Also, I noticed that issue 115 has a warforged displayed on it. What's the scoop? Is this, too, an adventure that I should pick up for my Eberron campaign? Also, thanks to everyone who's been posting on my other thread for my campaign at http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=406387 I'll be able to post more info on that thread shortly, I just have to write a paper for my WRIT 121 class! :) -3nigma EDIT: Added a Q about issue 115 as well :)

Issue #115 has a scenario set in Sharn. I haven't had a chance to play it, but I've heard it's good. Judging just from the art on the first page of the scenario, it looks like some sort of detective scenario, which is always a good thing.

Darrek 04-04-05, 06:59 PM	Issue #111 has the official Lord of Blades writeup. A minor (but in my opinion, very cool) quibble. This writeup of the Lord of Blades is not "the" official writeup. In fact, I don't think it is official at all. The idea of His Sharpness is that he is a variable opponent, scaled to be a challenge to the individual PCs in YOUR (Or my, or his) campaign. He will likely have more writeups as time goes on, each every bit as official as the last.
Losdeago 04-04-05, 07:26 PM	OKay...So...Does the Lord Of Blades have a real name like, Bob, Joe, Etc....'Cause this Name reminds me of StarCraft...You Know Queen of Blades...Man I got off topic quick...

Urko 04-05-05, 11:28 AM	The adventure in issue 115 is called "Steel Shadows," written by Keith Baker himself. It's a who-dun-it about a crazed killer in Sharn targeting warforged itself. I haven't run it but it's a good read. I actually found the social ramifications of the murders more interesting than the mystery itself.
