Naturally then, when I first heard about WitchFire Trilogy, I was almost certain I would give it a pass. Then I heard how good it is and thought, oh well, maybe I can fit it to my own (Birthright) campaign. One of the designers from Privateer convinced me that it is not too hard to eliminate all the quirks of the setting and that adventure stands strong on its own merit. After reading it I must say that he was correct and that adventure can be run in any setting and (more importantly) at almost any power level on the strength of story and NPC's alone and will still compare favourably to 95% of anything published for d20 system. However, after reading it I have grown to like the setting (gunpowder and all)  so much that I believe that I will make a mini campaign in Corvis once entire trilogy is out. There are very few adventures that can carry the weight of an entire setting, "Enemy Within" and "Ravenloft" were only ones I can now think of now and the "Longest Night" has a makings of being the begining of another.  Besides superb story which mixes oportunities for roleplaying with some excelent dungeoneering situations, remarkable and novel setting, and hands down best d20 artwork so far what makes this adventure stand ut is superb writing style that makes the adventure a pleasure to read for the DM and automaticaly sets him (or her) in the mood which he can convey to the players. 0nly d20 adventure that can compare with "Longest Night" in writing quality is WotC's own "Standing Stone".Only objection I have to this adventure is that it is too short. At 64 pages for the price of 42 it is a good deal but I would not mind paying much more for something the size of "Shadow over Boegenhafen" or even "Axe of Dwarvish Lords".Mega adventures can become dreary when written poorly but folks at Privateer are the people I would trust to produce something truly epic and even thogh WichFire trilogy is going to be substantial when it is complete it it is so good that like a good novel you finish it craving for more.</blockquote>
