Nice!

13 free NPC's, great style, formatting, and character background. Very easy to drop into any campaign at a whim. Much appreciated. :D

Dungeons on Demand: Volume One

I ran my players through Fierce Tempers after they were through with Hoard of the Dragon Queen. I found the format very easy to follow, and the player-safe maps were very helpful in showing the area when Theater of the Mind fell short. I was especially impressed with the map updates that were provided as the environment was changed during the adventure.

Finally, the encounters held up strongly to my party, which has a tendency, as I'm sure many do, to take things off the rails and make mincemeat of the most well laid plans. I look forward to working Lord of Gloomthrone in at the next chance I get.

Great dungeon! Nice details but still open to adjustment. Player maps and DM maps is a great feature.

Fantastic, easy to follow adventures, especially for a new DM such as me. They fit perfectly into my homebrew setting and also contain great encounters and ideas for uses outside of the written adventure.

Tim's review is spot on. This adventure is fun for the players and fun for the DM! I really enjoyed having to use different voices for the bandits!

Purchased this because I liked Bandit's Nest so much and I'm glad I did. The higher level adventures are in the que for when my players get there, but I've already used items/monsters from Imbued and New Twists. Definitely worth having as a DM.

Thanks for your review! I am in the process of updating the Volume One adventures to include the changes already implemented in Bandit\'s Nest and Devils in the Details, including combat difficulty gauges and player safe maps.

Devils in the Details (Level 16 PCs)
by William F. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 05/12/2015 10:02:18

I have really enjoyed all of the modules that have been produced so far. The addition of the player maps is a great help. The only thing that has kept me from giving it 5 stars for this module is the maps enclosed are for the level 1 module, Bandits Nest. If that can be corrected, I would give it 5 stars.

William - I believe the issue you experienced may have been overwriting the Devils in the Details Area Map file folder for Bandit\'s Nest one. I renamed the files so you should be able to avoid the issue. Are you able to download again to get the correct files? I\'d be glad to assist you!

I LOVE this module and all the modules created by Dan Coleman Productions. I can highly recommend them, for the simple fact that my players loved them.

My players love receiving maps designed for them to use. I like the format of these adventures - the little symbols on the map that tells you room X is important for story progression (which means finagle the characters to go there), etc. Very nicely done.

Wow, inspiring. Some great campaigns and set professionally. I am preparing to start campain1 with a new group and am confident they are all going to enjoy it. I look forward to more from this publisher! For the cost it is a huge value! As a DM, have found less and less time to create the campaigns I once did and rarely bought into the prepared campaigns. I am overjoyed to find such a professional piece of work for such a low cost.

These are GREAT adventures. They are laid out nicely, well thought through, and short enough to plop into any campaign without issue. They also have suggestions on what to change to personalize the modules for your specific campaign world. I highly recommend these.

Got this as part of Dans Dungeons on Demand Kickstarter. The Dungeons are easy to read, well constructed and work well with most systems. I am currently using them with a group new to tabletop RPG and am using the Pathfinder module. Excellent work, excellent quality, well worth the money for its cost.

Bandit's Nest (Level 1 PCs)
by Tim B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/08/2015 12:21:24

I picked this up as part of Dan's DUNGEONS ON DEMAND Volume 1 Kickstarter, to see if it was worth tossing a few dollars into the mix...and what a resounding YES!

Bandit's Nest is a short location-based adventure, featuring a band of kenku thieves and brigands hiding out in a small temple and its outlying buildings. In order to mix up the encounters a bit, there also happens to be a Harpy and a bear, but they are integrated very tightly into the story. While the adventure assumes a core motivation of the party is to rescue a captured merchant's daughter, several alternative hooks are not only mentioned, but have their consequences spelled out as well.

The module as a whole is very strong in presentation (fantastic maps and one piece of evocative artwork), background (short but flavorful), and overall execution, two things need to be harped on a little bit, as they are what drew me to this adventure, as well as Dan's other Dungeons On Demand works. These are:

(1) Extremely clean, informative maps that utilize specialized icons to denote the locations of monsters, traps, NPCs, and plot hooks. The module has an overall map of the temple and its outlying ruins, but then zooms into each one for an encounter map that can easily serve as a battlemap if you use minis, and if not, serves as an excellent guide to the placement of important items and characters so that the DM isn't worried about having to fill in these details later. It's sort of like a "best of" encounter design from 1st edition AD&D (short, concise text with an overview map), 4th edition D&D (battlemap-inspired zoomed-in maps featuring monster placement), and later-era DUNGEON Magazine adventure icons (denoting that the adventure contains a certain mix of traps, monsters, and treasure).

(2) Concise-yet-detailed discussion of permutations. What I mean is that Bandit's Nest addresses the specifics of Kenku mimicry, making it a detailed plot point for communication purposes. It sets up a believable and interesting "ecology" regarding the relationships of various, otherwise disparate monsters that the PCs can exploit (or that bites them in the behind!). It uses a minimum of words to convey a maximum number of possible plot hooks.

While the adventure relies on existing monsters from D&D 5th Edition's Monster Manual, there is one new creature (the Kenku Crowspeaker) and two unique NPCs (one being the aforementioned merchant's daughter, and the other the Kenku bandit leader). The mechanics, monsters, treasure rewards, and everything else about the adventure seems perfectly balanced and purposefully adheres closely to D&D 5th Edition's encounter/treasure paradigm, though there are notes on tailoring the adventure for greater difficulty, reward, or expansion.

Let's sum it up with this: I was so pleased with this adventure (that I originally received for free, mind you) that I came back and immediately put down $4 for the Pay What You Want. This is precisely what I'm looking for in a published short adventure, and I want to support making more of that! Other adventure designers -- of any edition, really, or any OSR game -- would do well to learn from this presentation and utilize it as a template of how to do location mapping and adventure presentation right. The only loss is that there isn't more artwork (such as portraits of the major NPCs), but considering the detail and quality of the maps, this is a small loss indeed, and something that can be easily sourced from a quick Google search or the like.

A+
