Is soz holidays still being worked on or is anyone working on an soz expansiion... Is it possible to start with the world map, then add area's without making the player start a new game everytime and area is added to the game? I like the forgotten realms and like the idea of exploring through the overland map.
edit: ...or what are some of the large scope FR mods out there that are currently using the overland map system.
The SoZ Holiday Special is no longer being worked on, as far as I know. A similar community project was BouncyRock's Halloween project, but it used a full sized city hub, not the overland map, and it was separate from the existing campaigns.
There was another community project in the works, using a new overland map, but it was canceled and most of the participants released their mini-mods separately.
Another user announced interest earlier this year in starting a similar project to that, but as far as I know it hasn't gotten started.
Yes, it is entirely possible through careful use of scripting to add new areas and new content to existing areas, and most of the sort of things you'd want to add to an existing campaign without requiring anyone to start a new game. I do this in mine, and EpicFetus does the same in his.
Other good modules that use an overland map system are Misery Stone and Legacy of White Plume Mountain.
i really like what i've read about your new mod... congrats on the release!!! ...only thing holding me back from trying it is i haven't, naturally, obtained a 10th level character. maybe once i finished BGR. i like taking a character from 1st level to 30th give me a feeling of story, legacy and continuity.
your's uses the overland map, yes? is it based in FR and are you considering adding new campaigns to that map. or will you create all new maps for all new campaigns, if you plan to create new campaigns at all? yours is a name i've seen many times in the community, you put out good work. thank you for that.
Ah, well, since you ask... 
Mine uses the overland map system, but only as an overseas map for traveling by boat. There are no wandering monsters or caches of goodies on it like in the original overland map, and only 4 locations on it. I could add those things and new locations to it in future expansions, if it seems like a good idea, and I could also add a new overland map for visiting new locations on the mainland. Currently travel on the mainland is done by checking out with the guard at the gate.
It's based in the FR setting, in that characters and descriptions refer to locations and dates in the Forgotten Realms, but the town itself is not canonical.
While I do want to make a new campaign in a different region, my current plan is to add small quest packs over time to this campaign, which players would preferably play through by loading a saved game from their previous play and picking up from there, rather than starting over. That'll give a use for certain quest rewards you receive late in the game.
Also, I know you ideally would have a true continuity and legacy with a level 10 character you built up yourself, but if you wanted to just jump into this one, you can take the option in the starting area to grant levels to yourself, anywhere from 7-12.

i think something along the line of Wulverheim but with the overland map and FR's background. Path of Evil, but not having to be evil.
yes i'm needy
That SOZ Holiday module, or something similar, was actually released years ago. I don't know if it's already available on the new Vault.
Yes, released and completed, if the question was about whether it was ever released in a complete, playable state. My interpretation of the question was that it was about whether anyone was planning to add more quests to it, as the structure allows.
that would be a correct interpretation, Tchos
I'd settle for a reliable place and means of patching Storm of Zohir up to the 1.22 which I'm made to understand is the last patch needed for it. I don't really care about the module which you need to upgrade higher for. Every site I'm sent to is either non-existent or won't let me d-load the patches. Annoying as hell just to play an old game but I'm nostalgic lately and playing all my old games , even my old dos silver and gold box D&D collection.
