Sep 28, 2007 0:39:26 Howdy all,

It's been a while since I've owned a copy of the module. Hopefully I'll track one down, but in the meantime, where did the ship crash? I seem to remember it being lodged in a mountain range somewhere up north, but which nations were involved? Did Veluna send the PC expedition, or was it some other power? By-the-by, has anyone ever incorporated this module into their campain, for example, taking into account the possible disruption of the local balance of power posed by the ship's technology? I thought it might be fun to run a game in which the PCs are racing against competing parties from, say, the Brotherhood, and others...

No...sorry

The Hexes came from Greyhawk Boxed Set (Pre Ashes I believe). I found the listings online so I didn;t have to dig mine out ;)
