I'd see it more like "Two years ago we had a terrible growing season and the passes were open for but a short time. Winter came early and stayed late. Last year was worse! Harvest was early; pickings were meagre; passes were treacherous even in mid-summer. A lot of our usually-loaded stores never got filled, and now we're running out. And yet, spring looks like it's not even coming! Worse yet, even the sun seems to have forsaken us! It looks like it's further away all the time, rather than comin' back!"(Que cannibalism)Early on in this discussion there was a lot of talk about how much work it would be to fix. It's perfectly fine for people to feel that way - I think it's well established that we're all different.  For someone to say (like I probably did) "Naw, it's EASY!" does not take away from those who find it hard, but there is some hope that people who found the premise to be a barrier might be freed up to enjoy it by learning how others got past it.I don't think anyone has meant to suggest that people weren't "allowed" to have a problem with the adventure as written. I'm pretty sure no one here would say that it's themostperfectthingIeverread. And there's nothing wrong with having a rant about the things you don't like about it. But it wouldn't be much of a discussion if everyone just said "Yeah! Hear hear! Down with it!" I'd think counter-arguments, meant constructively (which very nearly all have been) would be welcome.(Note: I'm in no way suggesting that you, Galandris, do not welcome the discussion. I'm speaking in-general.)</blockquote>
