Generic adventure module in generic land. 2. Dual stats. (BTW, if as has been noted a few times the LA stats take up so little room, why do them at all?  Are the LA fans making up for the D20 fans not buying the product?)3. 'Old Guard' Product by a company with two strikes when using 'Old Guard' writers.Now you can change my mind on point one.  Maybe this is a huge setting module with a lot of unique and inventive uses of the d20 system but 2 isn't going to change and 3 isn't going to change.  Didn't like Canting Crew or Dark Druids.Now just so I'm clear, I don't hate Gary or Troll Lords.  Slayers Guide to Dragon good.  Heart of Glass by Troll Lords, good.  Combinations by Troll Lords with old guard? So far, bad.</blockquote>
