Five or more Hall of Honour voters raise a submission to Golden.
Shadows gather...and linger.
MuroMax Adventure Module #1. This is an old-fashioned, rip-roaring adventure. We hope everyone enjoys it. This is also a first attempt of sorts. The plot and the order of subs may be a bit disjointed but please persevere :D

IT LIVES AT LAST! Well, hope this goes over well! :D
Is there a particular order to these? Or are they already in that order?
Well, this is the order of subs we came up with, but *sigh* it is a bit confusing isnt it.
I'll vote on this when i finish reading them all. :) But I have read some...
A full-fledged campaign, and an interesting one at that. Old school action, terrible beasts, side quests, detailed storyline... A very excellent quest. You are to be commended.
A. It's awesome
B. I love the ideas
BUT
C. MORE, there must be more! I hardly know what Haint looks like, or how they behave, how they reproduce themselves, I've really only got a thumbnail picture of the Swollen Shadow itself, I have an incomplete portrait, at best, of much of the stuff in this set-up.
I love it to death, I just wish there was.. more.

You should of put them in the codex in the order they are needed. If you don't want to take the negative xp backwash for changing it, then why don't you list them in their order of use on the main page.
You should also give a synopsis of the complex plot line, so people will know if they want to get into it.
you are correct of course. I need to not look at this for a few days if you know what I mean. I have been clouded in an umbral clot for over a month. I need to take a break, but will come back and fix this sucker up! Promise!
5/5 for this.
Could use a tad bit more work, but this is really good. Keeep at it!
Yeah, it's really way too short. Now if you would add just a little... *head explodes*
Ok, going to do my part and bring this gem to the fore. Now, I'm personally unlikely to run this adventure as is, but it contains so many elements of value that I can't let it sit hidden.
So here we go!
(For some reason I can't vote???)
Edit: But I can HOH and this great collection deserves it!
This is a great sub. Now that I finally have set up an account for myself, I thought I´d show my appreciation by actually voting on it. Its dark, gloomy, gothic, Lovecraftian, Tolkienesque and BRILLIANT!! Too bad I can´t vote it into HoH yet, but I will, as soon as I can. Great job! /David
And now I can, so here´s your HoH!!..:-) /David
Ia Cthulu! Awesome!
This needed a BUMP!
*blinks*
Where is it?
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
