TL/DR: A very well done, setting-agnostic very new-DM-friendly campaign starter adventure with some great artwork, compelling NPC characters, and plenty of room for the DM to expand during or afterward.

A young mild-mannered commoner meets with a fortune teller and learns he is to become the new lord of a long lost Glenfallow Keep. He hires the adventurers to help him reclaim his birthright and rid the old fortress of the foul monsters within. Help him, and when young Pieron eventually becomes the Lord of Glenfallow, he will share with your party his good fortune.

PROS:

  • Colorful NPC characters that have their own goals and motivations potentially at-odds with the party’s.
  • Small, detailed micro-setting that can easily nestle into a wilderness region of most D&D style fantasy settings.
  • Well balanced and designed encounters with plenty of advice for new DMs on running them.
  • Really nice artwork that evokes a unique flavor and mood to the adventure.
  • Plenty of nice maps.
  • Several places in the story for a DM to expand if desired.
  • Part one of a series of adventures that can be interlinked for a larger campaign.

CONS:

  • A bit too linear and possible to derail without the DM intervening with deus ex machina for key NPC characters.
  • Could have used a few more example side-quests for a new DM to understand how those can work into a larger plot.
  • More “hex-crawl” random or fixed encounters would have given it a bit more OSR flavor that I’m a fan of, but this is a very minor “problem” and one easily fixed by a more experienced DM, if desired.

Final: Recommended for 5e DM’s looking for a good way to kick off a campaign.
