Other than her, what about the rest of the table?

Trying to determine just how brutally out of touch I am now.

When adventure books are badly written, the writers tend to be the reason. Putting a bad writer onto another project doesn't usually result in a good outcome. Pretty self-explanatory.

Everyone else was open to it. This is a table of Millennials and possibly one elder Gen Z.

I guess we see in about 24 months if these hires were good for Dungeons and Dragons

Adventures are boring/silly/dumb and the setting itself makes no sense. It's essentially written like a socialist utopia where nothing really bad can ever happen. I mean, if you want a D&D setting where the PC's don't actually adventure, and instead just enter cooking competitions, then I suppose it would cater to that crowd.

No, Star Trek's Earth (and its federation of planets) is a socialist utopia. Almost all of their adventures occur out in deep space. That's very different from the adventures in this book which almost all take place in or around said utopia.

Buywhat measure? And where is your data? The big bookscan sales data we have all seems to be before this adventure. I couldn't find any data on this book. Maybe @FitzTheRuke can give us an idea how it sold at his store?

It is also worth noting that In 2023 is was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Game Writing and won the Silver ENNIE Award for Best Adventure. So it seems more than a few people thought it was a good book.

Finally, since you didn't seem to know that vast majority of the adventures don't take place at the Radiant Citadel, I don't think I am going to take your word for it on the writing our the designers involved.
