[QUOTE="WhatGravitas, post: 4570970, member: 33132"] Ah, great module. I ran it in 4E this summer with a somewhat dodgy conversion (which worked out well in the end), so I'm afraid I cannot give you tips on mechanical issues. Story-wise, I thought the love story was iffy... this is why I notched up the futility of the whole thing, that Quinn feels guilty, but not in love. Also that they *were* lovers but issues have broken the bond between them, among these events was also that the "good" fey was involved in that and seduced Quinn in the first place what led to arguing... and ultimately to the imprisonment in the shard (because fey may be helpful and nice to you, but they don't really get mortal morality and values). For the atmosphere... watch [I]Sweeney Todd[/I] like twice in a row before you run this, it fits well. My players also enjoyed the Freak Show and had fun when they interacted with the townpeople and the carnies. A fun ally and NPC was also Udmor, the one-headed ettin, I played his living head as dumb but good-spirited... and the other head was a gibbering undead psychopath head that was used by Udmor as a biting makeshift club. I also think he was the only NPC who got a real happy end from the story, as they helped him to get his head restored (after the carnival). Furthermore, I turned the guy who led the brothel-tent into a personal enemy of one of the PCs, so that also helped, especially since the character there is pretty cut & paste, i.e. any shady character could fill his position.
