That's insanity. I don't see them selling enough copies of it at that price to make it worthwhile.

"IT MUST BE MINE!" - factor is undeniably high for me

Thats something like nethack in book form, or something.

It is almost terrible to say this but it draws me like a ring of power! Too much money, not sure if I could even find a use for it, but I want...

100 maps
one million
the biggest...​

Key words to attract a guy.

It is costly, but you get more than four regular adventures there...

While the flashy words grab my primitive monkey brain and make me want to fight the alpha male for this, the modern, human part of my brain says "but is it any good?"

I could probably write a computer program, using my lame understadning of BASIC and PASCAL, that would churn out 1,000,000 words, 100 maps, and stamp a $99 price tag on the cover. I guess they're selling to the retailers when they tout the fact that it's going to be the most expensive d20 book ever, but how is that supposed to impress the end user? prestige? I'll wait for the reviews, but with a title like "world's largest dungeon" I'm not expecting much.

I don't usually make harsh comments like this, but wow.

I just don't see a need for this book. I rarely use actual dungeons as it is. Why would a dungeon this big even exist?

Hm... Amazon usually sells books for 30% off. If this is true, then that's 69.99. Then the Share the Love list kicks in, and another 7 bucks knocked off...

Yep, I'm game.
