Message: <blockquote data-quote="KDLadage" data-source="post: 2008097" data-attributes="member: 88">updated on 22-NOV-02A good solid (and rather hefty) bunch of material for approximately $9 US. So, lets first examine what you get for your money in this ~22MB maximum quality PDF file (you can opt for the ~7MB standard quality download if you wish). <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> 116 pages of document. Even once you discount the cover pages, title and credits stuff, well over 100 pages of material to absorb.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> 19 pages of maps</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> 14 pages of player handouts</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> 5 pages of decent pre-gen player characters</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> 70 pages or so of adventure</li> </ul>Reading through the material, some of it is a little [*]lead the players by the nose[/i] and contrived as one of the other reviewers say -- but not so much that it cannot be played with. Given the group I DM for, I think I could hint it a bit without making them feel like I am dragging them through the adventure as a group of tourists.It is a nicely put together product with some outstanding maps, good artwork (some a little cartoon-like, but well done none-the-less). However, it desperately needed to be broken down into separate files and placed in a ZIP file. Trying to print this SOB is a real bear. It took me nearly an hour and a half to get it all out... my printer was begging for mercy when I was done.Still, once you have it, it is very usable and very fun to read. I recommend it. It rates less than a 5 from me due to the pain of getting it all printed, the fact that some of the adventure is a rail-road and (as some others have pointed out) it seems to liberally borrow material from a few sources -- sometimes a little too closely. Keep up the good work guys.</blockquote>
