To Any It May Concern:
I was just clicking around tonight and saw the page, "Illuminating Night Below," which ended me up at this discussion group. I just thought I'd post my piece about it.
After nearly eight years of playing this campaign (1995-2002), we are finally in the battle for the Great Shaboath. My players have done 85% of all the encounters in the three books, but got a little fed up in Book III and felt it imperative for party coherency and morale to go ahead with the assault on Shaboath without investigating the Ixzan pyramid or Sunkenhome. Their tightly-knit group of four humans (specialty priest, specialist wizard, ranger, fighter) has proven that smaller numbers and extensive strategy works better for this hard-hitting epic adventure. We are thorough players, and as a DM I have done everything possible to play this campaign exactly as detailed in the set (even if it meant near-party destruction many times). After seeing a lot of websites about Night Below, I realize now that many people give up on it long before Book III. Therefore, if anyone has any questions about the campaign feel free to email me.
By the way, if you thought your work as a DM was tough during the Derro Servitors of Book II or the City of the Glass Pool, then just wait until the Great Shaboath--I have already put over 20 hours of preparation into the city's responses to PC attacks...Gotta love this adventure!
Sincerely,
Adam
