With this adventure now becoming pay-what-you-want with the remaster (and physical book pre-order open here http://falsemachine.blogspot.com/2020/05/dco-remastered-pre-orders-are-open.html), I feel like its worth it to finally review this adventure, sorry it took so long, I forgot to do so after buying and running it!

To start, I paid for the physical version to be sent to me (which had the PDF included, so I was able to read through it a few ((hundred)) times before it arrived), which came in the form of a nondescript book that looks very simplistic, but with the very ominous front cover art you can see here.

Which is a good place to follow up: the art.
Holy wow, the art is magnificent. Scrap Princess has done a marvellous job of encapsulating the truly creepy and weird nature of the whole adventure. Every single piece of art that I saw kept me engaged with how the adventure was playing out while prepping, which is a HUGE deal for adventures. Art is so important to keep a GM interested,...See more

The link to Gus L's maps seems to be broken. Those maps are available here: http://dungeonofsigns.blogspot.com/2014/07/deep-carbon-observatory-maps.html

I bought this with the Relief Bundle, and I see it's for D&D, but which edition?

It's for the older editions (e.g. B/X, the 1981 Basic game) and their retro clones (e.g. Basic Fantasy RPG, Labyrinth Lord, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, Whitehack etc.), most of which can be obtained for free. I expect it also works well enough with 5e, the stat blocks are all simple enough.

This is years late, but to clarify: I ran the remix in 5e, converting on the fly, and reskinning a bunch of standard 5e creatures to match the adventure. Worked great!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
