I love Carcosa to bits and I am just starting to play through the Return to version. Completed the first 2 scenarios so far and the added variety is great and it fixes a couple of little issues.

My favorite part of this scenario is the introduction of The Man in the Pallid Mask weakness. Matt Newman loves his recurring mini-boss characters (the Harbinger in Forgotten Age, Spectral Watcher in Circle Undone), but this is probably my favorite. He doesn’t necessarily do anything, but you feel like you need to do something about him. Very evocative.

It’s a minor quibble with this scenario (for more in this campaign actually), but the map is almost too big. Depending on location draw, you can waste a turns just moving, which isn’t the most exciting. I do like big maps and the feeling of place they deliver, but moving is the second-least exciting action in the game.
