[QUOTE="Mad Zagyg, post: 6676399, member: 47680"] I have just started running [I]Princes of the Apocalypse[/I]. It's good, but not as good as [I]Lost Mine of Phandelver[/I], in my opinion. [I]Princes[/I] suffers from a few logistical gameplay problems and does not convert seamlessly into the suggested region of Hommlet. This is especially true for someone that has run both the original [I]Temple of Elemental Evil[/I] and the sequel adventure, [I]Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil[/I]. I'm not saying it can't be done; I've done so, but with a substantial amount of work. It stretches somewhat outside the boundaries of verisimilitude by plopping the new locales into the Kron Hills region (Feathergale Spire was right over there? Why didn't we hear about that place before?). Also, I spent a good deal of time incorporating the Red Larch locales and plot line into the established community and history of the town of Hommlet. It's the kind of stuff that some DMs won't care about at all, but grumpy and entrenched grognards like me piss and moan about. If interested, here are my suggested locations for placement of the [I]Princes of the Apocalypse[/I] in the Kron Hills region: [close up of Hommlet and environs] [URL]http://www.battlegroundgames.com/greyhawk/princes_close.jpg[/URL] [wider scale regional map] [URL]http://www.battlegroundgames.com/greyhawk/princes_regional.jpg[/URL] [/QUOTE]
