For the past few days, I have soloed my way through Larry Spotter and the Secret Supplement (resembles Harry Potter, 32 pages, on sale at DriveThruRPG). This is a setting for Witch Girls Adventures Second Edition (194 pages, same place) which I did use. The adventure I used was Blood Moon Rising for Labyrinth Lord (34 pages, has a fighting theme) but I changed it to a wizard casting theme. To solo this, I used a virtual deck of Magic Cards (275 cards, expansion - Strixhaven: School of Mages). I used six PCs for this adventure. The adventure starts when the NPC Rich (student) asks PC Leo to sign a homemade book. "Sign this petition. It is about getting free candy on the weekends. When we get the 20th signature, I will give the signers the candy." Leo signs it right away. Drina the PC knows this is dangerous, but Leo has already signed it and he is a friend. "Rich, you didn't sign it. You wrote Black Knight." She writes the name Princess in the book. Tod writes Werewolf, Larry writes White Knight, Biff writes Dragonslayer, and Rita writes Healer. When the 20th name is written in the book, all the signers find themselves in a fantasy world. They are now in a medieval village which is celebrating a festival. The PCs watch a parade and then participate in a wizard's wand duel (disarm your opponent). Tod gets first place. Because they participated in the challenge, they all get some coins. That evening there is a feast and then a bonfire. On the second day, an artist comes up missing. The PCs help search for him, but he is not found. The PCs then participate in a potion mixing contest. Drina wins that one. On the third day, the PCs go to a farm where some farmers were wounded by demons the night before. They use their healing spells. Next, the PCs participate in the Broom Riding Obstacle Course (race). An NPC won that one. That night the PCs go demon hunting. An hour before midnight, the PCs find six of them. The PCs kill four of them. Two of the PCs take two hits each and then blow up with blue slime flying everywhere. These two PCs now show up back at the magic school. The Headmaster questions them. They had been missing for three hours. When it is noticed that each of them has a lightning scar on their forehead, they are checked out. They have been cursed. The other four PCs watch the remaining two demons retreat. The demon bodies vanish and the four PCs pick up the four treasure tokens on the ground where the bodies were. The PCs then spend the tokens at the magic shop. Give this fun adventure a try! :)

I didn’t have a chance to play this at any convention, but I’ve evaluated all the historically accurate scenarios out there. Literally. And this one is by far the best.

My group and I really enjoyed this. It is a very coherent adventure, things made sense and I appreciated not having to make corrections to the story! There was enough information about the village and its inhabitants to make it feel like a real place. Also, as a history enthusiast, I loved how the cherry elements actually have parallels in the medieval real world, like cherry orchards, cherry fairs and cherry desserts. The Tanglewood is also really well done and provides ideas that a GM can use in a faerie forest in the future too. My only word of caution for the GM is that - Spoiler - since the Grombel can be harmed by fire, it seems likely (at least this is what my players did) that the PCs will somehow just overpower it using fire.

I understand why Swords & Wizardry was used as the template but to still include THAC0 in 2016? That's a poor design choice. In addition, I think more of the Whitebox bits should have been shorn back to allow for more modern mechanics with more modern warfare

I'm going to gush in this review.
So my country entered a lockdown at very short notice, on a Wednesday when we were meant to be playing D&D that Saturday afternoon + evening. There was some discussion and on Friday night it was decided I'd run something Pathfinder via Discord, and it would have level 2 or 3 pregens that I'd create.

I needed an adventure that would take about 7 hours to play, and needed minimal prep, and I had this one on my watchlist.

Best $1.49 I spent at Drive-Thru, absolutely recommend you go and buy it. For personal reasons I wanted the party to be all elfs, visiting and elf village so I quickly reskinned everybody's race. I spend about 10 minutes writing the stats for the titular fey, and ... that was it. The rest of the monsters I could fill from a usual bestiary.

I printed this, but didn't feel the need to highlight or take notes. The party got thrown into the adventure, and started the investigation of a missing child (a good strong hook that most parties will take), and as parties will always do, went off on the wrong direction. But that is fine there was enough stuff in here to flesh everything out. I had to quickly pull a short dead exit dungeon out of my prep shelf, but I knew what needed to be in it.

At its heart this is a simple mystery/investigation. It has a strong fey vibe, and it plays up the creepy and unknowing attributes of the fey really really well. The village comes alive easily, and feels real.

The session was very memorable. I spent longer whipping up 6 pregens in herolab than other prep work. My only negative comment is there didn't seem to be a player facing map to give the players, so I just gave them the real one. *

Fantastic one shot. Would really love to see more of these. It was a great and fun introduction to the system, and I've even adapted it to other systems because the concept is so good for getting your feet wet.

I reviewed this Module on my blog and gave it only a 4.5 stars because of the cartography. I'm rounding it up to 5 Stars here, because this is actually not an issue and the price tag is so low that it's really worth your money.

Great addition to the series..... My group enjoyed playing the Norway campaign. WE had a few minor problems..

This is a well-written short OWB adventure that can be completed in one session. The detail and sound layout of Mr. Araki's home is good, and the combat will be tough even at heroic hit points, but can be survived easily if the unit searches for arms around the property. I highly enjoyed running it.

You have made me not only a satisfied customer, but an overjoyed customer. After running your game system and the Norway Ablaze missions, all of my players had positive marks for it, and one of the players told me that OWB was his new favorite RPG experience. His older brother even conveyed to me that I replaced his older brother as his favorite RPG referee, following Norway Ablaze. I was very flattered, and I had to give you the credit you deserve. Pardon me for spoiling the surprise, but for the purpose of specific constructive criticism, the history behind the Third Reich manufacturing munitions with glycerin extracted from cod oil and the dynamic finale at the fish oil plant both intrigued and excited all my players, and the action from start to finish was a wild ride. Your games rocks, and it allowed me to shine in the eyes of my players.
