Let's give them three pages for table of contents, splash, a "Written By" page, and an "About" or "Using this Book" 2-page spread. 5 more pages.That gives us 213 pages for the actual adventures.With 13 adventures that's 16.4 pages per adventure. Let's go ahead and round it out and say that 5 of the adventures have 17 pages and the other 8 have 16.That's PLENTY of space for adventures. Especially if you give over 1/2 a page to 1 page for Encounter Tables and a full page for a 'Region Map' to let players wander around during the adventure and stumble upon the scripted story events as they go. Give over another full page to the description of the area/plane/whatever and you've got 13.5-14.5 pages of adventure text and that's still plenty of space to tell a great story to get you from one level to the next.Could be!Or it could be just another location in the overall Planescape setting, sort of like how Candlekeep doesn't replace Waterdeep just because they put out an adventure anthology centered on it.</blockquote>
