[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 2372962, member: 22103"] I'm running it now (currently in Zenith Trajectory) and the whole group is really enjoying it. I'll definitely be getting a copy of this even though I have all the issues. From what I've heard, the added stuff in the hardcover will be worth it (although I'll doubt I'll preorder it). First off, the city itself is flat-out [I]cool[/I]. Heck, it's a volcano! The cartography throughout the whole AP is outstanding as well. If you are looking for a dynamic campaign with a variety of baddies, that goes to a variety of places (including other planes), really cool dungeons, a great city to adventure in, and a cataclysmic plot, the AP is for you. Some of the highlights in my campaign so far (spoilers!): The battle at the end of Life's Bazaar. The PC's made their way to the Kazmojen the slaver's lair. But before the battle begins, a beholder appears (who plays a significant role in the AP). One of the PC's actually negotiated with him and made some cash in the process. Of course, after that, a grand melee breaks out between the party, Kazmojen, his howler pet, and some other minions. Tongue-Eater: He's one of my favorite BBEG's in a LONG time. He's basically a half-orc werebaboon barbarian. Of course, I tweaked him a bit and added the feral template. :] We had our first death in the campaign at the hands of Tongue. Zenith Trajectory kuo-toa temple: When they arrive at the temple, a kuo-toan ferryman approaches in a canoe. Without hesitation, the PC's attack him. He jumps in the water and disappears. The PC's rope in his boat and start paddling across. A few moments later, the boat is hit from below and 3 of the PC's fall in (2 of which had plate armor on). A frantic underwater begins with the kuo-toan monk ferryman who promptly begins to grapple the wizard. Some great tactics by the PC's save the day. Central shrine: Upon entering the shrine (and seeing the 50'+ statue of Blipooploploplpopo - however it's spelled), the PC's come upon some kuo-toa chanting. A battle begins and the kuo-toa start throwing lightning bolts. The PC's dispatch the whips but a minute or two later, the statue begins to glow and an advanced erinyes is summoned. An aerial battle ensues and once again, some great tactics (included the flying & grappling monk) pull the party through. Of course they aren't out of the woods yet... At the end of the battle, all of the players said it was the coolest battle of the campaign yet. [/QUOTE]
