[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9410090, member: 59816"] I agree that this seems to be (I haven't run anything yet) the perfect sort of anthology. One of my problems with Candlekeep was that, with them cramming 13 adventures in, they cut them all "for space" and made most of them fairly generic. (I like the actual Candlekeep part, though!) I've been suggesting a "middle ground" ever since, as far as length-of and quantity-of adventures. This book has that. I also found myself disappointed with Yawning Portal's lack of doing any updates or improvements to the old adventures. Even in cases where the updates were available to them (for example, Chris Perkins had done a huge update to the Against the Giants Adventures for 4e, that included very nice Schley Maps, more named NPCs, and a whole new Stone Giant part, but they just colorized the original maps and dropped it into 5e, largely unchanged. This is not like that. You get the "feel" for the classic adventures without it being a simple retread. They're a good "medium" length. I don't think they have some of the "trouble-spots" of recent adventures (though further review will be required to be sure.) It's a good book. [/QUOTE]
