I am really happy they have it set up so it supports an open living world style of play, in addition to the traditional "here's your plot, go to the jungle" linear style.

I love the map included in the adventure! Can run an old fashioned Hex Crawl with it!

This sounds great. I appreciate how much thought they've put into adventure design, and call-outs to prior adventures, and the progression through the adventure, unveiling mysteries as you go, all of it.

And the module sounds cool, too.

It's wrong. Like when people pronounce "drow" as in "throw".

Oh man, people do that? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I do hear Skim-a-tar often enough though. *twitches*

And “min-it-arr”.

Which way? The questioner or Chis Perkins?
