This is incredible. I just began skimming through the PDf and immediately came upon the part where you talk about Nic euthanizing his patients. I agree so much with you. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

I actually think the most interesting thing about the campaign is the opportunities it presents to challenge the players' ideologies. Particularly in the end, despite everything the Ob do, players have either the choice to return the world to normal (doing evil by omitting to do good) or try and...

I began running the campaign over two years ago, and decided to go with 4e precisely because the monsters were so well written (seriously, they're so good, much better than official monsters even). Additionally, the unorthodox nature of the adventures makes 4e rituals really shine. We played...

I'm super excited for this adventure. My players are still in the middle of adventure 7 but I will definitely present this to them once we're finished with the adventure path. Are there any plans to bring this adventure to other systems? 5e is really not our first choice (although Level Up might...

So at the end of adventure 6 the PCs decided Pemberton might not be such a bad ruler for Ber (they hated Bruse Shantus). Both they and Pemberton stood to lose if they fought, so it really made sense to make peace, but now I'm facing the dilemma of coming up with an appropriate response from Ber...

Yes, it only happened once, but the player was very frustrated about it because while everyone else did adjust their tactics, he was pretty much out of the fight for the rest of the encounter, that's all. Evidently it will be different for every group, I'm just giving a suggestion based on my...

4e, the enemies slid them off the train. Particularly the last one I believe, the big wraith.

I would advice you to deviate a bit from the Nem encounter as written. My players did not enjoy it. They found it frustrating having to make their way through the entire length of the train, getting very far only to be teleported back to the start whenever they got hit. Other than that, try to...

I think the clock is running slow because of human error. If you mean, what's the point, I think it could maybe make players think they have more time to defuse the bomb than they actually do if they don't realize it's running slow. Regarding the train bomb, my players actually failed to defuse...

So my players and me are about to finish adventure 6 and I realized that Tinker Oddcog is subject to the obscurati geas. I was wondering how is it that he can talk so openly about the colossus, considering that information is very secret and the conspiracy obviously wouldn't want anyone knowing...

The only times I can think of when I watch something I already know I'm not going to like, it's because a friend or loved one adores it and insists on me giving it a chance. I usually end up doing it as a favor, and try to be as polite as possible when I inform them that I in fact did not enjoy it.

Wow, are you really that offended by someone having a different opinion? If you liked the review that's fine, it's really all the same to me. No need to be snarky with me. We don't even know each other.

The review left me with an unclear idea of what parts of the game work and which don't. Funnily enough, I have the impression that the adventure really isn't that good, because for example the first part seems completely disconnected from the rest of the story. I did feel the conclusion was...

I don't really care if the author feels the need to talk about that or not, my disappointment stems from the fact that the rest of the content seems lacking. For an "in-depth" review I would have really appreciated more discussion regarding the structure, pacing, characters etc. Maybe even some...

Really disappointed that this so-called review seems more concerned with analyzing perceived political implications rather than actually discussing the adventure itself.
