This is a great collection of tiny adventures that can easily be substituted into your games in-place of a random wilderness encounter.

They definitely add more flavour to the table than a standard "your camp is attacked by 4 kobolds in the middle of the night" or "You come across a graveyard with 2 skeletons".

As written, they're only for level 1 characters, but the monsters contained in each adventure can easily be scaled up for pretty much any party level without losing the flavour of the adventure.

  • Kobolds become Goblins, Hobgoblins, or Orcs.
  • Skeletons become Ghouls, Ghosts, or Zombies.
  • A Half-Ogre becomes a full Orge, Hill Giant, or Troll.

I will be buying more of these to keep printed out in my binder for when I need quick random encounters that don't suck and don't take much thought on my part to pull together.

A nice collection of side-quests and little adventures. Not sure how useful a bunch of lv1 adventures are though... Full review here: http://themurdernerds.com/2015/12/10/review-adventure-shorts/

Having now used 2 of the 5 included scenarios and prepping for a 3rd I can say that this product is worth getting. No, it's not going to be an epic dungeon crawl from any of these, they are shorts, but it does provide an excellent springboard to build from for a creative DM.

Adventure Shorts is definitely a great find. It gives great jumping points to start a nice Session which can be incorporated to any Campaign. I am thoroughly pleased with this product and definitely look forward to more from them.

Excellent group of encounters for first level characters. The encounters were straight forward and easy to follow. Just the right level of challenge and some interesting scenarios. As a DM it was a nice addition to have the PC's version of the maps which can be printed out and even enlarged for gameplay.

I only found one mistake and that was in the Forgotten Tomb encounter. There are 4 Skeletons in the encounter, which are indicated by x's on the DM map, but in the text description, it only lists 2.

Not worth it. These aren't short adventures, they are barely short encounters little to no imagination.
