[QUOTE="touc, post: 7933455, member: 19270"] [B]Curse of Strahd. [/B]As written, Strahd is just a dick who pops in from time to time to attack the group, but not enough to kill them because that would just be bad writing. As an eternal being obsessed with a curse, he has nothing better to do than harass low level adventurers. He needed a total rewrite in line with his storybook and lore character. Once done: totally one of the best adventures I've ever run. [B]Out of the Abyss: [/B]The 2nd half. There's a fun premise (go get the ingredients to an awesome spell) once you get past the piss-poor premise (we got all these epic heroes here but since you were in the Underdark for a few weeks, we need you to save the world, and here's some bare-bones stuff to do in our dwarf city), but there's nothing even remotely close to justifying the XP gains recommended for the finale. [I]OH MAN, time's ticking and we need to stop the Demon Lords, but let's wander random tunnels in hopes of level appropriate random encounters...[B]OR[/B] man, I just went from level 10 to level 13 in one week. I rock![/I] [/QUOTE]
