The villians are not as engaging and the books are even for me somewhat intimidating I play with an experienced group. Rime has 6-10 towns with somewhat silly subplots but yet it’s not fleshed out like Ravenloft RavenloftStarting detailed town and like say candy land you can easily prep for the unexpected Rime-hey I’d like to go town b  while visiting a. Me as dm crap there wasn’t much so let me make up stuff etcMe personally and I would argue for many dms less is moreInstead of 6 plus towns in time give me 2 that are ready to goPhandelver-you do all these side quests tied to rescuing a something and finding a cave. I’m at the part where the party finds the cave. Guess what the description of outside the cave stinks compared to much earlier stuff. The section stinks to be honest. The bad person is located within this section with allies and a setttung that is reminiscent of 1st edition 1st edition Room 1 koboldsRoom 2 undead Room 3 a griphonRoom 4 a red dragonThis happens in this part of the adventure and I had to laugh on how did the main bad thing navigate through all this with their alliesBg3 the video game does a better job in their dungeons than wotc does and that’s a shame. The dungeons make senseThe villians getting to the dungeon makes sense and often leave a trailThe outside encounters are also betterTake out the voice actors etc it’s just better as a blueprint for a good adventure</blockquote>
