So, 12-18 pages per Module, each including a short Adventute and a brief Gazateer.

So awesome! I just wish they had an intro adventure out early.

Yep.

I would've liked a lot more on the setting itself, but pure settings are not en vogue today, so they were smart not to do that.

I think we’ll get more in the DMSGUILD. At least I hope so.

The authors are also banding together to expand them on the DMsGuild, so they aren't going to be left abandoned.

Good. "I have money; I buy things. Give me a setting!"

I hope they do the delux print on demand thing

I'm not really interested in the actual Radiant Citadel - but I'm planning to strip the adventures and integrate them into my homebrew, since my campaign world has a wide variety of cultures and this is the first product basically allowing me to find adventures for all the different parts of my world.

 

[Rhineglade]

So far this looks very promising. Love all the artwork. I saw a streamed game when they played "The Fiend of Hollow Mine" and I really liked it.

This is exciting to me. I hope this format works because the idea of getting mini-settings mixed with adventures in those mini-settings is one that is really attractive to me.

I'd love to have seen Ravenloft done up this way - I personally tend to get a much better feel for a setting from adventures set in that setting rather than from pure setting write ups or even game fiction.

 

[Retreater]

Looking at the page counts, they seem like a collection of one-shots. Those are valuable to have, but why have a gazetteer and lots of background information for a one-shot - when you play it and you're done in four hours?

Because DMs can use that info to create more extensive follow-up campaigns if they wish.

All thirteen settings are fair game for DMsGuild creators as well, so you should see plenty more adventures making use of those gazetteers.

100% agreed

Show the setting with adventures don't tell me about the setting with encyclopedia entry.

The point is a Stargate SG-1 style "Planet of the Week" style campaign: a series of one-shot Adventures, but with some meat for each Setting that can be reused or expanded by the DM...or on DMsGuild.

So it's kinda the opposite of something designed to be dropped into your existing campaign?

No, it's the uber thing with tons of things that could be dropped into your campaign. With a thing that can tie them together. Take what you want and leave the rest.

No, it's a both/and situation. It can be used to drop stuff in, but has a framework that allows for distinct Settings to be included.
