I really, really, really, really hate that, because I think not-believing in gods shouldn't be punished by going to Hell/being eaten by Asmodeus/becoming a devil."But the gods are real!" There is a new big faction in Planescape dedicated to proving the gods aren't real but are just powerful lifeforms co-opting divinity and using it to rule the multiverse. If that can exist but believing that gods don't exist (even if you acknowledge there is an Asmodeus, an athiest in D&D probably just sees him as a powerful and evil alien/creature) sends you to Hell, that's wack. I know I can just remove this idea but it is kind of a turn off.Otherwise, amazing book. I love the Damned Souls and Lost Souls the most. That stuff is super rich, amazing RP fuel, and really runs home the idea that this is an adventure in Hell. I also loved the maps and the bestiary. The new devils and other creatures, especially the Tyrant Shadows, are just awesome. Imagining that Asmodeus has a godly Tyrant Shadow making him more malicious and preparing to one day consume him is so cool.This adventure makes me think that Asmodeus is a bit stupid though. Lies are super common in Hell and everyone is scheming. Since Asmodeus can trick anything into a contract, he really should get like a solid 100 elder brains brought into Hell and installed on all the levels and use them to mindread all the devils. I have no idea why he would be unable to do this.</blockquote>
