An Echo of Kings is a base module for playing Night's Watch DMed campaigns set in George R.R. Martin's Westeros. I've published it here after a few people on the G.R.R.M forums showed an interest. Areas included are Castle Black, Mole's Town, Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, The Haunted Forest, The Night's Watch War Galley Bloodraven, and portions of The Wall. I have included dozens of NPC's that will allow people to set their campaign anytime during the ASoIaF series time line. Remember this is a DM only module. Everything is built and scripted, except for the plots themselves.
Food and Water-Heals small amount of HP's when used, and can only be used when hungry or thirsty. Food, water and wine can be procured in the Castle Black Common Hall as well as other locations and via hunting.
Rest-rest is restricted to designated areas and camp sites set up with firewood.
Death-bleed til -10, then die, no respawn.
Pack Mules-Pack mules can be used to carry ranging gear. I intend to add the new DLA/Bioware horse system as soon as it is available outside the premium module.
Henchmen-3 detailed scripted henchmen are available (Watt, Big Boil Ben, and Left-Hand Lucas) for parties who don't have enough real players.
Hundreds of Westerosi items including-
Dreamwine, Milk of the Poppy, Kingscopper, Dragonbone and Goldenwood bows, Bravo's Blades, Norvoshi Longaxes, the Valyrian Steel bastard sword Longclaw, Myrish Far-Eyes, to many to mention them all....As well as 1.68 cloaks, custom armor, clothes, weapons, etc...
Armor System-Armor by type is given damage reduction percentage against different types of attacks. Helms, gauntlets, and boots also give protection. Special thanks to Jakkal from ToA for the initial design of the armor system.
The Castle Black Armory and the barracks in Eastwatch have armor and weapons, the Rookery has healing supplies and the Steward's Warehouse has ranging supplies.
OCC starting area contains a level up conversation to level characters up to the recommended starting level of 4-6
Over 100 NPC's-

Special thanks to the Tears of Artorin PW team and ZW for scripts and other hard work. Also thanks to all the great content creators who made this possible.
This may just be a biased opinion of an avid fan of the series, but I'd say you're doing a damn fine job. I'd like to offer my assistance if any way possible. I have a little experience working with the scripting language as well as some minor game programming experience as well. Just let me know _________________________ And lo cometh the day when the children of summer doth tremble and shake, for the sun hath become jealous with its warmth, and the auld gods do howl.

Steve said: "Why is the module rated mature?" Steve, do you ever get tired of mindlessly asking the same thing over and over again in every single Module thread on NWVault? Especially ones for content-less DM-required modules that you're never going to touch? (*insert emoticon for rolling-eyes here*) To the module author: As someone who's a fan of GRRM's Westeros fiction series, good job on creating a template that others can build upon! Although I personally wouldn't use it myself, since at the moment I don't have time for multiplayer.

Since my campaign took place timeline- wise before A Game of Thrones starts, many of the Wildling NPC's from the books weren't needed. I'm going to add Mance Rayder, Rattleshirt, Harma Dogshead, The Weeper, Ygritte and others. Would people prefer to have them as an erf you can import into your module or should I just post a new module that you can overwrite the old one with? Depending on how much you edit your own modules, it might make sense for me to just post new areas as erfs too, what do you guys think? Does anyone have any areas in particular they would like to see? The Haunted Forest is what I plan on working on next, as well as an at sea area where confrontations/battles between smugglers and the Watch can take place. The Haunted Forest is so vast that it's hard to really piece it together. As it is now it just extends north from the Wall in "mile" increments, which made sense for my campaign. I plan to add eastern and western areas, as well as connect the Barrow of the First Men area to it as well. Anyway, let me know what you think and I'll do my best to update with these improvements soon. Peace, Juba

Why would you want to play a DM only module in a setting you've never even heard of?

I ask to determine why I want to play the module or not. _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve

I rated the module mature because the series it is based on contains incest, fratricide and many colorful descriptions of private parts. Now are there any such depictions in this base module? Probably not. But I thought it best for consistency sake to rate the module as "mature". Just curious Steve, but why do I often see you asking creators of mature rated content why they are rated such? Are you taking a poll? Just curious about how the other half lives? Mayhaps you like being a pain in the ass? I'm seriously curious.

I'm going to update the mod file in the next few days. I've added a few things since the current version. I'll upload it in its own RAR when I do. Juba
