Check out EN World's official pre-release review of the upcoming D&D 4E boxed set from WotC. The Shadowfell: Gloomwrought and Beyond is an awesome new campaign/adventure setting for D&D <ACRONYM title="D&D 4th Edition">4E</ACRONYM>, and goes a long way to fill in “lore gaps” which cropped up with the changes to the new cosmology, much in the way that The Plane Below: Secrets of the Elemental Chaos and The Plane Above: Secrets of the Astral Sea did for the outer planar realms. While the amount of material in The Shadowfell: Gloomwrought and Beyond was comparable to the contents of the previous planar setting books (about 160 pages worth), the inclusion of the token sheets and the Despair Deck popped the final retail price up by ten bucks - and that’s over the price of a hardbound book! But there is certainly enough great material in this box to make it well worth consideration for any DM to pick up, and this campaign setting could easily keep heroes busy for level after level of gloom-and-doom questing in the realm of the Raven Queen.
