[QUOTE="Neqroteqh, post: 49151, member: 1821"] Faction War, Die Vecna Die, and Apocalypse Stone are all "destroy the campaign setting" modules, so they won't appeal to some. But since I don't think a campaign is complete without it being destroyed (Moorcock and Final Fantasy influence), these modules are indespensable. :) As for the DL modules, they're only a "railroad fest" if you run them as such... they make for great epic play. I'd love to see someone come out with another world-spanning epic, "save the world" quest like that one again. (Once again, the influence of Final Fantasy on my conception of gaming is shining through). As for book 2 of Night Below, it looked just as good as Book 1 and Book 3... I'll be running it shortly. The Rockseer Elves will be interesting, interacting with my Elven/Elven-Multicultural party... Thieves and Wizards were way to vanilla for my taste. Paladins, Druids, and Bards actually added something to the game- and made my friends want to play characters with those classes for once! Okay, I'll agree with you there. But I loved the tinker gnomes. And I'd like to see another huge "save the world" quest module. I never played it, all I know was that it was different from most any other setting. What is it that you people don't like about metaplots? I like metaplots! I'll admit, I haven't read it, I'm just going by hearsay. I would take a look at it, but since I run my own setting and none of the new ravenloft stuff looks very good for cannibalization and absorption into my campaign, I don't plan to buy it any time soon.
