8 / 10JDCorleyTotally fucking crazy. And by that I mean it's really awesome.
7 / 10YoraIt may be Style over Substance, but the style this one is delivering is really quite remarkable. While not tecnically "epic level", this is one good example of what high level campaigns can be like, instead of just standard fare with bigger numbers.
4 / 10ImruphelGrossly overrated but superior to the other 3E hackfest, Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. Desperately needs (1) to not be tied to a plot that was only finally resolved three years after the module was released in a series of six novels and (2) a decent rest/trading area.

4 + 4Martin BaileyCity of the Spider Queen. All niggles aside - this is an imaginative book which won me over on a subject which I don't normally warm to. It is a logical and enjoyable high level romp through the underdark. What a shame it wasn't the boxed set that it could have been.... If Wizards
2 + 4Hugh WilliamsCity of the Spider Queen. A highly dangerous adventure with a good background plot and a great amount of detail marred by several assumptions about how it should be played

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
