This module was the first big step beyond the changes to Magic, The Wizards' Cabal and the races. It was a very important module. I only wish it had sold better.
Thanks for providing this bit of background on the module, Dustin! Your strategy of working towards a product line that did not depend on the goodwill of WotC makes sense, though it was also a risky one I guess, since hard core fans were screaming for adventures that were tied more closely to the core elements of Dave's original campaign.
In the end it was a good module. I've heard that making money off modules is really difficult though, so perhaps the low(?) saltes rates of this module can be explained by that?
