 Dungeon crawl, October 28, 2008

This one adventure I didn't find so interesting. The encounters have not much links between them, only different monsters to overcome. The main plot is not so impressive. This demonstrates the fight emphasis of the 4th Edition.

 Pyramid of Disappointment, October 22, 2008

Falling on the heels of the very well-written Thunderspire Labyrinth, I expected much, much more out of Pyramid of Shadows. As it stands, it's a more or less straight-up ol' fashioned dungeon crawl... the third in a line of dungeon crawls. Furthermore, it happens in an extradimensional space so it has no impact on the real physical world the characters live in and the main villain is a forgotten wizard who is a prisoner unable to escape his extradimensional prison. There is no sense of urgency here other than the PCs' only real motivation: get the hell out of the pyramid. Wow. Great opportunity for storytelling there. That having been said, there ARE a few neat features of the Pyramid of Shadows: Vyrellis's Head (a heroic artifact of limited usefulness), Kravakos himself (with his four different aspects) and the foulspawn cultists. All of these elements I intend on including in the adventure I'm writing to take the place of this amateurish junk that feels like it should have been published in the days of "Keep on the Borderlands."
