Journey to the Center of Aereth. Love it.
Just got the PDF of "Journey to the Center of Aereth" and "The Lost City of Barako." So far the adventures and story material are awesome. The potential open-ended stuff going on in depths of the earth touched on by this stuff is great. I'm going to somehow fit this in with the Shudder Mountains campaign I'll be DM'ing this Summer. Great job and superb writing!
I highly recommend it!

Re: Journey to the Center of Aereth. Love it.
I picked it up at GenCon. I really love both of these as well.
I reallylike how it leaves so many things open for Judges to interpret/add to. There is so much adventure here...
I do have a question.. this does seem like it might be the start of a boxed set or campaign setting.
Was that the initial intention?

Re: Journey to the Center of Aereth. Love it.
I just finished reading all three books and I love it. Is there any intention of producing more adventures modules for this setting?

Re: Journey to the Center of Aereth. Love it.
I love Aereth. I was telling Harley at GaryCon that I think this is the modern equivalent of the "Drow" series in terms of scope and ambition. I haven't run it yet, but I'm really enjoying reading it.

Re: Journey to the Center of Aereth. Love it.
Can anyone give more info on this? (besides the regular adventure blurb on back cover) Is it Underdark themed or Jules Verne Center of Earth theme?
Id love to see an Underdark, Drow, Kuo-toan, type adventure.

I know it's in-part inspired by Pellucidar, but I can't say how much, since I don't own it (yet).

It'll be showing up very soon in the DCC Trove of Treasures....I just completed the stuff starting with "I"! Only Jewels of the Carnifex is before it!

Spoilers:
Getting there is half the fun (or at least that's what the brochure promised me):
Access to the passages that lead to Agharta is an adventure in and of itself. Once you have access the Underdark portion of the module kicks in. How you choose to travel (tunnels or river) will impact the time it takes to get to the destination. If you're group enjoys resource management then this portion of the module is for you (food, water, light, and even air become important - thinking of dragging out my AD&D Dungeoneer's Survival Guide for some guidelines). If you'd prefer to make the travel quick and easy I suggest a series of gates that have to be unlocked (place enough "keys" so that they don't end up trapped) that work sometimes (set your Stargate to random and go...). Several small detailed encounters along the way but you will have PLENTY of room to introduce anything you want (who doesn't love Deep Ones (cough*kuo-toa*cough) or another race that may have been pushed to the edge of extinction by the Aghartans (cough*Illithids*cough).
Destination:
Very Jules Verne feeling from what I've skimmed so far of the environment but Harley has given it a few twists that are very evocative. No Drow here, the Aghartans are a truly twisted bunch and they make the Drow look like kids playing at being debased slavers.
The scope of the "setting" allows for some real world spanning implications and can provide what a lot of people have been asking for (campaign material that you can run at higher levels since this is recommended for at least 4th level to start).

Re: Journey to the Center of Aereth. Love it.
Id like to see something along the lines of Underdark, drow, Kuo-toans.
Descent into the depths, Shrine of the Kuo-toans, Vault of the Drow.
Looks like nothing like that for DCC RPG. (some for classic crawls tho)
