Which is problematic in D&D as the party just needs to get ONE of the five ancient dragon masks then turtle somewhere to win. Which also means the adventure likely has to be unfair and railroady to keep the masks from the PCs. And how has Tiamat been imprisoned for a millennia when she was causing sh*t in Red Hand of Doom and Scales of War? Joining forces with the Zhentarim is a neat touch. The Red Wizards are seeing a lot of action lately, being involved with events since Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle. I wonder if WotC is retconning that and the most recent two adventures to tie into Tyranny more than the Sundering. Every city on the Sword Coast? Just like the 4th Editon AP... Tiamat is a little overdone. And I'm still unsold on forcing her into the Forgotten Realms, a setting already rife with gods. It really does sound like this is replacing the Sundering as the loose theme for the series of adventures/ Encounter seasons. Just like how the last season or two has come with rules. I wonder if working with the Neverwinter MMO is such a good idea? First off, the game is terrible. Second, it didn't work so well with the Neverwinter campaign book. Going multimedia with the Book of Vile Darkness TV Movie didn't work out so hot either.  Translation: no one gets to see all the story.They've published nothing but material for the Forgotten Realms for a year. At this point, they're not producing D&D products, but FR products. I'd hope they start branching out. What a "key" setting is, is very vague.And by "see more Ravenloft stuff very soon" I imagine the token adventure of e-magazine content in October. Well... I guess that explains why they name dropped so many heroic groups. I imagine you pick between the Harpers, the Company of the Gauntlet, the Emerald Enclave, the Lords Alliance and the Zhentarim. Which might be the reason the Zhents are involved, to provide a less heroic option for players who want to be machiavellian.</blockquote>
