing Stone, the 3.0 WotC adventure for a 7th level party. I am hoping that anyone on these boards who has run this adventure will share their experiences: what went well, what went poorly, what could be better, what is insanely difficult for...

No, stop, please, I'm eating my lunch at the moment. Yeah, I'm being dull and unimaginative, I mainly wondered if I'd missed something.

Thanks--although I meant more where do they come from in the module? That is, how is their presence explained in the module?

Hellish I have an unrelated question--from where do all those hell hounds come? They are extraplanar outsiders, so I guess they don't come from "around these parts". Or have I simply not read some detail properly?

My Eberron party are also 5th, and RHoD is one of the two options available to them (they will have to choose next session). The party have been in eastern Breland: New Cyre and north-east of there in the Seawall Mountains. Consequently, that's where I've placed Elsir Vale: more-or-less...

I guess I'm lazy--I want more than this, but less than a full module!

Kinda. Not so much entire, discrete encounters; more the overview and plot info for a decent-sized module, without all the details. For example, for Forge of Fury done in this way, there'd be one para on the backstory, one of the geographical positioning of the stronghold, and one or two paras...

thanks Joe. Speaking personally (er, as opposed to speaking for Merric) what I'm interested in is something more than this, but less than a module. Wizards have similar 'seeds' in their 'Steal this Hook' section, but I'd like to see a decent overview of the idea, eg a page or two, but leaving...

Interesting Good post Merric. For a start, it surprised me, seeing it in black and white like that, just how much actual adventure-related stuff Wizards have put out. I'll stop whinging about their lack of adventure support! But you are right. What I think would be good is something that...

I'm not arguing from a position of strength (-2 mod?), as I haven't yet got Iron Heroes, but I have been pondering this also as I've read the previews over the last few months. I like Eberron very much, it's the setting I want to use for the next few years at least (new game started last night...

Thanks both--I shall post more appropriately if I have more questions. Just wonderin'...

Thanks MM One thing I've wondered about this--I realise that it can be run alongside the SRD system, but I wonder to what degree the SRD spells can be replicated using the EoM system? My thinking ties to adventures--if I want to run a published adventure, using EOM rather than the SRD magic...

How about a chase on the high seas? Kinda like the Master & Commander movie. Any may I ask, as someone to whom this campaign appeals, what's your "pretty good line-up of adventures'?

Don't put James Cagney in my head - I'll never get him out! The Cagney-Gnome... He was even short... I did not realise that. That is the stupidest thing I've heard in weeks. Thanks - I shall enjoy being mildly outraged by it. Thanks for the FAQ tip too. And as for the whole elemental...

Man, this looks like it's gonna be a blast! Can't wait for the review...
