Now that the cackles of glee are out of the way, I have to say it looks both really interesting and very tough. There are some interesting NPCs and some rather high-end opposition for what is likely to be an early-on adventure. Still, I'm loving it.

Oh great one! Lord of the Black Flame and Master of the Seventh Circle, illuminate us to the wonders of the tome so that we may behold its dark magnificence!

It would be interesting to hear a little about it and perhaps a few juicy details and dare I say, spoilers, would be fun. :)

Indeed. Personally, as I tend to view adventures primarily as things to be looted, how does it look in terms of new equipment, enemies, rules, psychic powers, rituals etc? In short, things that GM's or players might rip out and use in something else?

My question pertains to the structure: is it a railroaded affair, with entirely too much details, which average players would derail in less time than it took you to read the damn thing, such as Citadel of Skulls or most Deathwatch missions; a giant universe of nothing with just a starting situation, a prescribed ending and entirely too little description of what stands in the middle as for NPCs, places, and encounters, like Tattered Fates; or have they struck an adequate balance, a la Lure of the Expanse, which is the single example I can think of of what should be an adventure that they have ever published? (Maybe the Frozen Reaches too (though it lacks context). Unless the new Dark Heresy trilogy is any good.)

Pleeeaaase tell? Please please please *puppy eyes*. I don't want to buy it if it isn't any good, even though I know I will.

I bought it last night and I've only had time to skim it over, so I can't really say on whether or not the plot holds up nor on the amount of flexibility it offers. I will say that it has a number of impressive (in terms of detail and character rather than just power) NPCs from Imperials to prisoners to a Slaanesh cult to the final bad guys (hint - they just had a Codex released and there are now BC stats for many of the units found in there). You can also find stats for the Chimera (with autocannon in place of multilaser) and Hellhound. No new psyker powers that I noticed and not too many 'player options' like Talents and gear, but I didn't really expect them in a book like this.

Many more. And they will eat your player characters like it's a classic 1st edition AD&D adventure...

 Nice!  One of the main antagonist in my ongoing game are already Necrons and this will just add more to it :)

The Necrons are in the adventure, awesome!

Though one thing I'm dreading, are they the talking new necrons?
Because I refuse to achknowledge the terrible retcon the recent codex added to them, the necrons in my game are the old necrons.

So for me it's a pretty big deal, either it's useable or not useable depending on what motivation the necrons have.

I also think that it would be very interesting to hear about what version of the Necrons that are being used in the game because the new type seems alot more interesting than the old ones.

Given that everything written by FFG has to be vetted and approved by GW, and it was being written last year (when the new codex was being written and released), you can have a guess at which version have been used...

Basically, the better version

~Yea, Tho I Walk Through The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death, I Shall Fear No Evil~

Rogue Trader, Dark Heresy, Deathwatch, Black Crusade + Only War Playtester

Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Playtester

I do not speak in any official capacity for FFG, all my posts are my own opinion, speculation, etc.

I think the fact that you can still do the old Necrons with no problem, while still conforming to the current fluff, clearly demonstrates which is overall better.

It's new Necrons all the way - not that you can tell initially - but the latter stages and the Necron big-bad are very much of the new Necron mold. I prefer them this way, but I can understand the preference for older versions (I like the old RT version of Space Marines better than the current ones).

Ah, thank you for the reply.

I'm not going to go into the debate on new necrons versus old necrons. God knows how many times I've done that by now.
I'm just slightly saddened I can't use the adventure, might buy it later on and see what I can change around.

Thank you for the information, you have been invaluable.
