[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 6364837, member: 20741"] I agree. I would also want to compare the text in the D&D Adventurer's League PDF of Tyranny of Dragons with the text in the hardcover. They may well be identical - I just don't know if they are or not. If I am going to slag the encounter as written, it seems only fair to get that fact established - first. However, comparing what Azmyth ran to the list obscured by the spoilers posted by Mad Zagyg above, I could [B]clearly[/B] see most of what I played in his spoiler notes. Azmyth told me he created the first part before we got to Greenest on his own - and tht part did not appear in those notes. Whether those notes were pasted in from the PDF or not, I don't know. I know that Azmyth was running his game session based upon the D&D Adventurer's League PDF. I have asked Azmyth to post here but he has lost his password and seems disinclined to remedy that. I have ordered the hardcover and should receive it by Thursday - so I will look at the hardcover text and at the least confirm if the summary posted by Mad Zagyg is repeated in the hardcover as well. Assuming that is probably is, I guess that we can see what the problems are and how it is that they happened. They are the product of the OP program getting in the way of the needs of home play. Still I prefer [B]not[/B] to judge the text of a work I have not carefully read based upon [I]guesses[/I] [I]and assumptions.[/I] That's not being fair. I do know that what I played [B]I liked[/B]. It seems that was largely as a result of some inspired DMing, but, that doesn't change the fact I liked it; I really did. Mind you, I never experienced the full list of all of those tasks without resting or leveling! If that grind Mad Zagygg noted had transpired at my table, I can well expect that my Topic Header would have been very different. I want to wait and verify all of this and form a judgement myself based on the paper product I know people will buy -- not simply the game session I had the fortune of playing, or the PDF playtest that may or may not be the final version.
