Message: <blockquote data-quote="rooneg" data-source="post: 6830705" data-attributes="member: 6779504">FWIW, I played the Tier 2 version of Alan's module (Window to the Past) at TotalCon this weekend and it was a blast at that level as well. At one point my 5th level Vengeance Paladin had a maximum hit points of 5 after 1 round of combat. That was scary! I hadn't thought of the Alien/Nostromo parallel, but that's totally true now that I think about it.The rewards are good. There were some nice magic items, but nothing over the top, plus some interesting story based rewards I'm looking forward to referencing (both in the "if I ever come back to Mullmaster" sense and in the "well, that's now a permanent part of my character" going forward sense). Honestly though, you're not playing these modules for the rewards, you're playing them because they're cool adventures being run by excellent DMs who really know what they're doing.Anyway, highly recommended in the future if you have the opportunity. I'm not sure I agree that these are things that should exist in organized play, but given that they do you should totally seek them out, not because there are unbalanced rewards you can't get elsewhere or something like that, but because they're super fun to play in. Also, Alan's module has some elements that only work because he's running it over and over. It fundamentally wouldn't be the same if it was just being run by random people week to week.</blockquote>
