Warriors of Sehanine
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild by Paul M. [Verified Purchaser]	Date Added: 06/02/2024 02:16:47

The production value of this adventure is high. It's well formatted and has nice illustrations and maps. It's surprising that despite this it also suffers from typos that could have been caught by a spellchecker like "eytraoridnary".

It does suffer from some key issues though. It's not obvious where to start the hex crawl, and though the forest is quite big, there's only two points of interest beyond the keep. The characters have to detour to go to them, and given they're supposed to be chasing after the wounded dragon, it's not clear why they would go anywhere but the keep.

Marla's motivation for binding the ghostly fox is also unclear, beyond being "evil". I can make up something myself here, but it would have been nice if it established what their relationship was.

It's also not clear why the elves know nothing of Marla. Given they decide to attack the orcs roaming through the forest, you'd think they would have been more proactive in seeking her out. Why don't they know about the kobolds either?

It's also a shame the maps included are so nice, but the files are relatively low resolution. [Edit: To give a specific example the map of Ravenglade Keep is has a grid of 10 ft squares at a resolution 70px each. If you're using it on a VTT with 5 ft squares, that means each will be 35px, which is below the supported resolution of FoundryVTT, so you need to scale up the image. It's still useable, but one that had a resolution of at least 70px per 5ft square would have been appreciated]

Hello Paul, Thank you for your valued review. I thought I give some information to some of the things you adressed. This is not to make your points moot, but to give a bit more insight: * The adventure has been professionally edited, but sometimes mistakes do slip in (these also happen in official DnD releases). While we regret such things, the higherr the volume of text there is, the easier it is for stuff to slip through. Feel free to reach out to us, so we can see, if we can address those small mistakes. Thank you. * The starting point on the map is deliberately vague to let the DM set the starting point depending if they want a more exploration focused or - as set by the adventure - a race against time adventure. This is also why Appendix B features a more invested encounter with Marla to give an example on how to add to the area. You are correct into assuming that the party does not have animus to explore further before this is to address lingering questions (i.e. they might encounter the ruins later that will give them insight about why the draogn attacked ravenglade keep). * Marla wants to rule the Woods of Sharp Teeth as detailed in page 15. There does not need another elaborate motive. Note that the focus of this adventure is not Marla's encounter but the attack of Ravenglade Keep. * Marla does not operate outwardly evil, so the Warriors do see no need to have quarrel with her and the kobolds, until the attack of the dragon, kept to themselves at the ruins. The orcs on the other hand try to claim the woods of sharp teeth for an assault, which naturally will bring strife to the region, with the Warriors probably being exposed in the end. * We disagree with the resolution, we tested the files provided for VTT and tabletop. However we can see that there might be instances where people want to print out the maps bigger than intended. Apologies for that. All the best - Florian Emmerich
