CCC-GARY01-03: The Gary Con 2017 Story Arc

ADD TO WISHLIST >

CCC-GARY01:

A mysterious building has been constructed in the Zhent Slums outside Mulmaster. No one knows who or what built this massive circular ziggurat. That is, until you received an invitation for a dinner party to be held at the very top of the structure. What delights and mysteries await you? 

CCC-GARY02:

Disaster has struck, and you and your fellow party members have found yourself caught in a huge building, descending deeper into the depths of the structure as you try to find a way out. Laid in your path are deadly obstacles and mysterious clues as to why you came to be here in the first place. 

CCC-GARY03:

All out mayhem has encompassed the ground floors of the huge structure you've been exploring. Forces fight back and forth through the halls, and you find yourself drawn into fights where you hope to survive long enough just to make it out. Part Three of the Gary Con 2017 adventure arc.

CCC-GARY-03 is missing the write-up for the Story Award “In Service to the Snake”.

There is no write-up. The authors wanted to leave it up to the DM to decide what sort of boons the players get.

I have taken to giving players a Charm of Animal Conjuring that they can use to summon snakes, courtesy of some thematically-appropriate enslaved chwingas.

Is there a reason this isn't a regular bundle? I know that when you buy part of a normal bundle its cost is subtracted from the bundle if you buy one in the future. This just seems to raise the barrier to entry because buying one part to try it just leaves you without good options.

So since the description is unclear: there are three PDF files in this download. Two of them are cert files. The other one is all three of the modules in the Gary Con 2017 story arc. All of them are for 5th–10th level characters, and each is 2 hours long. It says GARY01-03 which is a bit confusing—GARY01-03 is not the code, what it means is it contains GARY01 through GARY03. If you were to buy the three individually, they would cost $14.97, so by buying this pack, you are saving about 13% compared to buying them separately. There are no maps or illustrations in the PDF; those are sold separately over hereabouts: http://www.dmsguild.com/product/209695/CCCGARY0103-Map-and-Illustration-Pack/.

I hope that helps.

Price is a little steep for a 2 hour adventure.

Ok, this is a little steep for a "six hour compilation of 3 adventures"

Anyone played this? Is it worth the $13? Cause that's quite a lot for 1 adventure... And is this only the first adventure or also the other 2?
Cause the others are also sold seperatly for $5.

I really hope this adventure isn't indicative of the quality of CCC adventures in general.

This is the only AL-approved adventure that I simply stopped running halfway through because it was awful.

I've run it but with this 'bundle' not including any of the maps or handouts beyond the certs for part 1, I absolutely cannot recommend it to anyone without a ton of time to prep or an extra $10 for the map pack. The individual modules have the same lack of maps.

The codes are not GARY01-01 and GARY 01-02, they're just GARY01 and GARY02. The GARY1-3 file means GARY01 through GARY03.

I see there is a separate purchase for maps, does that mean there are none in this pack?

That's correct, Richard. The modules and text were originally intended to be run as Theater of the Mind in a convention setting, so maps aren't required to operate them. However, the map and illustration pack we have featured here was created by an artist of our acquaintance who just couldn't help himself. :)

If it's supposed to be TotM, why does the third module in particular refer to a map and has keyed encounters?

So it's $5 dollar adventures og approx. 4-6 pages each and then $9 for the maps. Right.

Seriously, this module has got to have one of the worst price points, especially considering quality, of any AL legal content that I've seen.

Each of the encounters fully describes the rooms to facilitate theater of the mind. The maps aren't necessary, and are only provided if you're one of the folks that likes to print on a 1-1 scale with your minis, and then cut out to create the dynamic map of the level.

That's great that the authors and their surrogates keep repeating that but at least one encounter specifically refers you to a map for a layout and does not describe the room in sufficient detail beyond that reference.

You can get away with theater of the mind pretty easily in GARY-01 (although the text references information from a handout that is not included), but in GARY-02 the room layouts are basically incomprehensible and the encounters rely heavily on map positioning, especially "Wakka Wakka Wakka," where the exact locations of the snakes, ghosts, and blue potions are crucial. The encounter even refers to a map that's not there. And then in GARY-03, the "Warzone" section refers you to a map for general encounter areas and then immediately says "But you don't need a map! Really!"

I disapprove of this.

It isn't easy to tell from the bundle what levels and how many ours this is.
Also folks check out the illustrations for these in

I second this. I figured it out due to the pricing, but it needs to be more clearly marked as a "Three Pack of Adventures" or "Get the Complete Set!" that kind of thing.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
