The latest adventure for Hackmaster is Dusk of the Dead, for characters of levels 5-7.
Dusk of the Dead is made to work as a followup to Frandor's Keep, so it can easily be dropped into the setting presented there or used on it's own. Still, it works best with Frandor's Keep.
DotD doesn't have bookmarks, which probably aren't too useful in a short piece like this, but it does have hyperlinks. Some, admittedly, are links back to the Kenzerco website, but most of them are aids to navigate the adventure. I love me some hyperlinks, and I think they are well done for the most part. Heck, even the maps have hyperlinks back to the room descriptions.
The maps are excellent BTW. Nice use of B&W line drawings.
As for the adventure itself, it looks like a fun adventure for a Halloween themed nite of gaming. Still, I suspect it might be a tough for a party on the low end of the 5-7 level range.
