I am soloing this right now, and it is excellent. Love the faction play. I can't believe one guy did all of this. That kind of makes it special to me. Great product.

G. Hawkins creates amazing stuff, and this is no different. I'm enjoying it as much as Gunderholfen. Lots of cool traps, creature tactics laid out, and some excellent maps. Highly recommend if you're looking for a dungeon to crawl.

I typically don't review/rate until I've run at least most of an adventure, but I'm making an exception. This may be the most competently executed "Thracia-like" I've had the pleasure of reading. It's weird, deadly, and - most importantly - it's vertical as hell!

The encounter/event tables are very evocative and do a great job at setting the tone, and the rumour tables are just okay. They're enough to get the party moving but not much else beyond that. Most of the "gas" is going to be coming from the "Village Events" which serve to drive the cult towards their ultimate goal.

There's a very fleshed out town with plenty of NPCs with details on their motivations, relationships and even where they keep their silver!

Additionally, you have a whole rival adventuring party (cultists) with their own identity, gear, and tactics. These guys are no joke and, if played intelligently, they can handily route a larger, more experienced party.

Beyond that, there's a massive area map for the above-ground ruins of Halith Vorn and this is where things really start rolling. The surface is dotted with a number of smaller ruins to give the party a taste of the threats/wonders that lie below. There are so many ways into the lower levels, with each one offering their own risk/rewards that the party could quickly find themselves out of their depth.

I won't get specific about the dungeon since we haven't gotten there yet, but it's good. It's really good. 5 levels of weird and challenging encounters with more than a few hidden/sub-levels giving the party months - if not years - of adventure!

All of this and we haven't even touched on the massive, thoughtfully designed maps, or the awesome illustrations (all done by the author). It also has an appendix chocked full of unique magic items, spells, a mutation and diseases tables that any GM/Judge/Ref can use in there game. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Much improvement upon Gunderholfen, there a factions, a Doom-clock, short entries with important terms highlighted in bold type, various entry points from top down to lower levels, maps are close to the entries to make reference easy. This one is Reallöhne good - just deadly as fu… without a cure disease machine. And: where do those cultist dudes get all the corpses from????

One of the best adventures I have read. If not The best. I can't wait to run it. It just hits and hits and hits. Creativity and quality everywhere. Transitions from an exceptionally well-done dungeon into the fantastic. Looking forward to exploring the rest of Hawkins' work

Just perfect for our crew of busy old players to spend a few hours together every other week. Thank you so very much for making this, it is joy to be a player in this world.

Absolutely fantastic. I've been running this for over a year and a half with a group of 6 players. They have been largely invested in the city and have been discovering it's secrets. The organization of indexes of this piece are extremely useful and have been helping me in running it quickly. I am eager for my players to reach the final level, and I look forward to the release of the other half of the dungeon that was mentioned.

Bought a PDF of this. I'm running a Westmarches game with several dungeons in the wilderness, even though I'm not really playing an OSR game (player's vote) I will still be using these locations in my game. The titular adventure is good, the rest are worth looking at. This is a pack of dungeon locations for 5 bucks, and there well designed! Can't go wrong with that.

love the old school feel of this book. really enjoyed the traps and encounters. excellent purchase for the price.

Very nice. The only thing I miss is a short description of map locales such as Halith Vorn and the villages.

I love it!! Great ending with lots of new spells, monsters and magic items. Very well laid out especially in the begining with the surface encounter maps on the same page as the description. More fun to be had in the Ganfal Swamp.

I am very positively suprised how detailed the the city of Longfelt is presented. There are 25 pages of event, encounter, incident, street scene and NPC tables (mostly d100) just for the city alone! They are laid out for each district and time of day which is just great for sandboxing as most of them do feel like pretty good hooks to get things started. The short summary of mayor city-NPCs and their goals is also a great help for navigating Longfelts countless plots and intrigues.

I love this adventure and its really well laid out. Lots of NPC's in the town of Longfelt for adventures to meet and I really like the random tables for encounters in and around the city. I cant believe one person did all this work, very impreessive. Ive ran the first lvl of the dungeon and its pretty straight forward. I had to stop running it because of work but Im getting the group back toghether and I will be running it over the summer. I recommend getting the map pack because the maps use a lot of ink if u print them out yourself. This adventure is setup for 1e or OSRIC but it doesnt take much work if ur using another version like OSE or b/x. Im using OSE and it works jus fine for that rule set. Looking forward to seeing whats down on the lower lvls. Its a good investment and it can be inserted into any campaign world with ease. Get the PDF book combo if u buy the book.

G. Hawkins keeps hitting it out of the park with his one man band (art and written word) adventures which are compatible with all TSR era D&D rule sets. these are table ready and immediately useful to drop into an existing game.

I haven’t run it, only read it and feel remiss providing a review of a product I haven’t “used”. That being said there are no opinions on this work posted yet. In the interest of providing a impartial opinion, here are my thoughts...

Gunderholfen is well written and cleanly layed out. highly gameable and professionally edited. The art is all B&W with a distinct old achool amateur style and i mean that in the best of ways. The maps are B&W and well crafted. It is very much "good vanilla" without a lot of original content as far as monsters and magic items go. Gunderholfen uses existing ingredients to craft an intrguing dungeon and city for your PCs to explore.

IMO $10 USD for 420 page pdf is a very good value. The included city section and it’s associated tables which could be used as a base of operations by PCs into the dungeon section was one of my favorite parts. The entire book is full of sections that could easily be imported into almost any game with no modification. Highly modular. I have no relationship with the publisher and did NOT receieve a copy in excange for this review.
