[QUOTE="JohnnyZemo, post: 7680063, member: 6681515"] On the topic of how the hardcovers are organized, I've been running Hoard of the Dragon Queen, and I copy all the stat blocks to 3x5 cards before each session. This significantly reduces page-flipping. Wizards should let Gale Force 9 put out a pack of monster cards so that I don't have to do this work myself. I would buy them. On the topic of Out of the Abyss, the maps in the new book are MUCH, MUCH easier to read than the maps in HotDQ, so that is a big plus. The maps in HotDQ are muddy and too dark, as though whoever designed the book didn't know what paper stock the book was going to be printed on. Plus some of the maps are missing labels. But I digress.... One other thought about Out of the Abyss: it's very strange to me that WotC keeps telling everyone that Alice in Wonderland helped inspire this book. I've read Alice twice, and I don't see the connection. I think the advance publicity may give people the wrong idea about this book. If I read this book without being told in advance that Alice was an influence, I would never have guessed it. [/QUOTE]
