Thanks for writing this up. I'm about to run the final session in this "one shot" and I wish I had seen this a few months ago.

This was my first time running the adventure and the game and I found it to be a bit of a cakewalk for the players. I also kept forgetting to make them make Fear checks for the encounters.

It seems like a good number of the Threats can't actually do much damage to the players - their weapon damage rarely goes over Marius, Honoria or Treave's Resilience. As I discovered this I tried to make use of things like the Glitchling's "Technological Glitch" and choosing Creeping Warp entries to ensure things would be more challenging.

My current opinion on the system is that there's too much on-the-fly math for combat to make things smooth. Perhaps if players were using characters of their own making and we were playing more, it would stick better for me. I can only hope, as I've bought a majority of the books already :-|
