[QUOTE="KoolMoDaddy-O, post: 9274803, member: 7040379"] "The Sunken Shadow" is a weird callout when listing great adventures over the past 50 years. It's not particularly memorable or even a good adventure; it's symptomatic of its time in that it makes many narrative assumptions about how the PCs will act and it can quickly go off the rails if they don't. I read it and discarded it as a possibility for that reason, although I did use the sunken wreck as a separate location. So why was "Sunken Shadow" in the developers' heads at all? Which leads me to a second question: is Eve of Ruin going to revisit Greyhawk or is it going to revisit [I]Saltmarsh?[/I] Because "Sunken Shadow" isn't worth reprinting in a greatest-hits anthology but it could be inspiration for a chapter situated around Saltmarsh about a submerged haunted ship with a piece of the Rod of Seven Parts in its cargo hold. Man, I totes forgot that existed and yes it would be perfect for Infinite Staircase. As I recall it took up an entire issue of Dungeon so it may be too long but then again Dead in Thay was also crazy long and yet it's in Yawning Portal. [/QUOTE]
