Look, it's the amazing whirling editing posting circus! Lock this(or rather, prod Kuje or Alaundo to lock it); I'll go grab a fresh scroll from down the passageway. |

I agree. Although one thing I should do is a small rules cheat sheet on what in the FRCS exactly got updated in the 3.5 revision, even though I'm not sure whether that's more appropriate for your FAQ or this adventure.
I won't be including rule updates in my FR FAQ... it mainly focuses on lore changes, like the cosmology for example. I'd say stick with the rules cheat sheet for this adventure.

It also might be wise to incorporate setting elements that are by and large already well established and familiar to almost everyone with a working knowledge of the Realms. Since you want to keep it as an introductory adventure... that's the best bet for this.
Thoughts?
Okay, here's a really stupid question provoked by the fact that I'm in about three different headspaces due to multitasking right now: Can you provide examples of those elements?
Basically, what I'm referring to here are aspects of the Realms that have been around for so long that nearly every one knows about them or has at least heard of them. For example, and keeping within the scope of the original adventure described here... it would do to keep within the Realmslore established for the dwarves in such tomes as Dwarves Deep and other 2e resources... but include less dwarven details from updated 3e FR sourcebooks. Not everyone has access to such 3e resources, and therefore might not be too interested in an introductory adventure that uses 3e update dwarven lore as its primary basis.

Yaaay! Thanks to you, too, Sage.
 Well, I'm eager to see what you can come up with.

B) I say we start a brand new thread for this one.
Agreed. This one has a lot of stuff on the beginning that will only confuse possible contributors.
Right then.

Right. If you want to pick up on anything I just said above... quote it in the new scroll.
Kuje, can you bring a lock over this way?

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
