[QUOTE="mrswing, post: 8874530, member: 9984"] I was struck how much this campaign resembles a much improved Tyranny of Dragons. It also begins with an attack on a village, there is a search for powerful magic to prohibit the Dragon Queen's army from fulfilling its plans (with similar results), there's a flying castle... But here, for the most part the storyline flows much more logically and you actually get the sense that something big is going on and the powers that be take the matter seriously. In the later chapters there are some missing links (finding the City of Lost Names entrance is neither logical nor cool, the way to enter the Citadel is iffy, and how did mr. average NPC manage to scout out so much info for the PCs???) but solutions can be found for these things. I do wish we had a better idea of the troop sizes of the Dragonarmy and the City of Kalaman though, because now it often feels as if the city just has a rag-tag bunch of hapless defenders while they manage to hold off an unstoppable juggernaut and traipse all around the continent as well. Still, definitely one of the better WOTC narrative campaigns and it has many setpieces that can lead to really memorable sessions. [/QUOTE]
