Monsters and Magic Items are also a bit different at this point. For me, the Companion addition defines and distinguishes the edition.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">At Master level (26+) focuses on attaining Immortality. After very solid BEC boxes, M is a weaker product, also not supported with interesting adventures.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Immortal rules are poorly written and unusable, even in their second incarnation.</li> </ul>KNOWN WORLD setting:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Kitchen Sink" done well. Highlights (in my opinion): Grand Duchy of Karameikos, Principalities of Glantri, Northern Reaches, Golden Khan of Ethengar, Shadow Elves, Hollow World</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Setting is criss-crossed by several interesting metaplots (the Radiance, the legacy of Nithia, Thanatos ' and Atzanteotl's machinations etc).</li> </ul>ADVENTURES:- Great adventures! Compatible with 5e. Highlights:B: Keep on the Borderlands, Palace of the Silver Princess, Lost City, Horror on the Hill, Rahasia, Night's Dark Terror, The Eye of TraldarE: Isle of Dread, Castle Amber, Master of Desert Nomads, Temple of Death, War Rafts of Kron, Red Arrow Black ShieldC: Test of the Warlords, Death's Ride, Sabre RiverART: Larry Elmore's art was perfect to change the feeling of the game from gritty sword-and-sorcery pulp to High FantasyAll in all, BECMI is a fantastic iteration of the game, and even today is more playable then AD&D</blockquote>
