Scepter of the Lightbringer Hardcover

As usual, Elderbrain has produced another quality product. My group (my 3 kids!) can't wait to start that adventure, which should hopefully be within the next few weeks. They have played Crown of the Oathbreaker and are currently in Torrents of the Spellbinder. Honestly, the investment into Elderbrain's projects has saved our family a lot of money in terms of what we might have spent going out instead of gaming. :)

I have not gone through the whole adventure yet but the main plot looks well thought out with a slight "Villians by Necessity" by Forward and Sweet feel. The background given creates a rich world that will be easy for player immersion, especially if the party plays up their religious preferences and bias.
Many of the magic items are great ideas and the non-linear plot diagram is wonderful. I have not yet delved into the sub-classes.
The physical book is well bound with high quality paper. Glad I I also have the electronic copy for writing on maps and handouts.
When my players finish their current campaign, this is definitely the next one in the queue. It looks much better than many I have run over the past few years.

Books look great. It's a lot to process but look forward to doing so. Can't wait to run the adventure.

This one has it all! A big adventure with lots of lore AND player character stuff too! Great stuff and Radiant Glow-in-the-Dark dice too! WELL DONE!!!

An Impressive Campaign That Would Benefit from Better Organization and Physical Extras

Scepter of the Lightbringer contains an impressive amount of material. The adventure offers a great deal of depth, and I appreciate how much step-by-step guidance is provided for the Dungeon Master. The setting, factions, subclasses, monsters, maps, and character options give groups plenty to explore, and there is clearly a great deal of creativity and effort behind the world of Eldain.

However, at 582 pages, the book sometimes feels too massive for its own good. The campaign adventure and the larger world-setting material compete for space and attention. I believe the product would be easier to use if the main adventure were its own book and Elderbrain released a separate campaign-world book containing the city-states, factions, lore, subclasses, spells, feats, monsters, and other character options from across the existing campaigns. Having one organized Eldain setting guide would make it much easier to use this material outside the published adventure and would give the world room to stand on its own.

I am also someone who is drawn to physical products, especially when a campaign offers both physical and digital components. Unfortunately, the dice included with my purchase were extremely disappointing. Considering what I paid for them, the quality simply was not there. I own several much less expensive dice sets that look, feel, and roll better. The dice felt more like a low-quality promotional extra than a premium component of an expensive campaign package.

The digital materials are useful, especially the maps, player options, handouts, and spoiler-free gazetteer. Still, adding a little more polish and exclusive content to both the physical and digital products would greatly increase the value. Better-quality physical accessories, improved organization, additional handouts, and stronger digital table support would make me much more confident about purchasing the next release.

Overall, this is a creative, detailed, and ambitious campaign with a lot to offer. My criticism does not come from a lack of content; it comes from wanting that content to be presented in a more accessible and useful way. There is an excellent campaign world here, but it deserves a dedicated setting book—and customers paying premium prices deserve premium-quality physical products.

Only read through it a bit, but it looks extremely well done. If I can find a local group that would like to try it I certainly would be game

I should've chosen to get all the add-ons from the kickstarter campaign, but I didn't, cause Scepter of the Lightbringer is so. cool. I haven't perused super thoroughly but that will change soon. At least I got cool stuff from Spawns of the Mindrender.

Impressed from start to finish ,as with the other Campaign areas Oath breaker and Torrents an incredible amount of content whilst leaving more than enough room to put your own individual mark on the game. Looking forward to Mind render knowing that it will be equally as in depth and rewarding.

From the running of the crowdfunding, updates during production, and fulfillment (including double boxing and custom styrofoam corner protectors) Elderbrain is the gold standard for TTRPG design and manufacturing. Flipped through the book (nearly 600 pages long) and it looks amazing. Can't wait to dive in to this campaign!

From the layout to the art on the cover of this book, it is absolutely gorgeous! I am in love with the attention to detail and the typography. As an artist and graphic designer, this book makes me incredibly happy to see the thoughtfulness and care that went into crafting this. Thank you, Elderbrain, for this beautiful masterpiece. I can't wait to see what new adventures and gorgeous artwork you create next!
