I'm rather intrigued as to what this might be as I have no clue. Aside from general editing, most of the stuff I saw in the genesis phase was included in the actual book. Maybe there won't be a web enhancement ...

I'm hoping for a web enhancement for LEoF too.

However, I will be disappointed if it turns out to be just another adventure like the last few web enhancements for D&D products have been.

How is it? I took one look at the author and decided not to even download.

*sigh*

Bland. Not really much information contained in it, although I suppose it's useful in extrapolating upon. The idea behind it would have been a fantastic Indiana Jones-esque adventure, but it's much much to short and abbreviated as written. It also seems a bit contrived in terms of playability.

Information-wise, for the Imaskar portions, it basically seems to use the Imaskari as a prop in an otherwise typical find and kill the bad-guy module. Oh well. I can use it as a foundation for a larger adventure if I feel in the mood.

Sounds more like it was a generic adventure written with the FR stuff then added in later.

Well the thing with the WE adventures seems to be that they are directed towards a generic audiance. Thus the "local lore" is kept back where it should be more or less be poured into the writing. It feels like a cheap version of Haunted Halls of Eveningstar or something, even got a lower level which to expand upon.

It is.

I deleted it from my HD immediately after I finished reading through it.
