It's a big adventure and I suspect this will easily carry me into Gen Con. I'm going to beg some of the players to try and write a story hour. I did it for a few sessions of Siege on Ebonring Keep and man, it's work!One of the things I love about the last chapter, End Game, is that it has at least three different endings that the players can pick up and run with. Oh, and I am mistaken, or is the guy on the cover the master bounty hunter in the last chapter? Fantastic cover, captures the Frank Fazzetta feel of the old Conan covers perfectly. It is interesting thought that he comes in at the end. I'll probably make some editing and have the players hear about him. I mean for slaves, he's got to be almost legendary. I can see how the Empire itself wouldn't give two rat turds about him. "Yes, he's good but he's human! Disgusting! Move on to another conversation already."For terrain, I suspect that the swamp is really the only one I'm missing. I've got a lot of Dwarven Forge material, battlematts (specific color ones from Mage knight if I need them), Green Dragon Studio Dungeon Stamps, and all sorts of SkeletonKey Game Tiles. It just seems that Swamps are the only one I don't have. One crazy thing I may do is just forget about AoO and run it a little less 'grim' than either the Black Company or Grim tales are. Only bad thing about that is attacks/abilities like Cleave become a little harder to judge. "No, that reptile man was standing over there... yeah... that's the ticket."For the miniatures, I didn't even think of lizard men. But now that you mention it, Warhammer has a whole range of Lizardmen I may have to start messing around with. A little expensive to a point, but... I'm going to ambush my players with a request for cash to "add value" to the game. We used to do group minis but to be honest, I was the only one who painted them and these will be for a specific purpose. The Yuan-Ti as abominations is a good call. I'll have to bust out the Counter Collection Digital for some of those I suspect as I've never gotten one in any of my various purchases on D&D Minis. (In the voice of some little kid from South Park... "You bastards!")</blockquote>
