It's a "Fantastic Location"It contains a short adventure or rather adventure part - a single location or set of locations, where you not only get the stats and background info you need, but also a full-scale maps for the lcoations. You can also use the maps for something else, of course.For RPG'ers, this is good for a one-short or tie-in dungeon for your own adventure. Actually, I think that's neat: You have your city and other locales all thought out and so on, but the party wants to go on a dungeon crawl. BAM! here's your dungeon. You can use it as the dungeon where the characters find that artifact/relic/family hairloom they are supposed to recover, or the villain they are supposed to hunt down. You can even put the maps together to get an even bigger complex.For DDM'ers, you get 4 full-colour maps, one of which is ready for epic (former extreme/huge) play. For those who don't know it: The set after Underdark, called Wardrums, will be the next starter set, and won't come with a battlegrid and tiles, but with a couple (I think it's 2 double-sided maps, too) of full-scale maps. After that, there will be no more new official tiles - retailer kits will come with epic stat cards for older figures (Drizzt or Mordenkainen, anyone?), there will be new maps in Dragon and in Fantastic Locations.I'm satisfied with Fane of the Drow, but then again, I play both D&D and DDM. If you want it for the RPG value, you must decide whether you want a fully detailed and mapped tie-in location you can built into an adventure. Remember that you can use those maps to put miniatures on, not just to show players where what is.(edit) Hey, Merric: Still don't have it? While it would be quite an effort (and not really approved by Wizards) to scan the whole maps, I think they don't mind if someone would scan the small-scale maps on the inside of the cover. Want it?</blockquote>
