[QUOTE="DimitriX, post: 4233331, member: 63781"] I've got mine and read through it. Unfortunately, I think there are just enough rules missing that running the adventure without the core books (at least the PHB) will be rather difficult. It won't be impossible. But, there is no indication if standing from a prone position provokes an opportunity attack. This is a real problem because there are a LOT of ways for a creature to be knocked prone in this adventure. I contacted WotC customer service and they said that they won't answer rules questions until the books come out. Well, one just came out! Also, I don't know how illumination and vision work together. I have a guess, but for $30, I don't want to guess. Also, there aren't any lists of items to buy, so going to town with your loot is kind of pointless. I'm ok with the lists not being in the book. I think that's asking too much of the quickstart rules. I've told my players that we'll just skip that part of the adventure until the core books come out. So, if you just have to run something related to 4e right now, then the adventure is a good introduction. However, if you want to run it right, then you should wait until the core books are out.
