A Night of Masks and Monsters is a romp through a Venician city called Ibrido, joining a masquerade ball to uncover a secret war between two otherworldly factions. This is a great adventure to pull out if your players express a desire to use such a setting as a backdrop. The core magical items were very interesting for the party I ran this for. This scenario could be run in a single 4-hour session, but that would mean either rushing through the content or playing with three or fewer players; as a result, expect this to run for about 2-3 sessions, depending on your players.
With transparency, I tried running this as a side adventure to my main campaign from The Dragon of Icespire Peak, and while it was a relatively fun breath of fresh air, it felt a little jarring and out of place to run it that way. Be prepared to make revisions as needed to make it fit, or run it as a either a full campaign or a prequel to a campaign where the factions present can have a more lasting presence.
The layout and artwork for this product are very nice. Very solid design.
