As a GM, would I add more?  Absolutely.  Run some things differently?  Absolutely.  But then both things can be said of every adventure I have ever run.  And frankly that is part of the fun of published adventures.  They give you a great framework and you take that and make them yours.  This adventure really got out of the way on some of those details - I see it as a feature.  I really liked Phandelver, and I like this to.  Enough that I will be purchasing the second half.  I want WOTC to make all different kinds of adventures, campaigns, and adventure paths - not follow a rigid formula.  So far the two adventure releases do that.  I think it does what it was designed to do.  An interesting point (that probably says more about me than the adventure) is that becasue of it, I went out and purchased the Neverwinter 4e book for some more details on FR as I haven't played it since the grey box.  It is now the only 4e book I have.   If it was me, I would have release a version of this along side the adventure, but they have been really focused on the 5e rules.  So their strategy makes sense.  I just want to spend more money I guess.  I get this way when I get excited about something.  And 5e has me excited.Cheers.</blockquote>
