[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 9506664, member: 3586"] Putting a manticore (flying, high damage) against first level characters is such a horrible DMing trick from Wizards. But - honestly - most of their recent low-level writing has been "let's get it over as fast as possible." While I rather enjoy good first level play. You just need situations that are interesting and not overwhelming. Stormwreck Isle doesn't interest me at all, though I know some people like it a lot. When I used Icespire Peak, it was integrated into Lost Mine, as a result extending the "quests" section of the original adventure - and it was excellent for that. They're of a piece with the small quests of Lost Mine. I wonder if that was its intent, and little consideration was given to how it worked as a stand-alone product. There's lots of quality stuff in Icespire Peak, and I do love job boards. I just think it's a little disconnected to work as a stand-alone product. [/QUOTE]
