A nice adventure with role playing and combat scenes. My players enjoy this even when it was their third run throught. Does need you to reorganize parts with the worst is the bar scene is place after the mystery room scene. Note I ran this with two other DMs, a regular player, and brand new to Adventure League player. Also due to time we did not do the boss fight. I do suggest DMs ham up some of PCS.

Solid Elemental Evil adventuring - The Drowned Tower fulfils the season 2 promise of delivering a full-scale Elemental Evil campaign in bite-size chunks. It's chained to the typical AL pattern of recruitment->investigation->dungeon->boss fight, but it does it as well as it can be done. Characters are engaging, the dungeon is substantive (and surprisingly large for an AL module), and it again makes good use of Mulmaster and its inhabitants. There's nothing particularly memorable here, but nothing particularly bad either. It gets the job done.

This adventure is fairly flexible. There's plenty of content, so it can easily be cut down for run time and still let you focus on the parts your players enjoy.

A good straightforward adventure, with includes social encounters, role playin and a dungeon crawl.

A good straightforward Tier 2 adventure, with a mix of social encounters, role play, and a good old fashioned dungeon crawl.

The author cautions DMs to keep the group on track if the goal is to finish on time, and that's no joke. It's fun enough that I might plan to do a second 4 hour session rather than race through it, and plan a random encounter for the walk from Mulmaster to the Tower.

A pretty decent mod. The writing was good and prep was relatively easy. The combats felt quite underwhelming at the table I ran, though perhaps it was the group that was overpowered.

In this module there is both an interesting investigation around a murder, and above all a very compelling exploration. the tower is dangerous and fascinating. 4 hours are not enough to play it well

This adventure has some great intrigue for role playing. The characters feel as if they don't know exactly who to trust; everyone has their own motives and potential downsides. I like how the characters have multiple options for resolving the end, which in turn leads to slightly different endings.

The tower itself is excellent, with a great sense of urgency and a variety of encounters for players. The only issue with this adventure is its run time. Even with cutting some things out, this adventure ran late. To anyone with a time limit, I recommend reading this module pretty closely in advance, to decide on what you feel is ok to cut out. I recommend some of the weaker combat encounters in the tower.

Overall, a great adventure!

Playing this felt like it gave players a sense of urgency. The tower itself was well done and the encounters were difficult to keep the party on their toes.

This is a pretty standard adventure. Nothing too out of the ordinary. You've got some roleplaying sections in the first half and then a straightforward dungeon crawl in the second half.

The tower itself fell a liiittle bit flat for me. I wish that the floors felt more connected to each other instead of "Here's a self-contained combat encounter with some cultists. Okay, now go down the stairway...and here's another self-contained combat encounter with some cultists." They don't reinforce each other? Maybe respond to the sounds of shouting and combat upstairs and try to prepare an ambush? Instead it's written as a linear series of three encounters—and the last one is prepared for the players not because they were stomping around making a racket right above him, but because his magic item warned him somehow (a property which it does not actually have, incidentally).

Oh, and I want to lodge a complaint about the Weird Tanks, which are kind of nonsense, as they work completely differently from the ones in Princes of the Apocalypse. They really shouldn't have the same name if they're a different item.

Anyway, overall, this module is pretty medium. The plot is okay, and the combats are good, but the whole tower section is a bit on rails. It's...fine. Nothing special.

Really fun Mod. Would recommend it for a DM to run or a player to adventure in. Nice combination for RP and Combat. I really like the investigation/questioning side of things, which doesn't happen to often in mods, from my experience. And, the Boss fight is very cool, if a little poorly worded in the mechanical side, IMO. Aside from that, Had a blast running it.

Overall, a really fun module. I think the ability for investigation, and the various paths that you can take to get the information you need is great - I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think that it had a nice balance of combat and investigation, and allowed a lot of different character types to shine. The final encoutner was incredibly fun, especially with the surprise second wave.

Recommend Purchase: Yes Playing this adventure counts towards the Season 2 quest: 'Benefits of the Brotherhood of the Cloaks' XP Range: 3000-4000

Note: No Season 1, 2, or 3 module has a digital certificate to print because WotC says they can't accept volunteer help for legal reasons and won't allow their paid employees to create the certificates even though they have the templates.

The DMSGUILD site segregates reviews between people who've purchased it here and everyone else. They do NOT have a robust rating system, relying instead on the 5-star model.

Very fun adventure, jumps right into things and was fun to go through. Element of mystery was there without being to vauge with good encounters.

I liked this mod. Definitely had the party thinking of what to look for. Need to have at least one experienced player though. It can get rough for new players if they don'thave guidance.
