[QUOTE="Tharen the Damned, post: 1453033, member: 17091"] I think I have to play the Advocatus Diaboli. Bias: What I know o tWbD ist from the various Tidbits Pinto posted in this Threat. For a projekt this large, the previews gleaned can only be a very, very small bit of the whole content. This is just my first impression, but as you know. First impressions tend to stick. 1) The map(s). While certainly large and detailed, they don´t strike me as, for the lack of a better word, cool. They remind me of the various Undermountain maps from the 1st. or 2nd Edition boxed Sets. Ok, I get nostalgic feelings but when I look at maps from Ed Bourelle for example this map lacks appeal. 2) The posted encounter. On the first view it is nice and detailed. Good Idea to include the complete Stats and not only HP and the reference page in the MM. But: Well, these are Insects without any intelligence! So how can they employ tactics? They should attack randomly. As a player I would protest, if they ignore the front row fighter and head straight to my wizard who hides behind the cleric. Next it strikes me as strange, that so many different insect species just wait for the PCs instead of a) just eating the other species or b) wander to a room with better feeding opportunities. I don´t like this encounter very much. Reminder: This was just my first impression! What do you say? [/QUOTE]
