    The Shackled City Adventure Path (5Th Edition)

    The Shackled City Adventure Path (5th Edition) Conversion Guide Introduction: Originally published in Dungeon® Magazine, the Shackled City Adventure Path is a series of adventures for 3rd Edition DUNGEONS & DRAGONS®. It was subsequently updated to 3rd Edition (v.3.5), bundled, and sold in hardcover. I picked it up in 2007 and ran the entire campaign for a superb team of players over seven years. When everything was said-and-done, the consensus was that no campaign in our combined 100+ year D&D gaming careers came close to the detail, intrigue, and immersion offered by this adventure path. My new 5th Edition group really wanted to give the campaign a try, so I decided to convert the adventure path. A several hundred-hour adventure for 1st–20th level characters by Roy Simpson ([email protected]) DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, D&D, Wizards of the Coast, Forgotten Realms, the dragon ampersand, Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual, Dungeon Master’s Guide, D&D Adventurers League, all other Wizards of the Coast product names, and their respective logos are trademarks of Wizards of the Coast in the USA and other countries.

  • SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)

    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.
