Tomoachan is an adaptation of C1: The Hidden Shrine of Tomoachan, a module that was originally used for the Official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons tournament at Origins 1979, and was the first in series of modules from TSR, the Competition Series. The module has been adapted and expanded from the original. If you are a min/max, power gamer, I'd recommend trying this mod on a hard difficulty setting or with no more than a 4th level character.
This adventure is ideal for single player. 4th or 5th level male characters are very strongly recommended. Humans, half-elfs, and elves are encouraged. There is a �romance� with a human woman featured prominently in the plot, thus the recommendation. There are a few references that indicate the player is definitely a man, but if you don�t mind overlooking this and want to romance a human woman with a halfling woman, go to town!
I would recommend this module for teen or older due to content.
The module represents a good mix of role playing, hack and slash, and tricks and traps.
It is intended for 4th-6th level characters. Dialog and plot problems will occur in multiplayer but other game mechanics should be ok. I did not have the opportunity to run a multiplayer test.
Pretty good mod. Interesting dungeon, neat romance based plot (very full and, unlike most romances in these mods, grants closure). The only thing I can really critique is the writing. I cannot stress enough how much the grammar and, most of all, punctuation needs to be worked on. There are many, many lines that go without any punctuation at all, and others that go along the lines of "What has happened this room is filled with poison gas" and such. Add commas and periods, and replace periods with question marks when the statements are questions and exclamation points when they are exclamations. As it is, the writing really, REALLY brings down the quality of the mod. _________________________ BEEP! Hey, this is Angel of Nessus.

I had the same problem as Friar and it was because when I extracted the files in the HAK folder it actually created another sub-folder called HAK. Once I moved the files into the NWN2\HAK folder (and out of the NWN2\HAK\HAK folder) it worked fine, I had to do that also for the music files which had originally been extracted to NWN2\Music\Music.

Very interested in playing this. However, I'm told I have a hak file missing and that I should check my notes. I've looked for the "notes" but all I could find were "Patch_notes." I'm really interested in the Mazticas sense playing NWN Pirates of the Sword Coast. I'd really like to play your module as well. I usually don't download something unless it looks like something I could rate a 10. Any tips?

Hello. I´ve just played it through and I must say, it was a nice story and much nicer female companion:-) Music was fine.

Clyordes, Glad you enjoyed the module. There should have been something about the gas when you entered the shrine. It sounds like a script failed. I haven't played this (or NWN2) for a while, perhaps a recent patch broke something. Thanks for posting. Ernie _________________________ ENoa4 http://enoa4rpg.blogspot.com

Its been a long, long time since I played the PNP version of this adventure - can't remember much about it except the overall feel, which this captures in spadefuls. Love the outdoor sections in the beginning - they look fantastic really show what NWN2 is capable of compared to NWN1. The interior was a lot of fun too - lots of nice encounters interesting areas - can see how it got the conversion award. Multi-player - we played the adventure with 2 female characters (made some of the NPC conversations a little 'odd', lucky we're free swinging ladies!). Although the mod's not specifically designed for multi-player, we had no obvious problems definitely no show stoppers. ***Possible spoiler*** Not sure what was going on with the poison gas - the first my party heard of it was the large room virtually at the end where we saw a message saying the air was clearer. Maybe it was because we had a ring of regeneration each? Overall - a great adventure - well recommended. _________________________ "Cor- a Beholder, Just think of the XP!"; Dave the Barbarian in the Demonweb pits, long ago.
