Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 4751371" data-attributes="member: 907">Mind Lords is fairly meh. It's a description of a city in the far north of the setting that's located on the shores of a "sea" (more like a salt-water lake, really). This city is unique because they still have a Green Age society with lots of psionics... and fairly scary because of it. As in, dissidents get psionically "re-educated." It also has some stuff that I recall was fairly unpopular with the fanbase when it came out, like surfing druids.The Ivory Triangle is about the cities of Nibenay and Gulg as well as the nearby area. Very good if you're planning to run a campaign there.Dragon's Crown is made out of liquid awesome, although somewhat marred by two things:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">The plot of the adventure is based around something that handicaps psionicist characters and thri-kreen (though at a relatively early point you get access to something that ameliorates the effects).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Tons and tons of epic-level NPCs as opponents (though due to the way 2e psionics work, high-level psionicists mainly gain breadth of power, not depth), so it's not as bad as if all those NPCs had been wizards or something).</li> </ol>Other than that, it is the best large-scale adventure I've seen. It really takes advantage of the setting by having the characters travel from one end to the other and then back again: both Urik, the Sea of Silt, and crossing the Ringing Mountains, encountering undead remnants of the Cleansing Wars, giant tribes, sorcerer-kings, man-eating halfings, and thri-kreen. As you can understand, it is split into multiple shorter chapters, unlike many other mega-adventures that focus on a single place (e.g. Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil). There's also a section on sidetreks with things to spice up the part about traveling across the desert.Black Spine is also fairly large-scale, though I've only skimmed it. I know it's about an invasion of Athas by the Githyanki (who are, of course, ancestors of the Gith). That's about the extent of my knowledge about it.</blockquote>
