Savant, im in total agreence with your idea. Im not knocking the whole Goblins and Orcs etc. Me personally in my new mod im bringing a balance for classic D&D and new age RPG's. Introducing and surrounding the player with more then a Friendly Human race, and hostile monsters. doing  my best to introduce a new world and setting.

Sounds great, richly detailed societies make for good stories

I enjoyed the book. Even though I have played through the modules - and the book really has a flavor of an adventure that is being narrated - I was very interested in seeing the story through the protagonist's eyes.

Anyway, I had fun reading it. When is the next one coming out?

I remember Aielund very well. I played at the tme, where you had 3 chapters and the 4th was on development, but IIRC, the 4th was then sub-divided into 2 or 3 acts I believe...

I remember the cow 'mooing' in that wolf menace in the first act, then having a young dragon as a companion in ch 2 or 3.... I liked the mods very much, think reached one or two chapters of the 4th act. Played as an Illusionist, and was doing great.

Good memories...

Heh, that "MOO!" cow scene was hilarious. I played Aielund in multiplayer with a friend and I remember the exchange being something like:
ME: Hey, there's a cow that's saying Moo.
PARTNER: Yeah, they're all saying moo.
ME: No - read the log: One of them is saying the *word* "Moo", not just moo-ing.
PARTNER: WTF?


The fourth chapter (in three acts) has been completed for a while now and I think it's great fun and a pretty good treatment of epic levels. If you have your old characters (and even if you don't), I'd recommend playing it.

Moo.

I guess Savant hasn't been back to this thread in a while, but he has been busy. The second book in the series, In Defence of the Crown, came out last month. I had just finished reading another series and was checking if anything I had read lately had produced a sequel.

I am about halfway through and enjoying it. It's fun to experience the story from the novelized perspective after having played it. The characters who are henchmen in the modules receive a lot more attention as support characters in the novel.

Anyway, I just remembered this thread and thought this might be of interest to fans of the modules or the first book.

 Just dropping a line to say the writing continues, and I'm well past the halfway mark on book 3. 

[Savant1974]

 Just finished the third novel in the series, in case anyone was interested in that sort of thing

Sweet!

Read it and enjoyed it. It may be worth noting for others that the progression of the novels is somewhat different than the modules and the plot by the end of the third novel has not reached the same stage as it has by the end of the third module.
