It's a game I run on Saturday nights every other week. I guess we've done about 5-6 sessions. Since I'm running it in the order intended, and I did enjoy reading the first part, so so far I am having a VERY good time with it. I keep telling my wife during long drives that Mysteries of the Moosea has SOME magic about it. I really ranted there in the beginning, but so far it's turned out to be a very good campaign. Then again, I have some darn good players too, so that helps.The quests ARE mini, but I actually prefer that. It means I don't have to rewrite a bunch of stuff to make the hook easy to customize to the PC's tastes. The mini-ness also means I can finish one quest per session, which is good with an irregular schedule like ours. Melvaunt is a good city with lots of flavor. I worked the NPCs provided into roleplaying and they're lots of fun. Something I forgot, the Forgotten Realms module 'Sons of Gruumsh' is set in Melvaunt and has a load of great source material on the noble families there. In looking over the Moonsea area again, I think I know some fixes. The ancient elf tower of Myth Drannor will be restocked completely. Instead of boring old MM outsiders each guarding a different empty, pointless room, I will restock it with more confounding monsters from Tome of Horrors II and III. I'll throw in a few traps instead from DMG II, and rework the place as a magical location, also ala DMG II. By then I'm sure I'll have a good reason for the PCs to go there and check it out.So, to sum up, I'm enjoying MotM a lot more than I suspected. it gives me lots of room to stretch my legs and make stuff up, but gives me enough solids to fill int he blanks and so I don't have to write everything. They just finished Vorbyx's Watchtower in the land of Thar. The feedback from the players is all positive.-DM Jeff</blockquote>
