[QUOTE="ZeshinX, post: 8018396, member: 6793656"] I have, yep. A while back a colleague at work had brought her copy to read during her lunch hour and I was able to leaf through it briefly while she was busy (with her permission of course). Seemed generally well organized and easy enough to follow. Certainly one of the better WotC adventures I've looked through. The unfortunate bit (unfortunate for me) is that Ravenloft does not interest me all that much. I was quite familiar with it during the 2e run and played in several games and owned a few products (Van Richten's Guide to Vampires I got a lot of use from, just for vampire lore if not much of the setting-specific elements). I was curious enough to leaf through it (CoS), seeing if anything jumped out at me, but it was never enough to suggest it was something I wanted to spend money on. CoS seemed a fine product, certainly seemed one of the better ones, but I have to be honest that my lack of interest in the setting certainly played a significant part in my thoughts of the product as a whole. My interests tend to steer closer to settings that are more...I suppose 'meat & potatoes' is the best way I can describe it. Forgotten Realms or Golarion are my settings of choice (Greyhawk too, but I find it bland). The "weirder" the setting, the less interest I tend to have. Settings like Dark Sun, Planescape, and Spelljammer I actively avoid. Just too weird for me. Ravenloft occupies a strange middle with me...I find I enjoy the style and trappings of that kind of setting as something to watch (a sort of pseudo-late Victorian, early Industrial London gothic horror ambiance)...but not so much as something to play in.
