[QUOTE="Motorskills, post: 6831156, member: 15921"] Firstly, I am simply grateful that folks write these things at all. I know how much work goes into them when I am behind the screen, let alone writing for DMs I'll never meet, and players that don't know each other! So, kudos. Secondly, it's great that you are so open to constructive criticism. A lot of people can't differentiate between that stuff. My hazy recollection is: "Something, something, monastery" "Something, something, missing monks" "Something, something, Air Cultists" "Something, something, holy hell Toto, we're not in Kansas any more!" All that was great. And the central amphitheatre hub thing was cool too. We then had a series of non-sequitur puzzles involving freeing marble-entrapped coma-monks who were obviously powering the DOOM ENGINE OF DOOM. That was kinda bwuh, but gonzo is fine (IMO), as long as it is in support of something larger. And this clearly was. Apparently the puzzles were related to Corrupted Tests of Purity or somesuch. Didn't understand the theme then, still don't now, nor how working out that theme was supposed to help us solve the subsequent puzzles. The place was noisy, so it was hard to hear the DM some of the time. My being tired and having a headache by the end of the night didn't help things either, for certain. But I'm unclear if those symptoms were the cause of my sub-par experience or the result of it! :) I wish I could be clearer in the feedback that I could give, but at this point I don't want to read the module, I am actually intrigued at the possibility of playing it again, seeing if my experience is totally different a second time around, and giving you some more concrete feedback that can be used to strengthen the existing document and give you tools for future offerings. Was it the module, was it the DM, was it me, was it our group? (Likelihood, some melange of all four.) [/QUOTE]
