I confess: I'm a huge fan of themed DnD adventures, especially ones that correspond with holidays, so when I saw Valentine Love Adventure, I was incredibly excited. I'm always looking for more DnD adventures that focus on love, friendship, and relationships, and I was really excited to see this one. And, overall, this is a really cute, fun adventure.

Valentine Love Adventure is for one or more level 1 adventurers and is intended to be played as a couple (DM and PC) or with several couples (the DM and their SO and other couples). It scales throughout the adventure, recommending 1, 2, or more monsters per encounter, and, cutest of all, it suggests little moments during the adventure when you can give your SO a small gift, further enhancing the moment. It's real cute.

The premise is that the party comes across a distressed fairy dragon whose fairy dragon SO was recently captured by some goblins. The dragon, Darastrix, pleads with you to go to the nearby goblin cave, past the wards, and rescue their SO, Ulhar. It's the only way to save their love! From there, you engage in a fairly standard dungeon crawl, finding healing potions, battling goblins, and occasionally triggering traps. Naturally, there is a boss fight with the goblin Valentine, and, if you're lucky, there might even be a wedding!

Overall, I really liked the idea of this adventure. I thought it was a cute premise and fairly well-written. However, I'm not certain that one 1st level adventurer could successfully make their way through this adventure (especially if they're a low HP creature), nor did I find the dungeon crawl especially original. Compounding the problem was the fact that the maps provided are pretty vague and a bit low res. Finally, although I loved the mechanic of the Valentine Special, which encourages you to shower your loved ones with little gifts, I would have liked to see the adventure take some of that responsibility. Perhaps a card or rose you could cut out? Instructions for an origami flower you could make? Otherwise, I feel like you could just adapt the Valentine Special mechanic to any adventure.

However, I do think this is a cute adventure that gives you a lot to consider and the price can't be beat. At a Pay What You Want suggested price of only $0.50, it's well worth the purchase, and, if nothing else, it's great to have an adventure like this in your back pocket. I'd definitely say give it a chance!

This was a fun mod to put into my on going game. Might be good to have suggestions on how to make this for different levels as my PCs were at lvl 6 when I ran this.
