It's well written etc... but there is nothing there that grabs you enough where you go, "Yep, I can run a campaign all the way to Epic levels with this".There are lots of little hooks but I like mine big, more like themes than hooks, themes that inspire whole campaigns. That way I always have a strong sense of backstory even when I "wing it" which I tend to do a lot.Personally, as much as I think AU is a pretty solid and high quality publication (as were the modules... but, again, relatively bland), I would prefer to satiate my appetite for not-so-core D&D with either (or both) Midnight and Dawnforge both of which have fairly different and innovative rules but where there seems to be a deeper well of inspiration for the DM to draw from.I also seem to recall that Monte himself doesn't use AU that much in his home games. Is this correct?Notwithstanding these comments, I bought the Legacy of the Dragons PDF today and am pleased with what I have read so far, even though I will simply be using it in other non-AU games.</blockquote>
