Message: <blockquote data-quote="JustKim" data-source="post: 3231763" data-attributes="member: 5478">I found a copy today, and I like the format a lot. It has the components of the old TSR boxed set adventures, but by removing the box itself they managed to make it less expensive than the boxed sets were 10 years ago.It says that it's "the launchpad for a new D&D campaign", and looking through the plot and dungeon politics I think that line suggests it's designed for players new to the game. Looking at one of the dungeons, in particular, I see a collection of monsters living in pretty close quarters that do not really click for me as a gamer of many years. There seems to be a bad guy/good guy mentality going on, including two PHB2 affiliations that are pretty plainly "the heroes" and "the antiheroes".Even though it's simplistic, it's a very high-quality product. The cover is a folder for keeping all your booklets and notes, and on the inside are extensive encounter tables for all the areas described in the 500 mile Valley of Obelisks where the adventure takes place. Most of the booklets are occupied by frequent use of encounter areas (Like the ones in Ravenloft). The details are certainly there if you want to make the adventure more complicated.Considering that I just paid $15 for Scourge of the Howling Horde, a product of this magnitude for $25 is a bargain. I hope they do some more in the same format.</blockquote>
