[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5511939, member: 463"] A lot of adventures seem great, but are flawed in play. This can be an obvious flaw like [I]Lost City of Gaxmoor's [/I]CR 20 BBEG in an adventure for 10th level PCs. It can be more subtle - [I]B5 Horror on the Hill [/I]is beautifully designed but an absolute meatgrinder, too much for my group even using 3rd level 3e PCs -it was supposedly written for 1st level BECMI PCs! [I]B7 Rahasia [/I]was overall very good but I had to greatly simplify the end section, and a bone golem was a bit much for 1st-2nd level PCs. I enjoyed the C&C DCC[I] Palace of Shadows [/I]a lot; it suffered a bit from being sketchy in places, the final battle has no room description. Typical DCC lack of editing I guess, but still very good. [I]Lost City of Barakus [/I]is extremely robust, 30+ sessions of play, let down by an underwhelming finale battle - blame 3e's overpowered spellcasters, the lich got Scorching Blasted to death in one attack! [I]Vault of Larin Karr[/I] is an excellent sandbox, after reducing the map scale to 1/5 the art is the only thing I dislike about it. All the 4e modules I've seen have been pretty atrocious. I like [I]Dungeon Delve [/I]but I'm not sure it counts. [/QUOTE]
