What a disaster. I should report a bad post on you, Jurgen. I just read through a fair amount of drek on what sounded like unforgivably bad, bad, writing and design. I want that half-hour back!
At least I can take away a gratitude for EN World, WotC, Malhavoc, Expeditious retreat, and Green Ronin.
I feel real sympathy for the reviewer. I always thought that it would be cool to playtest. Now I see the hidden dangers.
EDIT: I just realized: this is how the Planes of Conflict boxed set decsribes the Gray Waste: pointless, endless, apathetic despair.
Then I realized while writing the above that I'm not going to be able to let this go. This is bad that will haunt be all day long.
