Souragne reference in new Paizo adventure path?

Hi everyone,

Sounds like Paizo has given a nod to Souragne in the latest installment of its Savage Tide Adventure Path, set on the edges of the Amedio Jungle (near the southwestern edge of the World of Greyhawk map). I haven't received the issue yet, so I can't comment further, but here's the thread if you're interested in following this discussion...

Souragne's origins lie in World of Greyhawk, in a Suloise colony? That seems rather unlikely, but I'll reserve further judgement (and indignation) until I've seen the article. I hope this doesn't end up being a double insult to me, as a DM for both Greyhawk and Ravenloft...

I see that Dungeon Editor James Jacobs confirmed in your linked thread that it was indeed an intentional nod to Ravenloft. Here is the actual paragraph from the Dragon article by F. Wesley Schneider & James Sutter:
"Misroi Plantation: A cursed place, this untended plantation and burnt-out manor house once belonged to one Anton Misroi, a cruel man who murdered his wife by drowning her in a nearby quicksand bog. When her corpse returned to slay her treacherous husband, the plantation's fearful workers burned the manor house and forever fled."
The article claims that this is one plantation among many in the Amedio Jungle clearings within 25 miles of the port city of Sasserine.

Very interesting...

I hope that the Sasserine Adventure Path will find its way into hardbound publication like *Shackled City*. It seems to be the best adventure series in Dungeon in years...

Yay!
Greyhawk AND Ravenloft. What should I wish for next?

I enjoy Paizo's stuff quite a bit. But be warned, alot of their stuff is a little more dungeon crawling and hacking and slashing than Ravenloft buffs may be used to.

True. I wouldn't get too hyped up over a Ravenloft in-joke reference in "Savage Tide" ... especially considering how most of that adventure-path is actually grafted onto Oerth from Mystara, where the Isle of Dread module was set in the first place!

Yeah, from my oldschool point of view the stuff is pretty disturbing... Still, from what I saw so far, a real hit on the D&D front this winter!
