[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 2566948, member: 32740"] Gave it 5 though it's only from a dim, ancient memory of playing it once, and having run it once. It felt seriously over-long, even for 1E days and that's a bad thing. We went through the GDQ series mulitple times in multiple campaigns and never really tired of it. But TOEE got used only twice and the reception both times wasn't particularly memorable. There just isn't a lot of THERE there. It drags on without really advancing anything - like unfolding a large and complicated plot, building up anticpation of the big showdown with the individual or small group behind all the Evil, or the like. It may have somewhat better window dressing than usual (we actually DID collect a lot of expensive china and silverware for our PC's dining tables IIRC) but it's really nothing more than a dungeon crawl. It IS a good concept I think, but needed some editing (read: wholesale removal) of some of the authors original material to make it a more compact, dynamic, module that could be more than just an over-extended set piece. Don't even get me started on what I think of the Return to TOEE... [/QUOTE]
