I had a general idea of both those adventures, but not all the details.My scepticism was particularly about WotC being unlikely to give us a heroquesting adventure anytime soon - a heroquest is when you travel back into mythological time and, by playing out the role of one of the mythological actors (like a god or primordial) you change things in the natural world.What I really like about the way the myths and the heroquesting is presented in The Plane Above is that it creates lots of lattitude for player choice about which way they want to take things, and which gods they will support or oppose. My hesitation about the E-series as you've described it is that it seems a bit railroady, as in a bit too reliant on the players being motivated in just the right way to make things come out as the module writer intended. Still, it's good stuff, especially (in my view) compared to Planescape.I like the idea of that Epic Destiny you mentioned, Mustrum, because that really does give the players the choice - especially, by not choosing that destiny they seem to be implicitly condoning what could otherwise be undone (I don't know Eberron but am assuming the Mourning is a bad thing).Exactly what I meant. And heroquesting - travelling into deep myth - takes that even one step further - you change the myth by becoming the myth.</blockquote>
