[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9590949, member: 11760"] At long, long, [I]long[/I] last, I finally ran Salted Legacy, the first full adventure from Radiant Citadel last night. (I'd previously started the campaign with a first level adventure based on Romeo & Juliet set in the citadel itself.) Reviewers online have complained that the antagonist's scheme in Salted Legacy doesn't make any sense, but I found that to be no problem: [LIST=1] [*]Lots of real life schemes are stupid and don't make sense, which is one of the reasons they fail so often [*]The character is scared of going bankrupt, is introverted and doesn't think he can run a business that currently relies on his charismatic salesman brother once he leaves, and wants to acquire a business where the product (the food) basically sells itself [/LIST] Lord knows there are a lot of things to complain about in WotC adventures (and in everyone's published adventures, as a general rule), but I found this to be fine.
