Hi,
Scouring of Gate Pass is a very good but also very tough adventure. I want my PCs to fully live the 1st level stressful moments so I don't feel like pimping them too much before starting. Could anyone suggest a good lead-in to the module? I've been thinking about "Rumble in the Wizard's Tower" from Goodman Games/Wicked Fantasy Factory. Surprisingly, even though it looks like a basic dungeon crawl with cool additional features like finishing moves, the background is promising. Here's a snippet from the intro (Potential spoilers ahead) :
King from Nation A marries Princess from Nation B to somewhat secure peace between the 2 kingdoms. Princess from Nation B is then "captured" by the main villain who has a tower in Nation A. I'm putting "Captured" in quotes because the princess is actually in love with the main villain.
Nation B is understandably upset and war is about to break out again (Hmmm, see the link?) because they suspect Nation A is behind it all. The 2 lovers are even hoping to storm Nation A Castle during the chaos of the ensuing war. I really see some potential to set the tower in Gate Pass, Shahalesti could be Nation A and Ragesia could be Nation B.
Anyone is familiar with both WotBS and that adventure? Or did anyone use something else to lead their players to Scouring of Gate Pass?
