This is an excellent side quest for a party. The pregen'd characters are great, and really offer the players a chance to show off their roleplaying talents. With a wide variety of monsters to fight, this module will be a perfect addition to any regular game session you are running, especially if you want to take a break from the same group of characters for week or two. And though the characters aren't part of the core rules, this module will surely work as an intro to new players, with lots of mayham and laughter to be found.

This was the second 5e game i ran as a DM, I made a few mistakes but i thouroughly enjoyed running this as did my players! I had a lot of fun using the squirrels cuteness againt my partner :D This was hilarious, from the camp hairdresser all the way down to the toilet mimic. (which the party avoided... dam them.) anyway without giving away to many spoilers, its a fun game to run and an interesting take playing as the monsters and the evil guys for once.

Even just reading this adventure had me cracking up -- I can't wait to run it!

The author's storycrafting skill turned out a very fun, clever, and entertaining adventure. It's tough enough to pull off evil characters, not to mention humor, but this is a resounding success in both regards. The players will revel in getting to be the bad guys for once -- it's so much fun to smash the overly perfumed and primped enemies who wouldn't think twice about squishing a kobold or hobgoblin in return!

I applaud Matt Rauscher for giving the players strong enough motivation to stick together and for making the misfit maggots just as sympathetic and appealing to portray as any good-aligned PC ever was. The variety and creativity of encounters is inspiring, hilarious, and detailed. And finally, I love the hand-drawn, watercolor style of the dungeon maps.

Seriously, I just read this through a second time for the entertainment value alone. Imagine your group playing through this and you'll be envisioning a lot of laughs, shenanigans, and downright evil heroics!

Another top notch product from a great writer and DM, the art work is excellent as well. The characters were quirky and fun to role play. Great for getting a group together and out of their normal routine. Can't wait to see what happens in the sequel. Keep up the great work Matt.

Fun one shot with a great sense of humor. Highly recommended if you've got a group of new players, and you want to introduce them to something that heavily encourages roleplay over rollplay.

MM5 is a great one shot for mixing up things for a game group, I just ran it for one of my groups and they loved it, pregens and great quirks for each PC, the module is written very well and the art work is top notch, A humorous module is sometimes hard to pull off but Matt steps up to the plate and proves why he is a great Game Master, my group had me write down some of the events because it left the whole table laughing.

first event i`d like to share " the group is 2 hours into there trip to Thrallrat when they happen across the centaur an the elven scouts, when the group makes a check they realize that this is Fabio the centaur famous hair care merchant, the player running Bilgue" we`re going to kill fabio?!" the player running Durang " Ive always wanted to do this" At Thrallrat enterance Muk says" I swear I`d never go in a hole this big!" to all that are looking for some good fun look no farther, pick this up today. your`s truly Nob Nob the first

Matt has written another great adventure! I love that he has provided pregenerated characters for this one. Perfect when you have unexpected guests and want to run something fun and punchy without spending too much time developing a PC.

The Misfit Maggot Five provides a good hook, memorable characters, and DETAIL. All five sense are addressed which makes for a more immersive story-telling experience and of course you get a good crawl through a dungeon. As with his previous release, Days of Blight, this adventure is generic enough to drop it into just about any campaign setting with minimal fuss. It is also easily written into a campaign if you decide it should have a bigger role in your world. Or, it's simply a great one shot adventure that is perfect for quick entertainment and/or inviting first-time players to the table.

Enjoy!
