[QUOTE="bert1000, post: 4592556, member: 29013"] H1 - needs a bunch of work to make it come alive, but there have been a lot of threads here and on wotc boards to help. If you run it, I suggest cutting 1/2 the encounters in the Keep and it won't drag as much. H2 - this one is solid IMO. You get a neat skullport-like base town with interesting characters, an open ended dungeon with 3-4 larger points of interest fleshed out, and the 4e re-introduction of a few iconic monsters. Can easily be a good mini-sand box area. H3 - Pretty good for what it is, but not my style. It's one of those "you are traped in the big dungeon" types. The individual encounters seem pretty good, but not how I like to spend a whole 3 levels. Like others have said, Scales of War is very uneven in terms of material. I do agree that it is getting better, and their have been a few episodes I thought were really good. Shadow Rift of Umbraforge is well done, as well as the last 2. So my vote is a mix and match too. Use a slim down H1 or some Dungeon material as the start, go to H2, and then back to Dungeon material (even some tweaked Scales of War episodes). [/QUOTE]
