[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 7679368, member: 2067"] The dark whimsy especially strikes me as a little Planescape-y. I might like it because it reminds me a little of that. Some of the most hilarious things in PS were monsters and horrors and idiots who would quickly wind up dead. The reminder that life in this setting is nasty, brutish, and short had a dark humor to it that was very distinct and appreciated. It was very evocative of the low wit of a Dickensian dystopia. All the wonders of heaven and earth and all the horrors, too. And over here we have the Pudding King, who will undoubtedly be melting the flesh off of innocent gnomes or somesuch, but his name is the Pudding King, and his pets are oozes, and that doesn't mean he won't be announcing his presence to illusory trumpets blaring over the tortured screams of his victims. That's hilarious and dark and [I]I want to run that scene[/I]. Those are high expectations - the adventure might not live up to that hype - but it looks like it could. Y'know, my current character in a Dragonlance campaign is a tinker gnome wild mage who is a little cartoonish and definitely mad and wants to slay the gods, and now I'm a little sad he'll be used up and not in the running for this campaign. ;) [/QUOTE]
