[QUOTE="DM_Jeff, post: 1724554, member: 3687"] [b]Wld[/b] I got my author copy the night before leaving for GenCon and you really have no idea of the size until you hold it, ridiculous! Would anyone go through it from start to finish? I can imagine a group playing only occassionally, beer-n-pretzels D&D that doesn't need to keep track of a half-dozen plot lines and 2 score NPC's to play this all the way through. For myself, I see pulling rooms from various levels because of the set-ups and the very useful template- and classed-stacked monsters in there to shake up encounters. And each "level" could be it's own dungeon with an entrance to the surface plopped in and the BBEG holding the thing or person the party must rescue. Folks balking at the price, that I can understand. Providing I didn't write for it, I would have taken a VERY long look at it, and yeah, put up some old stuff on Ebay to help me offset the cost, it's the breakdown: The hardcover is like getting 18 modules for $5 each. Personally I would have liked to have seen more art. I would have relished some artist's interpretations of rooms and creature situations, but I can't even imagine what the page count would have been like then! -DM Jeff [/QUOTE]
