[QUOTE="KirayaTiDrekan, post: 6408612, member: 6755061"] Quick replies before I get to the next review... Drow jumped the shark for me in Dragon #298. There was an article that talked about drow twins and triplets murdering eachother in-utero. That was just too much. I could see demons and devils and such having something like that going on but for drow it was just ridiculous and over the top. In my "Everything D&D Ever" play-by-post campaign (spoilers for my players) I am taking a different approach with them - they are banished from elven society for taking elven xenophobia to a genocidal extreme during the war against Blackmoor. The survivors of Blackmoor want to see them tried and executed for war crimes but the other elven clans won't allow it and come to the compromise of exiling them to the underdark. Regarding S1, I have some ideas for how I'm going to integrate it into my campaign (its actually going to the second adventure in the EDDE campaign). (Spoilers again) As with every adventure in EDDE, I'm tweaking the backstory a bit while keeping some key elements. In my version, Acererak is still an apprentice of Vecna, shortly after the fall of Blackmoor, but conspired with Kas to betray Vecna. Vecna punished Acererak by imprisoning him in the Tomb of Horrors. Vecna is thus the one responsible for the death traps and such, wanting to ensure Acererak is never released. By destroying the demilich skull, the PCs will be unknowingly releasing Acererak, who will show up later in the campaign as either an antagonist or potential ally of necessity. If the PCs fail, then Acer remains imprisoned. Regarding B1, I like the backstory well enough, its just going to be a bit of a chore to populate. And, as for the module I'm currently reading, C1, a bit of a sneak preview of my review - I love it! I think it may be my favorite so far...though that depends on whether it keeps its niftiness throughout since I haven't finished reading it yet. [/QUOTE]
