[QUOTE="Lidgar, post: 7743969, member: 28334"] I think it is a very good book. I love the sturdiness of it and the thickness of the pages. Print is easy to read. Agree that it could use some improvements on organization. I would have preferred that for the 5e conversion, they integrated B1/B2 into a more comprehensive campaign. While they set it up that way, it is awkward to puzzle together with them separated out. The DM tips are nice, but I don't know how many beginner DMs will pick this up. The 5e Starter Set is certainly a better place for newbies to start. The tips are more in line with "if you want to DM with a more old school vibe, do this." The 5e conversion work on B1 is pretty impressive. They took what is essentially an outline module and made it much more cohesive. Nice job on B2 too, but there was more material to start with there. Campaign-wise, it makes sense to start the PC's at the Keep, have them hear rumors about Zelligar/Rogahn, and lead them to B1 first. Diving straight into the Caves of Chaos with 1st level characters would be, um, [I]unwise[/I]. [/QUOTE]
