[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8931931, member: 42040"] All I know is that the most recent stuff I've purchased from them has been of poor quality. The other stuff you've mentioned isn't even out yet - so you're being as optimistic for no reason as I'm being pessimistic for no reason, right? Hard to get an opinion of something in shrink wrap you can't actually look at (Spelljammer). So I have to trust the very wide pool of reviews I've watched and read. Van Richten's Guide (the last thing I purchased - with Christmas cash) was moderately worth the discounted price on Amazon ($15). Call of the Netherdeep (actually checked out and read from my local library) was a toothless bore of an adventure that can be beaten by an NPC party while the group is on auto pilot Hoard of the Dragon Queen - I've ran it when 5e first came out. It's Forest Oracle quality dreck. Candlelight Mysteries and Radiant Citadel - flipped through them and scanned through a couple adventures. Don't seem useful for the price. Maybe if I could get an individual one that seemed interesting, but I'm not buying a $40-50 hardcover thinking I "might" use a 3 page adventure. Rime of the Frostmaiden - the most recent adventure I tried to run. Was hot garbage, nonsensical, and pointless. [/QUOTE]
