I just want to let out some steam because i am pissed...
This will contain minor Spoilers about a few Characters that appear in this adventure
So for the Big Adventure agaist Vecna, a Threat to the multiverse it was said, even in the pre one-shot, that the BBEG will be the Lich-God Vecna, but now we are here with the same Stat block we got 2 Years ago from the Vecna Dossier, Vecna the Archlich while other known BBEG's get new stat block like Tasha the Witch and Strahd, Master of the Death House, and Mordenkainen still uses the Archmage stat block without extras... i really hoped for some interesting new things for Vecna and some others that don't have their own stat blocks....
So if you, back then, played the free One-shot "Don't Say Vecna" congratulations because now you know what awaits you at the end of this adventure, at least from what Vecna is capable of, he might have some other fancy minions with him but still this stat block... for the 50th Anniversary I really hoped more that just reusing old things for the MAIN Villain of the book...
If you want to see what monster are there, just go to the Monsters tab and filter for Source-> Vecna: Eve or Ruin, or look for "Vecna" it shows his stat block and the source now is Vecna: Eve of Ruin and not Vecna Dossier anymore
I've also got a thing about the book. Why's there a Mickey Mouse Club House reference? Remember the password? Miska Mooska Mickey Mouse? The demon lord Miska is a part of that password!
Vecna dos not get all his powers. Under Limited Teleportation it says only Vecnas Fell Rebuke works, so he cant even use his Vile Teleport to regain HP... this seems a mager over sight to me and makes him a lot weaker.
I dont know if this is a miss print but if not I find it very odd.
my biggest issue is just... why can't players in 50y adventure just... you know...win, imprison/kill instead of just kicking Vecna butt back on Oerth, where is satisfactory win instead open "f you and i'll see you tommorow". Also it feels like rod isn't really that important compared to storytelling time wasted around him. Another meh aspect so much adventure time given Kas and so little about Vecna, it was more organic to see Kas bbeg at that point

You should really notate your topic about spoilers for the module
