Deadlands: the Weird West
Publisher: Pinnacle Entertainment
by Aaron L. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 12/15/2021 11:37:10

The setting and everything is great as is the layout and the organization of the material. If you have ever played a Savage Worlds based game, then picking this up will be very easy.

My one complaint is that Deadlands: Weird West doesn't include everything you need to play the setting in its core books. Instead, you have to purchase the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition book as well. While I can understand that people who are already aware of Savage Worlds will already know this and be prepared for it, new players will not. The material in the Savage World Adventure Edition book that would need to be duplicated in the Deadlands: Weird West book is pretty minimal when all things are considered. For me, I would have preferred to have a setting core book that has all the information I need for the setting rather than having to have a second book which contains information that will definitely not work with Deadlands: Weird West.

DDAL08-01 The Map with No Names
Publisher: D&D Adventurers League

Aside from the obvious formatting and editing errors, there really is no reason why characters would "follow" the map that already has the "finish line" identified. It would have been better if only the first clue be revealed on the map presented by Duric, and then the other places revealed as the characters progress from location to location. The text indicates that characters are just going to follow a path to where X marks the spot in order from a stranger who hands them a map that they have never seen. Personally, I would have preferred to have Duric give the players a mysterious paper (instead of the map) stating that he just doesn't trust the regulars and would like to know A) If it is a map of some type, and B) where it leads in exchange for a chance to hear the tale. He may even be aware that this may be a map to the famed treasure and there are several false maps being found about the city and he only asks for a small "finders fee" if it does indeed turn out to be a real treasure map. Next, only put a clue as to the first location on the map and not the entire trail, allow characters to trace out their trail on paper and have this path be part of a puzzle. Also, I agree with others that there is no real reason for the Wedding Ring bonus objective. It could be written in to where perhaps Urth has learned what really brought the characters to the house and would like to know more, and then somehow tie the wedding ring to that. But as it stands, there is no reason for this to be part of this adventure at all. The Map Heist is a great addition to the adventure. It will add credibility to the supposed legitimacy of the map.

The arrangement of the bonus objectives was wrong all the way around. They should be laid out inline with the area characters encounter them rather than as an appendix causing unnecessary page turning that could be avoided. (It's a bit nitpicky, but thats the way I feel about the way it's arranged.)

I personally like the look and design of the adventure and don't mind the color and graphics but a printer-friendly version would be nice as well.

CCCTHENT01-03 The Dreaming Relic
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
by Aaron L. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/23/2017 19:47:56

Really enjoyed all three of the adventures in this series. Good mix of puzzles and combat in this third installment. The adventure said that it should take 4 hours, but the group I ran did it in about 2.5.

I would like to see players maps added to all three of this series as there are some things I did not want to give away to the group (Where the Chitins attacked, which building the Grungs were hiding in, the directions in the maze for example), but I just ran it Theatre of the Mind instead of using the maps.

As with the others in this series, there are several editorial errors that I hope to see fixed (The chart at the end of the adventure total XP awarded to players is different than the amounts given at the end of each chaper, for example) but these do not detract from the fun of this adventure.

Again, I highly recommend this series!

CCCTHENT01-02 Those That Dwell Beneath
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
by Aaron L. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/23/2017 19:38:18

This is a great adventure series. There is a good balance of roleplay opportunities and combat. This second installment is set for 2 hours but both times I have run it took around an hour.

There are numerous editing issues (mispellings, etc.) that could be addressed but they do not take away from the adventure at all.

I highly recommend this series.

This is a great adventure series. There is a good balance of roleplay opportunities and combat. This first installment is set for 2 hours but I find that it could take a little longer.

CCC-BMG-05 CORE 2-2 Songs of Law & Chaos
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
by Aaron L. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/03/2017 20:47:10

Decent adventure overall. But ther omission of handout 1 detracts from the challenge that would otherwise make this a better module. Encounters are well thought out and, as with the rest in this series, the roleplay opportunities are well thought out and can really enhance the entire adventure.
