mbeacom wrote:Hey Hal,

All done going through interludes. Thanks for the opportunity to take a look. I'm Ready to write a review (will also post it on my blog: Huntersquarry.com) but wanted to clarify a few things.

1. Am I reading this right, that in a module entitled "Brief Expedition to Bluffside", the players never actually make an expedition to Bluffside? Or is the villiage of Kirkwood and the nearby Grove where the adventure takes place considered "part" of Bluffside? I just want to be clear in the review and not being familiar with the setting, I wasn't sure what actually constitutes Bluffside.


2. There seem to be some ommissions. I'm not sure if I got an incomplete PDF. In the adventure, there are references to APPENDIX 4: New Creatures Appendix 6: Prestige Classes. Neither Appendix was present in the PDF I downloaded. This also means that there are no actual stats for monsters like Rakers or Rippers. There is also a reference to APPENDIX 1: New Stuff (about the Raker poison) however that APPENDIX does not exist in my copy. (I want to know about the Poison!)

3. Multiple references are made to the Bluffside campaign setting source book. Is that currently available?

Also, just want to make sure this is accurate, "It was written by Jeff quinn, converted by Peter J. Schroeder and published by Samurai Sheepdog."

Thanks for the opportunity.
