Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thomasson" data-source="post: 674461" data-attributes="member: 4929">I thought I'd answer a few more questions and post a correction to the adventure.First, the Adventure Path: Shackled City isn't set in an established campaign setting. We intended DMs to be able to insert it into their own campaign settings, whether Greyhawk, Realms, another published setting, or something homebrew.Second, the gods. We used the Greyhawk gods because (no offense to you Greyhawk fans), they're also kind of the Player's Handbook gods. Making up a new pantheon for the Adventure Path would have required a lot more explanatory text (as in the Description chapter of the PH) than we really had room for in a Dungeon adventure.Finally, the Adventure Path: Shackled City is intended to be used much as the first Adventure Path from Wizards of the Coast--as a series of modules that can take you from 1st to 20th level. We wanted to take it a step further, though, and build continuity across the modules so they form an actual campaign. Of course, the adventures can each be used individually--that's an important design guideline I set for each of my authors--but I think playing through the modules as a campaign certainly elevates the cool factor.Now for the corrections. I'm compiling a list of errata for "Life's Bazaar." We're committed to making this the best module series we can, so I'm going to be posting corrections and errata updates on our website as often as I can. I've already found a couple things myself (always a real slug in the gut when you're the editor, let me tell you), the biggest being Kazmojen's stat block. Some other folks have found some of the inconsistencies and pointed them out, but I'd already found most of them. I've posted the correct version below, and I'll be putting it up on <a href="http://www.paizo.com" target="_blank">www.paizo.com</a> shortly. If you find other inconsistencies or errors in the adventure, be sure to let me know (dungeon@paizo.com). So, here you go.
