[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 8224096, member: 6801060"] I was about to comment on the exact same thing concerning alignment - several, although not all, NPCs are given alignments, so it appears it's still going to be used, albeit sparingly, in the future. As for quick scans of the first few adventures (I've looked through the first five so far), they are so far pretty enjoyable. They do seem to focus on exploration and problem-solving rather than outright combat (although that's always an option). In fact, [I]Book of the Raven[/I], [I]A Deep and Creeping Darkness[/I], and [I]Shemshine's Bedtime Rhyme[/I] very much focus on creating an unsettling moods and creepy settings. [I]The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces[/I] looks to be a really nifty and fun 1st-level adventure, and could easily be used for new players as an introduction to the game. My only complaint so far is that [I]Book of the Raven [/I]could do with a little more plot structure - there's little reason for the final part to be visited or even known about, unless the wereravens basically say "Why don't you do this and go there?" A minor hint or clue to entice the characters to cross over into that region probably needs to be dropped in somewhere. [/QUOTE]
