[QUOTE="Zarithar, post: 7916233, member: 59488"] I backed the KS for Tegel Manor for a couple of reasons: [LIST=1] [*]The original is a classic plain and simple and I was excited to see a modern conversion/update. [*] Frog God puts out quality products [/LIST] I like lists, so I'll continue with that format. First, the good: [LIST=1] [*]The artwork is great [*]The bestiary is good. More monsters that I can drop in to any game I am running as I see fit. Always a plus. [/LIST] The bad: [LIST=1] [*]The TEXT is horrible. You are presented with walls of text for each section of the book describing rooms, locations, etc. There is no apparent organization to this. [*]No boxed text. Yes I know it is "old school" but I was there and playing in those days, and let me be the first to tell you that boxed text is NOT a new concept. It has been around for decades and is used for a reason. At the very minimum I want a short description of the room/location that I can then summarize or paraphrase as I see fit (or read in its entirety). [*]The map is a confusing mess. Absolutely horrible and hard to navigate or make sense of. [/LIST] Now - before people accuse me of bashing Frog God, I want to reiterate that for the most part I love their products. I also backed Tome of Horrors which is an excellent and quirky monster book. I love it. In addition, I was a backer of Sea King's Malice, a module which is laid out in a logical way with my beloved boxed text! Rappun Athuk is legendary for its size and complexity - but let me tell you - it is far easier to navigate/understand than Tegel Manor. Had I know about these issues before I backed, it would have been a hard pass from me. [/QUOTE]
