[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 4977876, member: 29398"] Anyone got anything to say - good or bad or in between - about the new 4e mega-module "Revenge of the Giants"? I ask because I'd like to know a bit about it before laying down C$37 + tax on it, and don't have time to give it a deep flip-through in ye olde FLGS. A few specific questions: Is it just a re-write of the 1e G-series, or something totally new? I'm doing some long-range planning for my campaign, and might require a good Giant-based module down the road; but my players have seen the G-series once too often. So, if I can get them to [U]expect[/U] G-series and then hit 'em with something different... :) Would it port well to other editions (1e in particular) or is it bogged down by 4e-isms? For comparison, I ported Keep on the Shadowfell to 1e and was fairly disappointed with how the first 75% or so played out - the set-piece battles kinda fell flat. The last 5 or 6 areas rocked hard, however, and made up for the rest. I'm hoping for a better signal-to-noise ratio with this one. Thoughts, anyone? Lan-"I like Giants"-efan [/QUOTE]
