[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6113713, member: 4937"] Well, you are looking at the guy who has never faced a published module or RPG ruleset that he didn't want to modify. But, yes, I've already agreed that I find parts of the module less than well concieved and am sympathetic to the desire to want to skip them. I wouldn't run it as written, but then again I haven't run a module as written since I was like 13 (X1, Isle of Dread). I plead ignorance, but in my defence, it's a fairly popular module and in broad outline its not bad save that I don't think it foreshadows the 'end boss' strongly enough nor does it do anything to make the otherwise really interesting Lovecraftian end boss relevant. In retrospect I see that it, like so many early modules, actually assumes that the skillful DM will want to and be able to usefully elaborate on the module. At 13, though I saw the problem in play, I lacked the skill to foresee it before it happened or to rectify it once it did. [/QUOTE]
