Thanks for doing the research Dave.  It points out a problem that we
addressed during a Friday night chat some months ago.  Yes, there are
some notes in our revision, so it will be clarified in DR2ED.

Page 68 of the AMM mentions that a character may not take on a Special
Character Role until he has successfully completed three adventures, even
if the character meets the requirements before that.

Since there are only three published adventures, LightRaider Test, Rescue
of the Sacred Scrolls, and MoonBridge, (by the current rules) a character
should not take on a Special Role until after MoonBridge.

The problem has been the classification of the MoonBridge Raid.  Is it
one adventure or three?

Personally, I think MoonBridge should be counted as one adventure.  But,
that leaves a lot of characters dangling  and players frustrated for a
long period of time.  So, to fix this mess, I would like to add a couple
of adventures between RSS and MBR.

>From what I know of the adventures in progress, I would have a group
play them in this order:

LightRaider Test
Rescue of the Sacred Scrolls
Descent into Darkness
Sorcerer's Apprentice
MoonBridge 1,2, and 3
Lost Brother
County Faire

(I left out some that I know of because I have not been privileged to
read them, yet.  Of those, Schools of Destruction, Seven Churches, Quest
for Kendra.  Any others?)

So, at the end of DID, all the characters who qualify would receive their
calling from the OverLord to a Special Character Role.  One short
adventure to get used to the Role, then the characters are ready for
MoonBridge and Beyond.

How is that?

Joe
