Rise of the Drow (5e)

My overall rating is 2 stars. However its a bit of a mixed bunch. I would describe this product as a great long adventure, followed by the bits of another adventure. With bestiary that is very big, one page monsters. Which i love. Although the new monsters need a little help to stand out. And the artwork and maps are awesome. The format of the adventures is horrible. The first adventure is somewhat linear, but great. Maps are great especially if you are using VTT. And lasts from 2nd till about 7th level. The second adventure is sort of an outline of a sandbox in the Underdark. There is a start and an end. But very little in between. If the second adventure was as good as the first my rating would be 3 stars. And if the Bestiary monsters were a little more dynamic 4 stars. I suspect the product was written with a lot of love, and the original campaign it was based on was probably a lot of fun. Have the end product isn't that great, especially at $59.99 If you are looking for an underdark campaign. I would use Night Below, and converting it from 2E would be easier than using RotD.

Level Up: ZEITGEIST: Death of the Author (A5E)

Great little murder mystery adventure. Artwork and maps are all look good. Role playing tips for all the NPCs. Pretty straight forward to run. Plenty of opportunities for the players to role play and enjoy an investigation that wasn't just dice rolling. Only thing I didn't like was there was a lot of NPC to NPC dialogue. Which is the DM spending time talking to himself. But that is a minor quibble. If you want to run a murder investigation adventure , run Death of an Author.

Drop Zones: Valley of Crackling Snow (5th Ed)

I like the drop zone concept, and can easily drop this into a suitable campaign. The Monsters.NPC and plot hooks are well designed and thought out. I can use them without having to alter them. The layout is esay to read , and mostly good apart from the stats which run over two page which annoys me. A couple more NPCs would of made this a better product.

Both me and my players really enjoyed this adventure. There was combat, roleplayeing and some tactics throughout the adventure. My only reasons for not giving it a five star rating. Are how to fit it into a campaign, and a couple of niggly details. Its a stripped adventure where the PCs are thrown into a prison on a different plane without their equipment. No it happen that this was going to happen in my campaign, which was why I purchased the adventure. However to fit this into any campaign, your probably going to railroad your players somewhat. If you run it as a one off, the stripped section becomes a bit pointless So I think the adventure needs a bigger section about how to fit it into current campaign. The couple of annoying details in the adventure that I didn't like. The PC are branded to stop them leaving the plane/prison. But no rules to say how it was done, just you can't do that. When all that had to say was the brand functions like a permanent dimension anchor spell, and teleportation doesn't work on this plane. Also there's a section where the adventure gives details about one monster coming out of his room if he hears combat. But nothing covering the monster 50' down the corridor with the excellent listen check. I added a door to stop the monster hearing combat. But that should of been spotted by the designers. Overall an excellent adventure. And if you can find a way to fit it into your campaign buy it. Definatly value for money.

Its a nice idea and well thought out. However not really practical, and too complicated. What would be far better . Is a much more rules light system, that allows the player to add on more complicated rules. Also one problem that occured to me after reading EOM. Was that it takes away the fluff and leaves you with the bare bones of a spell. However its the fluff I like.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: nice idea.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: too complicated , not practical.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Disappointed<br>
