    D&D 5E (2014) Chains of Asmodeus: Official 286-Page Nine Hells Book & Adventure Released!

    You know very well there's some people for whom the zeitgeist doesn't accomodate their hurt feelings.

    Yep, should be granted in the thief subclass and the criminal background and left out of default rogue chassis.

    It would have been much better received if it wasn't called Dragonheist.

    Yep, certainly less waste of money if it turns out terrible. (like Strixhaven)

    The same annoying NPC "plot assistant" existed in the Dragonlance adventure.

    D&D General Jaquaying the dungeon - a term to avoid

    Inappropriate behaviour, as in being banned from an online forum? Pretty tame stuff. The way you seem to be harping on about I expect to see bodies in his basement.

    Do you think it’s a good thing that explaining the muddled layout and organisational issues of this adventures requires pages of text? “This adventure isn’t badly crafted, as I will show in this 15,000 word explanation!”

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    1) Lost Mines isn't in print, this is. 2) Is there info connecting Icespire Peak to Shattered Obelisk? No, it seems not. If you want to save word count you can delete the entire irrelevant section on the spellweavers, since it is never relevant to the adventure and is reprinted from the...

    At the very least, the new book should have had copious sidebars on integrating it with Dragon of Icespire Peak with plenty of links between this material and that. It would be good for setting continuity and brand synergy.

    I posted it in the thread as additional point to add what was being discussed. I never believed or implied that it was the main thrust of the discussion of the product's flaws. For some reason you've become rather monomaniacally fixated on that single point?

    Someone in this thread even pointed out something that Alexander missed - the innkeeper changes name and race twice! (they changed it from the original phandelver adventure, but forgot to change all the references, most likely)

    Come off it. He wrote a separate blog post.

    D&D General Dungeons & Dragons Sneak Peek at Gameholecon: 50th Anniversary Adventure, Rod of Seven Parts, The Endless Stair, Tsojcanth, Barrier Peaks?

    Gygax basically set up a situation where the ethnic mix might resemble modern North America. (His Flan/Oerdian/Baklunish were not directly analogous to real-world ethnicities). Fitting for a world which is pretty much a fantasy Great-lakes region, complete with Greyhawk/Chicago.

    Yes that was what I got from his post.
