[UA] Ascension of the Magdalene

[Edward Parsons]

I was a little dissapointed by Ascension, as it seemed more of a D&D
adventure than an UA. The background was good, however, so were the various
beasties included. The layout and presentation was also very nice, I hope
that a similar standard is found in the new UA book (great advert! No
questions as to whether i'll buy it now...)
