And sure enough, that\u2019s what was inside.<\/p>\n<p>So, pretty much exactly the same as the other adventures, from a high-level standpoint. I like these alien environments, and in particular the treasure\/object lists that are included. In addition, the greater location of this one is a nice touch. The dungeon is a collection of plaque bubbles and they hang off the side of \u2026 something. This is kind of an interesting concept and harkens back to the Bottle City. In particular I like the concept that th eliving plaque bubbles hand down the side of a pit that leads to the base of the world\/bottomless world pit. There are some more munadne options as well, a creatures gullet, a cliff, sinkhole, lava tube, etc, but I really like THE FANTASTIC that \u201cthe bottomless pit to the base of the world\u201d represents. D&amp;D should have fantastic locales, beyond the norm.<\/p>\n<p>Feel ripped off by the review? Well \u2026 I\u2019m keeping this adventure, because of it\u2019s role as a curiosity. Things are getting a little too generic in their weirdness for me to recommend this to others. I still think the second in the series, Lucid, is the more approachable for most DM\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>This is available on DriveThru.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/product\/126921\/Gleams-of-the-Livid-Plaque-Psychedelic-Fantasies-7?1892600\">https:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/product\/126921\/Gleams-of-the-Livid-Plaque-Psychedelic-Fantasies-7?1892600<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Paul Keigh Psychedelic Fantasies D&amp;D The third installment of Paul Keigh\u2019s \u201cProcedurally generated weird place\u201d feels just that: procedurally generated.
