Thank you so much for the kind review! We promise to keep your critiques in mind for our upcoming Volume 3 which will, as you suggested, go from levels 10 through 20 and conclude with an epic multi-stage knock down, drag out brawl against Vecna himself in the streets of Waterdeep. We are extremely happy that you were able to review both Volumes 1 and 2 and look forward to sending you Volume 3 upon its completion

Volume 3 sounds very promising.
Hope it's got some good art too though 👀

I freaking love this module. The backstory alone had me sold, and the story telling potential this timeline has is glorious. I love the idea of two kinds of campaigns for this one, one being the struggle to overcome Vecna and save the realms with a band of unlikely heroes and famous NPCs (think the series final of Gravity Falls), or a struggle to travel through time and set right what once went wrong (think Samurai Jack by way of Avengers: Endgame)

This sounds awesome! I've always wanted a Vecna campaign in 5e and this looks like the perfect vessel.

I just went and picked this up today I love it so far and look forward to running it

Solution for how to run if your group has “won” previous campaigns with spoilers for Rime of the Frostmaiden:
As someone who’s group has completed most 5e campaigns my solution for running this is going to involve Vecna attacking Ythryn & using his own Staff of Power on the Obelisk to turn back time (only destroying the 1 obelisk so that there are others for the players to try & access).
This way Vecna knows how to influence key moments resulting in the parties of prior campaigns failing that leads into this adventure!

Ahh that's so cool!

Thanks for the thorough review! Appreciate you!

[@lisaboudreau5390]

Any idea on release date for volume 3? Thanks for the good review!

[@TheScottMcclintock]

Hey Lisa! We're getting close but its hard to predict how much longer until it's done. It's all written and edited and currently going through layout and commissioning art. We'll definitely be sending it to Rogue Watson once it's done so keep watching the channel :)

[@TheScottMcclintock]

Hey Lisa! Sorry for the delay but volume 3 is officially out! We're hoping to get Eric to review it soon so hope you'll stay tuned :)
