A great example of an open-ended sandbox-oriented adventure. Scourge is well-grounded in standard fantasy tropes, and I was worried this would make it generic, but it just ended up making it portable to a wider array of campaign settings. It's not hard for a GM to manage all the different plot elements, but there are enough hooks and background events that the players can go a lot of ways with this. Conley helpfully provides notes about his experiences running the adventure as well as an entire sandbox mini-setting for the adventure to take place in. This is great material that empowers a GM to empower his or her players in an old-school way.

Excellent, non-linear adventure! The relationships between the main factions are clear, and it requires thinking more than charging in head-first (though if you want to resolve it by charging in head-first...feel free to). I would have liked a bit more description of the various locales, but that's not a big enough ommission to take away a whole star from an otherwise superb adventure...so 5 stars it is!
