[QUOTE="Windjammer, post: 7647669, member: 60075"] Thank you for this very thoughtful review. I must say, I was a bit suspicious about some of your past reviews, but this one and the previous one (on Heroes of the Feywild) really show you as a very scrupolous and fair minded reviewer. As to the price point, from your description of the product I wouldn't personally compare it so much to another hardbook as to a 4E Classic adventure. You know, the HPE series which came in a folder, featuring two booklets (together at ca. 100 pages) with a poster map. Sounds pretty much like what you have here. Those adventures retailed at 25 dollars back in 2008-2009. I think adding 5 dollars when we near 2012 is not too far fetched. Anyway, thanks again for the review. I'm going to give this a pass, especially when James Raggi has just re-published [I]Corcosa[/I], which [I]is [/I]for mature audiences, but I really appreciate such an honest and all round informative break down of the content.
