[QUOTE="Garnfellow, post: 3484335, member: 1223"] I hadn't planned to pick this up, even though I really like Baur's work. My PCs are 12th level right now, just kicked ass in the Vault of the Drow, are about to take on the Kingdom of the Ghouls, and will probably be 13th or 14th level by the time they're done that, and ready for the Harrowing. However, I had a chance to browse through a copy last night, and what I saw was enough to get my to order it. I am rather concerned about some of the reported editing problems, like with the cambion. And it sounds like the connective narrative is a little complicated and tenuous in places. But a few things won me over: 1. This is a dang good looking book. Normally I am a very utilitarian kind of guy, but this was nice enough to make me interested. 2. An unexpected side benefit of the new delve format? Individual encounters can be more easily peeled out of the adventure and dropped elsewhere as needed. When I run the Harrowing, I can easily see cherry-picking some of the cooler encounters for when the PCs are in the Demonweb. Instead of looking at the book as a cohesive adventure, I'm looking at it more as a collection of interesting encounters unified by a theme. In that respect, this seems like a pretty useful tool for my needs. [/QUOTE]
