islestrike wrote:Nothing is weird about it if that's what it is. Maybe I am the one one who misinterpreted what's on your site. But it does say under Shadowcrag that the "project is closed and not available to the public". Under Steam and Brass it says "not available to the public in any form..." Also under Steam and Brass it seems to suggest that you don't have any control over the work, but rather you are bound by what the original "patrons" want to do with it. That is weird if the adventure is a really good one and you could bring it to a larger audience instead of writing it for a few "patrons".Anyways ...sorry if I got it wrong. But I wasn't the only one. Maybe look at what it says on the website and look at it from the view of the casual 1st time visitor.Best Regards

There are a few things that puzzle me though since this topic has been brought up.1.Why has he decided to post here on this forum now, with few words and no introduction? (Dont get me wrong, Im excited and intrigued)2. His website is a lil bare, vague and confusing about the products and sponsorship: Is the format available only through PDF? or is there going to be a physical printing of the work?3.Rob Kuntz has had a great response and sponsorship of his independant physical publication of modules (I believe as a direct result of the acaeum website and forum) I have sponsored 2 of his projects and have been very happy with the product and overall quality with the minor exception as to the shipping procedures.Thes are just my humble opinions and observations..

If it actually *wins* the ENnie award it has been nominated for, I may attempt a larger printing. But that's something that I'll talk about with the project's sponsors if that unlikely event should come to pass."Okay, I just joined as a member for the "Empire of the Ghouls", but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to pick up the POD for Castle Shadowcrag. Help?

islestrike wrote:Actually I read the beginning of it yesterday and looked more closely at the 20 levels. It actually looks to be quite a good donjon afterall. The thing I found interesting is the whole concept of linking the historical timeline to successively deeper levels of the dungeon. It's kind of archeological in finding deeper more mysterious things from the past the further you go, until you hit some antedeluvian age on the 18th-20th levels. At least that is what is implied. I looked at levels 18-20 which were pretty good.The productions values aren't too shabby either. I noticed art from Steven Poag, Brad McDevitt, and the maps by Jeremy Simmons, the same dudes that work on the DCC line. I'll read it some more tonight to see how it holds but I'd be interested to know why you think it is just an ok donjon. How does it compare to what is in the First Fantasy Campaign? Is that any better?Cheers!
