[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5453647, member: 807"] In short, this provides you with a ruined city (and an outpost near it). It gives the history of the city, highlighted areas of the city, and a handful of encounters that could happen within it. If you want a (sort of) ruined city with history related to teifling stuff and you want a campaign theme to include explorer/archeology type stuff (which could include going as guards for archeologists, etc) - sure, it makes a [B]great[/B] product. Conversely, if you don't plan on using the city, it [I]could[/I] be mined for ideas. But keep in mind that the ideas within it are very specific in tone and flavor. So it's hard to mine directly out of it and would take some fiddling. Personally, I liked it. I would just never be able to use it because I had inadvertently done something a little similar in theme very recently and so it wouldn't provide anything new for my group. Edit: given everything else you've said as a potential, this is probably best "low" on the list since it would provide a 'niche' for a single campaign (or campaign arc) whereas the other items you mention could have more general use for more than just one campaign.
