I have played in a Sheldomar Valley meta-regional mod where one goes into the the land of Sterich ,but the RHod Faq says that that RHoD counts as access if played a Core mod.

Please solve.

RHoD is not a regional or metaregional adventure, even if it's set in the Sheldomar Valley. So, it looks like it can't count for Sheldomar Valley metaregional access. :(

05-16-07, 09:40 PM The really fun question is when your PC has gained the title of "Lord Dire of Sterich," which you could get by playing SHE5-03 The Prophet's Voice. The title gives you "free standard upkeep during any adventure set in the Sheldomar Valley metaregion." As has been pointed out, Sterich is part of the Sheldomar Valley, but if it is a Core mod set in Sterich, does it still qualify as being in the metaregion? The technical answer might be no, but it seems to me it would be pretty silly to have the title of Lord Dire of Sterich and not get the benefits in Sterich.

For in-game benefits, it becomes a DM call. I'd imagine most would give you the benefits of a Sterich title for any adventure set in Sterich, and what not...
