As you can guess by the name this thread is for the Australians
I just found out that this Years Spring Revel convention in september will be held in Melbourne and they will be running a FR Legacy of the Green Regent module UNDERMOUNTAIN!
Quote from RPGA Forum
XGR3 - Undermountain
Premiere - GenCon Indy (Jul 2004)
Special Event - Spring Revel Downunder, Melbourne (Sep 2004)
In Waterdeep, the trail of the Green Regent grows as cold as the snow and ice that encases the city during the winter months. That's until a bard's song draws you into a Castle Quarter feasthall. The song is about a tattooed orc who recently descended a well that sits in a tavern called the Yawning Portal. Will you brave that adventurer's graveyard called Undermountain in the hopes of finding Otar?
Main event tables include pre-printed battle grids, Dwarven Forge MasterMaze dungeons, and a full array of D&D Miniatures.
So a question would any of you guys be interested in playing as a group?
GeorgeK?
Sage?
LadyK?
Domestic Air fares are pretty cheap these days.......

I plan to get indoor heating and cooling. But not soon enough.
Maybe I should have spent my hol money on and reverse cycle system instead.... then again probably not. I'd take a hol anyday over some energy consuming device. |

Oh, I have indoor heating. Although it does little good here upstairs. It's why I had to purchase a portable system...

Some of us are lucky to have indoor heating and cooling. I'm one of the unlucky ones with my fingers frozen to the keyboardddddddd |

Be glad that you're only catching the end of our winter here. It's been particularly cold this year, more so than it has been in a long time. I'm chilled to the bone right now, and I'm sitting on a gas heater...

I'll keep two eyes open. Hopefully by then it'll be warmer. Coming from a summer climate to a winter one is killing me. |

as of now, only the first two LGR modules are available for download for herald gm's.
They have some rules you're supposed to follow when running official rpga games, like 4players and the gm must be rpga members (or fill out rpga registration cards there), if your run more than two rpga games you need an official, or some stuff like that, your supposed to keep track of points and mail them in, ect. But it seems they don't keep track of it closely, let alone enforce it.
~ChosenOfVelsharoon
last time i was involved in an rpga event, we only ran one of the three modules we ordered. |

Sorry for the delay. There has been no luck. My 2nd machine needs more then a spare fan. I thought I caught it before the processor fried, but that is not the case. I find myself between jobs at the momment, so the $$$ to get a used processor is not there. I won't be able to look for a while.
I DID find something, though. Just a few days ago I found out that there is some sort of package being sent to gaming stores. It has a few printed up Green Regent modules and some minis that go with the storyline. I'm told that it isn't a regular product, but it is sent to gaming stores and might be available for purchase if you ask the owners. That's all I could get from the guy who had it. The modules were printed up in the same format as that free one from RPGA. |

Confound it...
I'm heading over east tonight, but I'm only going as far as Adelaide on this trip (I'm hoping to finally find some time to drop in on George  ). I'll likely won't make the Friday schedule...

Please, try not to promote the wizardly workings of kazaa and its particular brand of sharing here in the halls of Candlekeep. Let us instead steer this back to the topic of the gathering in Australia. |

If I do get them, then they will be available for download from my machine.
hmm ok
The RPGA modules arent that long, you could probably Email them (I couldnt see them being more than 5 MB a piece

I wonder how hard it would be to find copies of the "special events"?
you might find some on one of the File Swapping networks like Kazaa.
Tell me if you find any |

And here I thought this topic contained the long-buried secret that the bottom level of Undermountain (if you go reeeaaaallly deep, taking Belkram's shaft to the bottom) is Australia. :-)
