Love it or hate it, it exists. I'm wondering how well this particular adventure module has been received? Did any of you have some good points about it? Were you hoping that Monte Cook would have done a good job?

Here's the link to the offering on Drivethru.

A mega-module from the 3rd edition. A very rich adventure that I converted for the 5th edition. The main adversary is Tharyzdun, who disguises himself as the Elder Elemental Eye. No Iuz, Lolth and Zuggtmoy.
Many dangerous adversaries: dragons, half-dragons, half-elementals, aboleth, mind flayer, beholder, IMIX. Many new magic items, Domain of Madness, the Doomdreamer subclass. Of course, an adventure for those who love dungeons. And Monte Cook is a Greyhawk expert.

You probably shouldn't play T1-4 before this adventure. There are too many NPCs from T1-4.
The first dragon seems too powerful for the beginning of the adventure.
Vampire Thrommel? He could be made into a blackguard instead.
