I must say, I got my money's worth just reading the thing. Well written, and a good flow. Now that I have buttered you up, a couple questions. My group uses no psionics, and as far as I know none of us even have the Psionics Handbook. I have studied the SRD section on psionics, and think I have a good enough grasp to use the powers included in OSM. I probably would not use any psionic combat at all. My group is experienced with previous editions, and will probably pick up that they are dealing with psionics pretty quickly. Still, I have not decided whether to handle it this way or just go the easy route and use magic. One plus to going the psionics route is that the adventure gives me a way to introduce psionics to the campaign. Not to spoil it for anyone, but if the PCs manage to destroy the source of the problem, I may say that the result is that everyone in the area is affected by this, and is now predisposed to psionics. So any PC who now wants to multi-class into a psionic can, and any new PC could simply come for Bellhold or have been visiting at the time and have developed psionics.I guess my questions are:1. Do you think there is enough meat in the module and the SRD to run the psionic powers effectively, without me having to buy the Handbook?2. What do you think of the idea of using the probable event at the end of OSM to predispose everyone in the area to psionics?3. I am scaling the adventure for a group of 4-5 PCs, all 4th or 5th level. I am replacing the goblins with Ice Ogres (which are just ogres with the cold subtype and few minor abilities thrown in). Does this seem appropriate? I may have to use some form of reduce towards the end so an ogre will fit in the small area required (trying to be vague).One last note that is pretty cool, I think. We game almost exclusively online, although our group started out in person. Some of us have moved, and we can get together more frequently using OpenRPG and the like. Because we won't all be in the same room, they won't even know that I am using a module, much less that it is OSM: A Psionic Fantasy Adventure. They don't read these boards or anything else to recognize the adventure, so they probably won't even know it was a module until I tell them afterwards (and give credit where credit is due).Many thanks.</blockquote>
