MEG's Urban Blight -- your thoughts wanted

[Napftor]

Thanks, Xarlen. This does seem like it was hit or miss among the varied locales. As mentioned earlier, Urban Blight was cobbled together from many different authors and I would attribute this kind of problem to that. I think this can be easily corrected for Beyond the Walls.

And it looks like I am guilty of this even with "Flavour Country", in which a real description isn't given until the "Location Details" portion while the EL stuff is in "Brief Description." Thanks again for the feedback!

Well, a nice little summery at the beginning would've been doable. True it was a cobbling together, but it could've been stuck in, after the authors got all that piled in.

But, it looks like a Good Product. I gotta ask thoug, I remember there being a preview, at one point, of a dark Art Gallery. Which one is that?

Note I just thumbed through this in the store (The reason I was complaining about the lack of section summeries ).

I just got it a few days ago so have not had a chance to read it completely. What I have read I really like though. I read the Travelstead Library and will definately include it in my campaign after some window dressing to make it work.

I also read Sar-Ra-Tu's Gaming House. I have been thinking of creating a gambling den and will probably use it as a basis for that work.

Tomb of Amir-Hamma is probably going into my encounter/location file when I need something quick and easy to base a story around.

My favorite I saved for last: The Shard. This one is almost worth the cost of the book alone for me. I am already planning on fleshing out Loren Shart as a central NPC for my campaign. The idea of making my PC's need Shart's help and knowing the truth about him will just make their skin crawl everytime they hit a dead end and have to go to him for something.

If the rest of the book is like the above sections, I am hooked! Good work guys.

Xarlen: I'm not sure which one had the art gallery. I'll have to check my book later and get back to you.

mikey: Glad you found some goodies in there without even reading everything yet. Places like a gambling den aren't something you find in every product and is probably a good selling point.

Hey, this thread's getting noticed a bit more! Keep it up!

I just remembered this question and thumbed through the book. There doesn't appear to be a dark art gallery, Xarlen. I must say it's a pretty cool idea though!

And I guess one could consider this a bump, but I'd never admit it.

I *know* I saw a prieview, somewhere, that mentioned a dark Art gallery. I don't know where, but it gave 'previews' of a page or two. Hrm...

And, any possibility that people could submit stuff for Beyond the Walls?

 

[Napftor]

Officially, any submission requests should go to Doug at MEG.

Unofficially, I guess I can say that there is a core team of three (more or less) writers working on the rest of the Foul Locales line. I would not rule out the possibility of others providing web enhancements or, if a submission is particularly good, who knows...? Anyway, I'm going to refer you to the head honcho before I get into trouble.

Thanks again for your comments.

And, how can I find Doug?
