[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 4619782, member: 12731"] There are several sloppy design mistakes in the Scales of War (though nothing a DM can't fix). The worst must surely be that this 4E campaign is based on an adventure, RHOD, whose primary suggested location when used with Forgotten Realms, [I]has been wiped off the map[/I]! That is, if you ran RHOD in Greyhawk or Eberron as instructed, you're fine (I guess, I actually have no idea). But if you ran it for the obviously best fit (just compare Elsir Vale to 3E Channath Vale and you'll see what I mean), you're basically screwed if you then wish to start up Scales of War for your 4E game. [B]Because then there is no Elsir Vale![/B] That spellscarring has obliterated the entire Channath Vale and everything around it for hundreds of leagues! As I said, this isn't something a DM couldnt fix. But it sure would have been nice if Wizards didn't force us to say "uh, you know Elsir Vale right, well, it never was in the south, close to Shining Sea... instead, uh, it has always been located here instead..." Personally, I'm running Elsir Vale in Channath Vale with 4E rules but with 3E geography. This will possibly get difficult if the players level up enough to get any insight into the mix of new and old gods, but that's a later headache. Nevertheless, thank you [I]so much[/I] Wizards for both wrecking and using this campaign location at the same time..! [/QUOTE]
