[QUOTE="Dualazi, post: 7725260, member: 6855537"] The mini-dungeon tome looked awesome at the start, since my 2 groups can sometimes have sketchy schedules with real life constantly getting in the way of D&D (how dare it!), and this could be used for easy filler for temp DMs. Then my enthusiasm withered as I noticed that fully 50% of the book looks slated for levels 1-6, which is the area of the game already most covered by existing WOTC content and also some of the quickest to be passed by. I'm not trying to say that books shouldn't cater to the assumed audience, but it's frustrating that one of the more common refrains across the community is the dearth of high level content across the board, and even 3rd party sources don't seem to be changing that. The Dark obelisk bestiary looks good... as in suspiciously too-good-to-be-true good. Not saying the author is being disingenuous, and I'd love it if that much monster content was actually produced, but even with the stat blocks being modifications of the same creature that is a staggering amount of work he's describing. When I think of how long it took me to receive projects like the Tome of Beasts, I dunno if it's worth backing something I might not see for several years. This is further amplified by the very, very low initial bid of 2000$ on KS, which seems weird for the amount of content. I'll keep an eye on it, but something feels off here. [/QUOTE]
