I think the pantheon of gods was a masterpiece.<br /><br />My internal jury is still out on the megadungeon itself, mainly because one level is not really enough to judge the dungeon as a whole, especially with the teasing mentions of lower level accesses and things buried deeper. But it seems quite sound.Reverance Pavanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217657347160811310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-14656380204414477462011-06-29T14:32:30.688-04:002011-06-29T14:32:30.688-04:00100 rooms is kind of a ton.

Long story short, my in-laws live on the beach and every Sunday during the summer they have a bunch of their 50 and 60 something year old friends over to relax on the beach and have a potluck dinner at the end of the day. Anyway, I noticed many people over the course of the night perusing the module while sitting around and every single one of them came up to me and said, "man, this thing is cool!" None of these people have the first clue what an RPG is but they all found the writing very interesting and had nothing but nice things to say. <br /><br />The moral to this story is if a bunch of 50-60 somethings that have never gamed a day in their lives found it interesting, imagine what gamers will think.<br /><br />*The original piece for the cover is for sale (plus the interior pieces)for anybody that might be interested. Thanks again, James and Pat!Gladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319284428938855153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-4081473956508219902011-06-28T14:17:28.941-04:002011-06-28T14:17:28.941-04:00Got my copy last week.
