This was an already great title before it got updated.
Once the PoD of this updated version goes live it will be my first purchase. I am greatly looking forward to it.
Tight writing, good plot hooks, great npcs, well ordered, beautiful hand drawn maps. This module has it all.
Some noticable nice thing about this module missing in many others are the summaries up front, like the notable streets, the timeline it gives, the reward posters it provides.
Here is an example event from the rollable table for the town Dulwich.
The town guard attempts to disperse an angry group of workers upset with a tax rise. A few of the workers begin to throw stones.
Example Npc
Zado (location 11; CN male human unknown) plies his trade in the marketplace as a street performer or, perhaps, street performers. However, this enigmatic performer’s real trade is in secrets and information
Example street
Briar Park Row: A small park rests along the street. Believed to be the remains of a former druid’s grove, the park features a large oak tree with a life-like face etched into its trunk. Badgers’ (location 15) stands on Briar Park Row, and the presence of its watchful, armed mercenaries makes this a particularly safe, crimefree street
As you can see its not just a one word monster or event but rather a fleshed out encounter with some real meat to it either to inspire you on or drop in as is to your game. There has been some real love and thought gone into this product.
Its a delight to read!
