AAW's Rise of the Drow

[Dax Doomslayer]

Hi Folks,
I contributed to the Kickstarter for this and there was a notification today about this now being an 'add-on' for Fantasy Grounds. I know AAW has a lot of titles in FG but I just wanted to confirm that this is a 'thing'. Any insight is appreciated! Thanks.

[Kelrugem]

very cool, I am also a backer :) But I wonder if this module for FG is 5e only or also Pathfinder

EDIT: Nevermind, now I saw in the small sentence below the FG module picture that is also supports Pathfinder/3.5e! :D This didn't stand in the text of the email and thus I was confused

[Bidmaron]

Backer here too. PF all the way!

[Dax Doomslayer]

Has this been confirmed that Smiteworks will offer this. I just wanted to know prior to adding this to my pledge...

[madman]

Even though I want to jump on this I am not going to..

[Ampersandrew]

$30 for 30 dungeons vs $39 for 130 dungeons.

I can see why that might be a touch annoying.

[AAWGAMES]

I was disappointed with the Mini Dungeon Tome Kickstarter. I paid 30 something extra to get three FG Mods of like 10 mini adventures each. Then they made the whole thing available on FG at an additional charge. Even though I want to jump on this I am not going to..

@madman you may DM me and I'll get you a code for the FG MDT. Also, this thread is about Rise of the Drow, not the MDT ;)

[madman]

I did see that. Thank You for the offer.

[AAWGAMES]

I did see that. Thank You for the offer.

I asked Doug Davison (Smiteworks) if he could shoot you over the 5E MDT.
Enjoy!

I found some small errors in the newly released "Rise of the Drow" campaign by AAW games Fantasy Grounds conversion:

Ch 1
-Neither the Gryphonwind's gatherers (book pgs 6-7 / FG story link 01.1.032-033) nor the Mayor Leonid (book pg 6 / FG story link 01.1.031) nor Juriendor (book pg 5 / FG story link 01.1.012b) have the NPC or PC sheets created for them in the FG version. I'm not sure if that was intentional but it would definitely be helpful in FG to be able to use them!
-The campaign primer is nowhere to be found within the FG module (personally I think it should be separate as a player loadable module)
Ch 2
Wand of snares should be added to parcel 01.2.07 Centaur Patrol [its already coded in items just not in the parcel (easy fix)]

[darthphoenix95]

I see the ROTD Campaign Primer was released today. I grabbed it and I'm seeing that the character sheets are scanned into FG but it says they're "made in Fantasy Grounds and are ready to play" but I dont see them coded anywhere (I checked the NPC window as well as the Character selection window)

EDIT: I LIED THEY ARE ALL THERE. But i did notice that there seems to be a glitch in unity for searching characters. When I type a character name into the search box on the import window nothing shows up :(

I don't own this mod, but usually, for pre-generated characters, once the module is loaded, the GM clicks on the Import Character button in the Character Selection screen. The window that opens should have any available characters.

Also noticing that the Adriks Folly GM map with the numbers is missing from the reference manual.

There seems to be a coding issue with the attack of the dark creepers in the Stone Floes encounter. The NPC sheet I had to edit witht he colon to make the attack roll-able and the corresponding link in the combat tracker does not have the attack working.

This has been fixed and will populate with the next update.

I have been asked to report any issues through this Forum and not directly so I will do so.
Issue I found, which affects game play (it prevents the attack from being highlighted):

NPC: Drow Warrior:
Error in Action for Hand Crossbow
Currently:
Ranged Weapon Attack.
+4 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage, and the target must roll to resist drow poison.

Should be:
Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage, and the target must roll to resist drow poison.

In other words there is a period (.) and a new line after Attack (and should be a colon and space)

I'll look into this...

Hey all, hopefully quick, duh level question.

the RotD map pack that is for sale in the FG store. are these all new maps, or are there repeat maps from the module?

I guess one more question. if they are new maps - do the maps link back to encounters or areas in the core module?

thanks, cheers,

J.

Please post link to product in question?

Please post link to product in question?

sure. should have done this - sorry!

core adventure: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=AAWFG5EROTD
map pack: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=AAWFGROTDMP

wondering if the maps in the map pack are repeats from the core book - or all new maps to enhance the book?

cheers,

J.

[AAWGAMES]

That is an old map pack from the last edition. The maps are still usable and could be interchanged as needed but are not necessary to play through the adventure. If you have the latest iteration of the Rise of the Drow: Collector's Edition for 5E, that has the best maps, art, etc. and all you need to run the game!

This is with respect to:
Story entry 01.1.043 Acolytes' Quarters.
Section: 16-17 Study Rooms.

I seem to be missing something compared to the original PDF:
The side note of the original PDF for the Cacophony Mask seems to be missing (page 14).
The story entry in FG (01.1.043) has in the description for room 16-17 the text "(see page 14)". This should be replaced with something like "See Link Below". Then there should be a new story entry for the Mask that then can be linked here.
In addition one ghoublin is placed in room 16, where also the trap is placed. This does not make sense because the ghoublin would already have set the trap off (any creature within 5 feet sets it off).
So either the ghoublin or the trap needs to move to room 17. I moved in my campaign the trap and the bag with treasure to room 17.

this may be a stupid question (or even inappropriate). looking at my physical copy of Rise of the Drow, it *looks* like every monster in this campaign is individually statted out in the back of the book. even "typical" monsters from the Monster Manual. if I buy the FG online version of this, do I need the D&D MM in order to play, or will the FG module have all the monster stats and artwork as per the book?

Cheers,

J.

It's self-contained, ALL monsters will be there.

[Nylanfs]

All modules come with the monsters listed in the book, AFAIK

Looking to pick this up while it's on sale. Bit of confusion tho. I see someone early on mentioned PF. I see in the recent email promo it says you need FGU PF/3.5. Yet there is lots of discussion in the above posts that state it's 5E. Can I get confirmation which version it is? Thanks.

Both versions are available. There are different entries for each version in the store. Just make sure you're putting the right one in your cart.

[celebrindal]

Thanks, one last question. I like to support both Paizo and FG. I also like to have a PDF that I can read on my iPad away from my CPU at times. As such for large items like this I try to buy the Paizo and then use the discount to buy the FG version. I see on Paizo the 'normal' Rise of the drow but not the collectors edition. There are some articles where folks discuss but no link to product. Link to the production i'm talking about here. https://paizo.com/products/btpy95ei?Rise-of-the-Drow.

What I'd like to know finally is, is the collectors edition on Paizo somewhere for me to buy? If not and I buy the 'regular' version will I get a discount on the collectors from FG? (or would there be too much difference between them that it would be a bad idea to do that.)

Thanks.

[ddavison]

Discounts for purchases from Paizo won't work on non-Paizo products. Even though Paizo sells other publisher's products, there is no agreement in place to offer any PDF discounts or free PDFs for those.
