[QUOTE="Gaius, post: 267199, member: 3589"] Thanks for the replies, gang. I read the Serpent Amorpha and was sold. I think Nightfall put it best, but it bears repeating. The interaction between the gods and their followers is what sells me. In the Serpent Amorpha, you have the interaction between the church of Belsemath and Chardun in a party that is likely to be good-aligned. The cleric of Belsemath is helpful and, in my interpretation, actually a nice guy. At least, so long as you don't get in his way. As I read the adventure, I could envision him very politely asking the paladin of Corean not to preach to his flock, but perhaps asking the lawful good warrior to stop by the temple to discuss philosophies. Likewise, Chardun appears to the characters and offers his aid in the form of a timely warning. I liked it a lot. That said, I've got 16 hours of overtime in the bank that's going to float towards SSS's coffers. I think that this setting sounds like a winner, folks. Thanks again. A new question, however. There are two Creature Collections that offer up what I presume to be close to 400 new monsters. Does anyone feel that the setting is choked by an abundance of bizarre creatures, titanspawn and whatnot? From reading Lars's story hour, I can imagine that characters could go from 1st to 20th level and never face the same creature twice. What do you think about this? Do you view it more as a DM option to pick and choose, or do you really see Ghelspad as being this chock-full of monsters? Gaius [/QUOTE]
