[QUOTE="ASEO, post: 2009226, member: 12224"] Queen of Lies: 5 Superb Please read Psion's review for a synopsis of the plot of this adventure. Cost/page count is fine I liked the art by Claudio Poza but agree that the Drow looked a bit too human. The cover art by Brian LeBlank is good as well and I thought better on this product than his other projects. I'd still like to see a Pozas cover. That said, on to my review of the interior of the adventure. I really enjoyed reading this adventure and will use it in my game. It has a good first edition feel. Having said that, like many first edition modules the in route travel path is very linear and while I don't mind, a DM could easily in-put underdark encounters from other sources. Once the party and all their possible henchmen reach the main cavern and it's three towers the direction of the adventure is left more to the PC. This is a dungeon crawl, but where the PCs go first is up to the PCs. There are plenty of interesting NPC, but the interaction with them will most likely combat oriented. There is a Albino Drow, a Mindflayer posing as a drow, and a mutant Siamese twin Drow much like the mutant leader in the movie "Total Recall". I thought that the Drow Commenors had very low Hp, several with only 1Hp. This compared with Hobgoblins with 40+hp made the Drow almost less than fodder. This is a very minor gripe since any DM can change easily Hp as they see fit. I liked the new monster, the aracnemass and its engulf ability. In review: This module has a great First edition D1-3 feel and is the best underdark module I have seen produced for 3ed. I highly recommend this adventure and urge Monte Cook to write more underdark adventures of this type for lower lever characters. Please, please, please... ASEO out [/QUOTE]
