Can anyone tell me what other adventures are in this story arc and what the right order to play through them is? Thanks!
CruelDM 10-14-04, 10:40 AM	Dust of a Dead World is APL 4, clearly not an introductory scenario, so I must assume you arent using this in the Living Greyhawk campaign world, but more just for home play fun. According to the Adventure summary link off the RPGA website 2 other scenarios show up as the Ether Threat story arc, part 3 COR3-02 Return to the Isles APL 2-12, and part 5, the conclusion, COR3-12 Endgame APL 6-14 (a 2 part scenario). Parts one and two do not show up in the search, possibly year 2 scenarios that have been retired, and part 4 also doesnt show up, maybe Endgame is actually part 4 and 5 together because it a 2 part scenario? I am unsure because I have played none of these. The requirements alone would prevent most of the players in our local gaming groups from ever playing Dust of a Dead World, seeing that "PCs must possess one of the following to participate in this adventure: 4 ranks in Knowledge (the planes), the Golden Tome of Alcanix, or the Keystone of Kilypsis". The description of this scenario also fails to designate what part of that story arc it is or even that its part of that arc, so I have to take your word on it. Hope this helps you out.

"Ether Threat" Series Escape From Tenh (COR2-11) Into the Dying Lands (COR2-13) Return to the Isles (COR3-02) Sepulcher of the Wizard King (COR3-10) Endgame (COR3-12) Echo (COR2-08) was related but not an actual part of the series. In order to play Dust of a Dead World (for real LG credit), a PC needs ranks in Knowledge: Planes or special items found in some of the above mods. Shawn

Yep. We're trying it out in a home game just to get a feel for what the setting is like. ...tons of great info... Hope this helps you out. It does. Thanks!

SteveMND 10-14-04, 04:11 PM	FWIW, it's illegal to distribute RPGA mods outside the auspices of the orgnization itself. I don't know if that's your site or not, but either way, I wouldn't suggest posting links to bootleg copies of the modules on an Official RPGA/WotC board...
powell01 10-19-04, 07:30 AM	Well I guess that answers a question about I had about whether you could use retired modules for home play. If it is illegal to distribute them, it makes it kinda hard, illegal and pointless to try.
