I slipped this gem into my ongoing campaign and expanded it a bit. The maps are worth the price your asking alone and the story is layed out clearly and gets your players deeply, pun there, involved. It is complex without bogging down and yet kept the interest of my players. Don't stop creating stories.

This was the adventure that jumpstarted my son and my love for D&D. Easy to follow with a great mixture of puzzles, items, monsters, and situations where you can make decisions. I'm getting ready to roll this out again for a new group.

Not really good. No clever traps about that you can think about. The only interessting trap is where a player is exchanged by a doppelganger. The rest is really not interessting - just something (mostly an object) that you take and a trap is activitaed. It would be better to use mechanics that are more complex and where players have to think about...

I was looking for a small taster of the lair magazine to see if the content would work for my group, but instead I got a lair magazine copy with an obnoxious watermark over the top. I would prefer maybe 1 adventure from an older copy, as well as a small selection of other older content. I don't know if this is what this is, but I can't tell from the big bold words.

Lair Magazine is likely a good resource. Downloading this sample was a waste of time and space. Where the words SAMPLE that are written across each page obsuce enough that one only gets to read a paragraph or two per page. Hope, it is the paragraph you wanted to read. I can see myself giving this sample a 4 or 5 stars if the words were not opaque or if the sample were easily read but half the pages were missing. As is, it is hard to deal with or get a feel for the magazine and the creator.

Another bundle that is worth its weight in gold. Filled with content that is comparable to anything you could buy from WOTC, but without the dozens of pages of fluff that they include for every one thing that is usable in game. 100% a valuable DM resource.

Fantastic and well constructed set of issues, as always. Between all three issues included, it is nearly as much as many official publications, and even more than quite a few. Well worth the cost, even if not discounted.

I really like this. Now to just get my players to actually fill it out. Bribe them with gp perhaps?

The template provides the fundamentals for planning and organizing an adventure, and if this was all that was offered in the product, then this would have gotten a solid 3 stars.

The addition of italicized text in each section provides the reader with more context to help identify how to get the best milage out of the template. Each section also contains example content that demonstrates how the author uses the template within the context provided. The template provides more guidance than expected and the additional effort on the part of the author is really nice.

The inclusion of a docx copy of the template is a nice touch and sidesteps the hassle of having to create an editable digital copy.

Overall it is a simple product with a humble goal, but it is well and thoughtfully executed.

What a guy! I got this download for free from Luke on his subscriber mailing list and after a quick read through I am impressed! for 2$ its well worth the buy. The different monsters have meaningful and compelling sides to join with, depending on how your players engage.

I always wanted to have something like this, Luke, and you made my life much easier with this thingy. So, thank you! Great content (as usual) <3 ^^

I originally planned on running this for a one shot but it ended up fitting well for one of my campaigns. It helped give me a break on the level of prep work which balanced well since I put this into a VTT. This was worth the price and my party really enjoyed it.

Thanks Luke!

Luke I enjoyed reading this and got many ideas for my campaign. Keep up the good work.

Love it! Note: the cover doesn't reflect the actual traps inside the booklet. lol (maybe one or two of the images.)

If i counted right, there's 28 Traps in this. (Edit: He updates this and adds more traps over time.)

My favorite things: 1) These traps are simple/easy to understand. 2) they're marked with a difficulty rating "not dangerous/setback?/dangerous?/deadly" and mentions character levels this trap can be for. 2) Description/ Trigger / Effect/ Countermeasures Its suuuuuper clear. (Constructive Critisism: Please add this to the Trap called "Octonote". It's one long decription but it can be split into "Trigger"[Playing any other note...] and "Countermeasures" [Characters who succeed on a DC...])

Also for fun, I've written into the margin of some of these, to give it a reason to exist. "elf door/lock", "neat item", "bridge trap"..... and my favorite note is "Drunk Wizard". (I mean, come on. a good handful of these were totally created by a drunk wizard and they're awesome.)

These traps are clear, fun, silly, devistating,... its got allllll kinds. I recommend this list of traps to any DM to suppliment their game traps.

I love this adventure but I've been tripped up by some typos and have some constructive critisism.

0) Page 10, A1 (Just me, maybe?) "A sturdy iron door, designed to be lifted upwards, and a steel portcullis stands at either end." I misread this as meaning there was a door and on either side of the door was a portcullis. But what it is saying is, "there is an iron door on the south side and a portcullis on the north side." I don't know if anyone else will trip on reading this so I thought I'll mention it.

1) Page 11, Map: Missing label for A13: Bathes. (found on page 14 and realized the label was missing from the map.)

2) Page 12, Typo. "attept to retreat, ... to A15 through the normal door,..." This is incorrect since every paragraph after that proves that it should have said A11.

3) Page 13, Line through the Read Aloud: The top line for the Read Aloud on this page is unfortunately cutting through the first line of text. Dunno if that can be fixed. thought i should mention it. (its still readable so not a big deal).

4) Page 13, What are the Boots of Drow? Is it homebrew, or from a previous edition? I can only find this version of it on the internet: Adds +2 to Dexterity and –2 to Strength (the score, not the mods). Is this the boots you intended?

5) Page 18, "He joins any combat on round two after he as cast..." Should this say "after he has cast..."?

6) Page 19, Occupants. "....was here with, but likely left to aid the..." Shouldn't the 'with' be removed? I don't think it's supposed to be there.

7) Page 18/20, 18 mentions "cloudkill" but the spellbook in Appendix A page20 is missing "5th Level: Cloudkill"

8) oh and. where should i roll the treasure hoard that was mentioned at the beginning? or am i misunderstanding something?

I'm very glad you mention loot after every encounter. I love the Lounge :) I love how there's simple tactics to follow to help us use the Enemies. I love most things.

Thanks for making this!
