yep that's the BI. I think it may have had 2 names at one point.

The last I saw was "I Strike At Thee" as the final, released version. That said, there have been more than one adventure over the years which has had a different name at the Con vs. when it goes up on the website (usually BI's at that).

HP8? "The Mountain and the Phoenix" by Henry Lopez
HP9? "A Tale of Three Brothers" by Henry Lopez
HP10? "Sweeping the Board Clean" by Henry Lopez
HP11? "Make a Fist Before Striking" by Henry Lopez, James Zwiers, and Jim Beck


Are any of these out?

No, they were what was GOING to be released last Origins, but weren't. As we still don't have closure on the Ansharan artifact storyline from before the Battle of Tultipet, I left these up because they (or mods that are similar) will probably be released at Origins THIS year.

the Mountain and the Phoenix was renamed The Words of the Seer.

TMK the other three aren't out yet.

so were not going to get bi that follows Words of the Seer as a home play?

No, PCI announced last year that they would no longer be releasing BIs for home play...I think the reasoning was that they wanted a reward for players who put in the effort to attend conventions (a unique experience), and I believe that there was also a fair bit of work required to make the BIs something they could make publicly available.

With that said, PCI also announced that BIs would no longer give XP, and that went out the window...so who knows?

I wish PCI would revisit and reconsider that decision. Converting the BIs is supposed to be a pain but it would be another two rounds that would be released to the public. Last year there were around 8 rounds released to the public. So adding 2 rounds would be a non-trivial improvement.

It was also mentioned that future BIs would be less critical to the overall story. That was probably true of this years BI (though I thought it was pretty cool). Though it was probably less true of Tultipet as it is clearly a major piece of the story...not to mention of special significance to players of Tultipetan dwarves.

I would like to see the Tultipet BI released for homeplay...

thats all great for those who have the time and money to go to every convention that PCI goes to but for those of us who get to go to one a year.... or like my wife who doesn't get to go any or not every year... i feel like i'm missing a great part of the story with bi('s) that are missing...if you want to make con goers feel special inside... give them some thing you can only get at the con or make the event a sidestory... but lets not punish those who buy the stuff play with friends and enjoy the story... i'm going to gencon again this year so... where's my exclusive... we only gotten one in 4 years...

As someone who can only make maybe 3 cons in any given 2 year period lately, I can 100% empathize with this. That said, while it does push the greater world story somewhat, I am not all that sure if the Battle of Tultipet or the fight against Iakhovas was necessarily important to the A2: The Coming of the Destroyer plot (at least from what we can see on the ground of where that is going). The same is true for the exclusive events at ArcaniCon with the Battle of Mil Takara, the Vault of Larissa's Lament, or the Twin Festivals of Savona.

That said, should there be an ultimate battle which dictates the world and is the. . . cap to a storyline, I wholeheartedly agree that it should be made available for public play.
