A 1,000+ page adventure path on Drive-Thru

[Libertad]

It's called Dark Obelisk: Berrincorte.

And no, it's not the full thing, but apparently the first part of a four-part adventure path.

Looking at the product blurb, it seems that the author is a novelist who's trying to emulate the feel but in a tabletop environment.

Additionally, looking at the table of contents, a good 450 pages are detailed to write-ups of city locations. Another 330 involve NPCs. The bestiary's another 110 pages or so.

NPCs who "feel real": The author has been a novelist and storyteller for more than 20 years.  The backstory and secret motivations of any of the 59 multi-page-detailed NPCs could be its own adventure or adventure path.

The author seems aware that a lot of people might be turned off on this, mentioning that "quantity doesn't always equal quality of course," albeit saying this in a "by the numbers" listing of factions, NPCs, tables, maps, and other stuff.

I...well, I admire the dedication to his craft.

20 Predetermined NPC deaths. K.

Only 23 maps though. Seems small for a 1000 page book.

You misread the table.

127 maps, 23 Fully-Mapped and Detailed Buildings & Places of Interest


This looks like way too much work for a dm...

That sounds alot closer to what it should be.

But yeah this is a nightmare that would require a few weeks of reading up on alone just to have a basic grasp of everything, ignoring forgetting any details after that.

It does seem like it should be more of a setting than an adventure.
