Thanks. :D

Feb 22, 2009 13:40:30 The download button should work, once the March one becomes available on it, they fixed the issue February was having.

I wound up getting the PDF from two sources, both the fixed download link, and an email from customer service, as per another thread.

On topic, I hope that Chris used some of the new monsters featured in Dungeon Delve. There's a list of them in this thread: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=438840&page=2 .

Feb 27, 2009 16:02:15 What does WotC's record for getting these out early enough for prep time look like? I've sanctioned a Delve for March 7th (that's a week from Saturday) and am begining to worry about having the time necessary to get the maps prepared (I don't have Dungeon Tiles, and have to make a close facsimile of the maps in CC3 to print out). I haven't had a problem in the past, but this is also the earliest in the month that I've ever planned a Delve (GameDay occupies the usual slot this month).

Mar 01, 2009 6:34:41 Hi

I just downloaded a delve for the first time (download only as I live in Europe). The adventure is for 10th level characters. I was planning to organise this delve on the D&D gameday. The characters from that adventure are 11th level. Is there any possibility I can let the players play the march delve with the premade characters from the gameday adventure?

What kind of information do you have to report at the end of the delve? The download only has the adventure pdf and not a reporting sheet. The adventure text also references the instructions in the delve kit. But this is also missing in the download.

Any help would be appreciated !

Mar 01, 2009 7:28:04 I wouldn't run with 11th level characters, as there's quite a difference between Paragon-tier and Heroic-tier characters (and NPCs).

While it would be doable, the damage output, paragon class options, and other bits and pieces will (almost certainly) make it a complete cakewalk for the players.

As for reporting, I believe you just need to report the RPGA/DCI/WPN numbers of the players involved.

Mar 11, 2009 15:12:21 Quick question on the first encounter:

Show
The tactics for the Shadow Slime suggest using "Shadow Jump". I've checked the stats, but the Slime has no ability like that. Am I missing something?
