[QUOTE="Evaniel, post: 9410650, member: 7037705"] I'm running our first session of Infinite Staircase today. I'm doing away with the Staircase conceit and adopting more of the "in medias res" conceit of old pulp fantasy. We'll use Xanathar's downtime mechanics between modules to purchase stuff, but otherwise we're focusing on the adventures themselves. I've skimmed through most of it, but I've mostly focused on Lost City. Lost City is one of my favorite old school modules, and I love what they've done with it here. They've carved out a lot of the "monster hotel" expansion suggestions in the original, streamlined some things, made it much more feasible for PCs to interact with the factions, and more. I would agree with the comparison someone upthread made to Goodman Games' version: it's not as "complete" and wouldn't do as a campaign on its own, but as a standalone adventure, it's awesome. I haven't read Beyond the Crystal Cave too deeply yet, but having run the original BitD, I'm excited to see what they've done with it based on what they did with Lost City. [/QUOTE]
