Can be good or bad. Depends on the way it's presented I guess. We'll see.

 

[Psion]

Hmmm.

Undermountain is an old favorite. But I don't see how they could do it justice in the current market. It'd be more like "highlights of Undermountain."

Looking at the price, I'm sure this product will not be the Undermountain product I wanted.

(Ok, so maybe a 1,000-page product is unrealistic, but it's what I want. )

Released on my birthday! Hurray!

The real question is if this is going to be made world-neutral or left in the Forgotten Realms.

It's not listed as a FR adventure supplement ...

 

[Sammael]

With three out of four authors being renowned FR authors, I'm pretty sure it will be a FR product. Unless they decide to pull a "Races of Eberron" stunt.

And they better include poster maps to make the module worthwhile. Undermountain is too complex for itty-bitty one-page maps.

So it's the "Year of Adventures" I see. Crap.

No offense to those that like adventures, but there seems to be an overload from now until June 07' (and who knows if it even stops there?). I like adventures as much as the next guy, but unless they're at least half non-adventure material (like I hope this Undermountain one is) then they become useless.

I don't like purchasing $30 adventure books. Once you've used them up, you rarely open them back up, if ever. I haven't touched my City of the Spider Queen since it ended, and only plan to when I need to look up stats for the new monsters in there like the Spiderstone Golem. At least with the other books, I am always opening those back up to look through stuff.

$10 adventures like Twilight Tomb I can definitely be satisfied with. At least I can skip one night of fast food for that one.

Here's to hoping at 2008 the adventure books will die back down to their original numbers.

Not much to be said until more details become availiable. Will I get it? Depends on money and if I have an itch to scratch.
