Great pdf version of this module. I owned the hard copy 30 years ago and it got lost over the years. I bought this pdf version after trying to find other pdf versions online and failing to find a complete, good version of it.

This version is complete. It's even color on the cover and back cover, just like the old-school modules. Everything is included.

Overall, great version of this module. Definitely recommend, and it's easily converted to 5e. This is one of the best older modules. Fun for players and DMs.

I love this adventure, own in in print but was missing the cover. It was worth the price and my players love it. They never see the twist in the adventure.

I first read "Horror on the Hill" almost two decades ago, so this was mostly a nostalgia buy for me. Nonetheless, B5 offers much for a modern gamer: a 'sandbox' module that includes both a wilderness with a number of encounter-locations and a well-mapped, multi-level dungeon, and both are populated with interesting and varied groups of opposition. There's just enough set-up to orient the GM without locking them into a specific campaign-setting, so the whole area can be dropped into a campaign (be it a published setting or homebrew) with a few names changed to fit. The primary obstacles to just playing this module 'out of the box' in any modern version of the D&D or Pathfinder game lie in the old, 'Basic' style stat-blocks, the lack of 'balancing' mechanisms like Challenge Rating, and the relatively generous approach to treasure inherent to the older form of the game. As written, some of the encounters (and hoards) aren't level-appropriate for a modern-style four-PC party of fifth-level, much less PCs just starting their careers! Nonetheless, if the GM can spare the time for the necessary conversion work with resources like the PRD, and is willing to either re-balance everything or accept that parties adventuring at the Hill are going to get either incredibly rich or unbelievably dead, "B5: Horror on the Hill" can make for several sessions' worth of lively and entertaining play. While I no longer have a print copy to compare it to, the .pdf conversion of the module is excellent. The text is clearly readable and fully-searchable, all of the maps are perfectly clear (if drawn to a larger scale than is customary today), and while the artwork is simple black-and-white, it is crisp, detailed and evocative. Short version: even if you're looking for a couple of ideas or maps to loot for your own campaign, this .pdf is a bargain. Hell, it's a steal!

I had low expectations of a PDF scan of an old product so I was quite impressed with this scan of B5 Horror on the Hill.

I vaguely remember the game from the dim dark days of the eighties as having a few very imaginative ways of dealing with wilderness adventuring. Yes, it's a Basic game aimed at young teens but if you pick the best bits out you will add more to an adventure than many full "campaign" products.

<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: It exceeded my expectations of the scan quality. It is more than the minimum required for me to use this product.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothing worth noting.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br><BR>[THIS REVIEW WAS EDITED]<BR>
