[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8105067, member: 16814"] Yes, I'm familiar with how artic daylight works. Artic winter twilight isn't very bright -- go outside about 30 mins before your local sunrise and that's peak brightness at noon in the arctic. It's brutal, and only lasts for about a month during the arctic winter, after which the sun does rise above the horizon and you get direct sunlight. What the module is claiming is worse that a full arctic winter and has lasted for two years. It would be better to not try to lecture dismissively when you're not fully clear on the ramifications of your claims. Sure, but the module says the things that require light and seasons have survived two years without but now are in danger. It might have been a slow slide, or sudden, we don't know, only that it's now a problem that requires heroes when it didn't before. You do know that you just said that your way of playing is better and I should accept your way of playing, yes? That if I have an issue with the premise setup of the module, that it's because I care about the wrong things in the game and should just care about the right ones? Because the fundamental difference is one of play priorities -- I like a strong premise that holds at least some water without additional work and you don't care so much about that. You're now saying that you've the better way to play and that my looking for a stronger premise to anchor characters into the setting and plot is unimportant because you just want to jump to the action and get to the cool locations, like an upside-down tower. I'm ecstatic that this module is good for you, and happy that you're going to have a ton of fun playing it. I'm going to have to do work, and would prefer if you would stop demeaning my play so you can make internet points. Thanks. And, again, I disagree with all the statements that WotC sucks or are hacks. I'm specifically talking about things that I will have to address to make play more enjoyable for my table and not blaming WotC for not catering to me explicitly. [/QUOTE]
