[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 8282214, member: 54629"] I ran not quite half of it before we all got a bit burnt out on it. It doesn’t quite stick to the Greek theme, the island-hopping on the ship bit is very hit-or-miss. I can’t speak to the second half, but a lot of it reads like what it is: stretch goals that needed more development. (Everything post-Battle of Mytros was originally going to be released separately but they decided to incorporate it all into te main book, which means the thing is massive and unfortunately the binding can’t quite handle the heft very well. Mine started to fall apart almost right away.) As with the WotC 5e adventures, this one requires a ton of work on the part of the DM, not least because it was written by video game guys, so it can be a bit railroady at times. Personally I wouldn’t recommend it. Mythic Odysseys of Theros hits the mark with the Greek theme a lot better, in my opinion. The downside is it’s more of a setting than a pre-made campaign, so there’s a lot more DIY. I wish it had come out before I started running Odyssey as I think it may have helped make it more enjoyable. The Greek theme in Odyssey of the Dragonlords basically just amounts to window dressing. I was very disappointed and couldn’t even bring myself to finish up with the encounter with Lutheria. We just left it hanging. EDIT: Happy to write more if you’re interested (and when I’m not on my phone). [/QUOTE]
