World's Largest Dungeon?

[jim pinto]

Hey Jim, when are you AEG guys going to get out of the lock box and visit some of the local stores?

if you read my previous post, you'd see that i'm working
on a saturday to get this book done. i just finished
editing 50 Rooms for Region I and they rock on toast

Cover is a AC bonus, concealment is a percentage and the last section of concealment does allow a variable percentage from 1-50% for total concealment

correct
i mispoke, but i understand the difference
nonetheless, 3.5 seriously simplified this system

From what I saw over at Gama this product looks to be very cool, although a $100 price point is going to be difficult to push.

(As a note, when we saw you at stateline after Gama were you headed to Vegas for the "Friday event"?)

yes. and erik says you're a big jerk for not going.

his words. not mine.

talk to him.



i won $175 on single deck blackjack in 30 minutes.

The pragmatist in me says I'll never play it - why get it.

The little kid in me says, "OH MY GOD! IT MUST BE MINE!"

Not sure which one to listen to at the moment.

The child says get it. The adult says...a third job? err...okay.

Based on what little I have seen thus far I will no doubt look it over AFTER buying book one. Book 2+...remains to be seen.

Wait... book one? book two? Did I miss something?

Hi Jim, I've been following this thread for quite a while, but a question has come to mind. We've got several maps that are 22x17. My question is what's the scale on the maps? How many feet to the inch?

Phrased differently, and more directly, how many square feet does tWBD cover?

*has flashback of the AEG adventure keep modules without scale nor grid*


AHHH! *wakes up*

I would hope they'd be 5' squares...


Chris (Hey, does the revised version of the Adventure keeps have grids and scales to the maps?)

Obviously, that would be best. My question really went, however, to how many squares per inch. From that, we can deduce the size of the entire dungeon.

we did the math on this thing... and i think its a full 2 square miles

but i could be wrong.

i don't have the maps in front of me, so i'll get back to you in a few
when i'm done editing today.

and yes adventure i and adventure ii, which compiled all the adventure
keep modules have all new maps with grids and everything. the books
are edited, cleaned up, and some of the plots are even corrected.

jeff ibach did the leg work on them and then i made them pretty.
sean holland helped on all the stat blocks and they are, in my opinion,
incredible adventures now that all link together somehow.

sorry for the obvious plug, but i'm really proud of those two books
and i'm taking everything i learned about adventure design and
putting it into these dungeons.

its amazing how different writing for your own gaming group is
compared to writing for the general public. i think to think about
every contingency, so the DM isn't left wondering why the
ghoul is hanging upside down above the bed frame. if i make
a mistake at home i can ret-con it in 20 seconds. if i make a
mistake in print, i'll never live it down, no matter how much
errata i print.

okay

that's enough soapboxing.

back to work

TWO SQUARE MILES!?! HOT DAMN!

Oh, and about Adv I... do the Mathorn (in Jerimond's orb) actually get a TEMPLATE this time? That adventure was a major one for my group early on, and that town is still one the PC's help out (over half of the population was killed off during the Mathorn ordeal). If they were a template, it'd make bringing them back easier (and deadlier).


Thanks
Chris (has every single adv keep module (directly through AEG, too), and doesn't want to have to pay again... but... will.... sapping... away...)

No, they are not templates in Adventure I.
