[QUOTE="roversaurus, post: 139395, member: 3388"] I really liked 3 of them: The Blood Soaked Seal: This was really a cool story and NPC. Really an epic event. Freeing someone long imprisoned by the gods is a staple of a lot of good books. I liked the imagery of his blood seeping into the grooves of the seal. To Defy the Setting Sun: I really liked the NPC. The idea of two great enemies controlling the same body one at night and one at day. That's an idea I might use. The shrine was a clever idea (The "punny" subtitle was horrible :-) The Granite Beak: This was straight forward. I liked the location a lot. A little bit of legend thrown in and a great place for bandits. Harpies as a monster are unexpected. I couldn't make up my mind so I asked myself which one was I more likely to use in my campaign at a moments notice? The Granite Beak got my vote. The others would take more work to fit into my campaign, although I enjoyed reading them more. The Haunted Box Canyon This was kind of a nice quick dungeon. But no real NPC. Ruins and Statues The NPC and the location were interesting. But they were very, very seperate. I kind of thought the NPC and location were suppose to be seperate and the encounter brought them together. I didn't see an encounter with the gargoyle. Mom's Butcher Shop Because this is winning in the voting I won't make the author feel too bad by insulting it. After all, everyone else says it's good. I'm just one kook. I thought this was horrible. It just seemed contrived. The bad guys went through a lot of unnecessary effort just to be gruesome. I just can't envision this set up. Hmmm, Perhaps if you said the bad guys used the shop infrequently it might be more believable. But claiming that murder victims create a CHEAP supply of meat is ridiculous. There is not much meat there. The murderer must be paid. The thugs who arrange transportation and and butchering must be paid. And they will need to be paid a premium in order to keep quite. Prisoners for the Web This was also a nice quick encounter to throw in at will.
