I like your ideas about giving the goblins a bit more of a purpose for attacking the inn. It cuts down on the dumb luck aspect of the heroes just being in the right place at the right time.
Yep, that was one of the things that jumped out at me when I first read the module. Why was a significant fraction (yeah, mostly minions but still...) of the raiding force hitting this one inn and trying to burn it down. Giving them a goal like stealing a relic of the old Hand just felt much more satisfactory, and tied it in to the overall adventure much better.
when I do I think I'm going to go back and integrate some of your and Lindharin's ideas, if neither of you mind.
That's fine for my stuff.

Hey, thanx for this. Overlook was a bit much for me (had to jump into this as DM on very short notice). Nice concise notes help a TON!
Thanx

Oh My Lord! This thread is exactly what I need!!
I love the idea of an Adventure Path, since I just do not have the time to develop one myself. However, this first foray into the realm of AP by Wizards needs a little TLC to make it flow correctly. There are too many mistakes that, if not noticed and corrected, would really hurt the game play at the table.
Thank you for this thread.
If I might offer a suggestion it is to just edit your first post based on suggestions of other DM's - that way the community as a whole could develop our very own "DM's Troubleshooting and Suggestion Guide to The Scales of War Adventure Path" in a single place and not scattered about with hindered different (and possibly conflicting) suggestions. As this thread grows it will become harder and harder to read and decipher if this is not done.
Take, for example, what the World of Warcraft community on Blizzards Forums - they often have one person who writes a Class Talent Suggestion or Optimization thread. Then he alters his thread (which is always on the first page) based on information and suggestions from others (which can get into the thousands of suggestions over hundreds of pages).
This is what this thread needs - and I nominate Xcaliber to lead the way.

Don't anyone fret that I've abandoned this thread! Life's just been kicking me in the teeth; I think everyone knows how that is. This weekend I'm going to do a writeup for chapter 4, and edit my first couple of posts with some of the suggestions brought in since I threw this thread up the first time. Anyone out there with some suggestions on interlinking the series together, keep contributing. I'd like this to be a useful thread for everyone. For everyone who's read so far, thanks for stopping by!

Much as I love this thread a wiki seems like a better choice to be honest.
You could post here when you update the wiki.

I don't disagree with you actually Cailte. I looked around for a wiki along this line for some time, to be honest, but couldn't find one anywhere. I unfortunately also lack the resources to setup a wiki, although if you would like to volunteer to host something like that, I would be happy to move my work there.
Finally, I've worked some of the suggestions presented into this thread into my list up above. A death in the family prevented me from working out the fourth module this weekend past, but I hope to tackle in soon. Next Thursday I will be starting the SoW campaign for my group, so I need to get moving soon!

I love this thread. I hope other DMs contribute to this as I will be taking a couple months off DMing as me an another who I game with Swap every few levels. I hope there are great ideas to tie in Karak, Den and Temple!

Nice editing. I actually like the post just the way it is. Just keep editing the original posts and let us know when there's an update. I'll throw a few things in tonight from work if I get the chance

Thanks for this thread! Too bad I didn't have it when I started. We just finished SoW 1 and begun number 2 last time. They're on their way to Overlook and was ambushed by some bandits on the road there (they were short on exp :P ). I will consider dropping some Lost Ones on them during their stay there.

I have the resources to do this
Will take a look at some options in the coming weeks and get back to you.
