[QUOTE="Felon, post: 3472499, member: 8158"] I've had this a few days and can't decide if it's really cool or a waste of time. The lead-in to Sigil is problematic. The players just get ambushed by some drow, and from there they are expected to just hop into the portal Sigil with little incentive to do so. And once they're in Sigil, they're expected to make a beeline for the Styx Oarsman, even though they just stepped into Oz on acid. Details are not handed out in any of organized manner, a problem which is largely the result of the Tactical Encounter format. The DM will find himself flipping back and forth between looking for where some bit of info was revealed. Some stuff is really buried; a creature called Nidbogg is referred to repeatedly throughout the Yggdrasil section, but you have to be in the middle of reading a tactical encounter to actually find out what they're talking about. Even by Weapon of Legacy standards, Spidersilk and Thass impose some pretty stiff penalties. I can't imagine any player wanting the benefits they provide at those costs. [/QUOTE]
