[QUOTE="Ed Cha, post: 1693716, member: 10972"] Hi, Brandigan and Mikedidthis! I just noticed this thread and I tried to PM you, Mikedidthis, but you can't seem to receive private messages. Anyhow, thanks for your interest in "Hamlet of Thumble"! It is the first in an adventure setting series for "World of Whitethorn". I'd be curious to hear your experience with the module, Brandigan. Please let me know how it went! Hairy Minotaur has a great playtest review here: [url]http://www.enworld.org/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=active&reviewer=Hairy+Minotaur&product=WoW1THoT[/url] There is also a fantastic review and playthrough results posted at Silven Crossroads by Lance Kepner here: [url]http://www.silven.com/adnd.asp?case=show&id=302[/url] As Crothian suggested, I'd definitely recommend reading the modules thoroughly prior to running them with your players. Basically, the "Whitethorn" series is a modular, "open world" concept in which players are encouraged to do whatever they want and go wherever they want. At the same time, the DM is able to use parts piece-by-piece as he wishes. Let the PCs take their time and wander around. Sometimes the best adventures happen from side encounters. You'll probably find the "Possible Dialogue" lines helpful when PCs interact with NPCs. You might want to look at [b]"Village of Oester"[/b] ahead of time, if you plan to continue with the series. It was just nominated by the ENnie judges for [b]Best Adventure of 2004[/b]! If you need to order the books at a discount and get free Priority Mail shipping within the U.S., just PM me. I know a retailer who can handle all that. [/QUOTE]
