A pretty good adventure. Very linear but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I used it as part of a sandbox camping I’m running. One minor critic: I would really like it if the author gave the NPCs last names instead of just first names. Might just be my group but anytime I told them the name of an NPC their immediate follow up question was ‘What is their last name.’

Overall pretty solid.

Pretty solid. Haven't run it but have read it. Lives up to other adventures on the DM Guild, like MT Black's stuff, but with the more serious and grim gimmick.

Would like to see something longer.

Great adventure, very well balanced between combat and role play. The built in flexibility for player to take different directions is very well done. look forward to more from this author! Highly reccomend this adventure.....

I purchased this to be the set-up to my first ever campaign as a DM. I like how it reads, and it seemed like a perfect introduction, with modifications, to the "original" setting I'm devising for the campaign.

The Game of Thrones comparison did bring it to my attention, and all of the players are avid 40k fans. So a grim setting seemed right up our alley.

Can't really give a review of this adventure in practice though, as a new player has joined that I can see won't be as into this grim take. I don't want a female player's first D&D scene to be of a sexual assault about to happen. I see the job as DM to make the game equally fun for everyone at the table, and it just seemed easier to adapt different adventures.

That said, I'm keeping it in the repertoire nonetheless. Modifications to that opening scene can be made, and it'll still be a good lead-up to the village and future quests. The adventures I am instead leaning toward can easily branch off from that village.

I'm really looking forward to running this. It's well done, easy to insert into and easy to customize. It's got good bones as they say. Good work, very worth it.

This adventure has a lot of things going for it. The writing is taut, letting the action build slowly while keeping the emotions intense throughout, and finishing out in a blazing climax. The artwork sets a sombre mood with the right stylistic choices and a fine level of detail, using highlights and shadows to evoke the right feelings. The layout is concise, clear and uncomplicated. All of this is offered at an attractive price point too! Sure, a print-friendly version would have been nice, or maybe even a map or two - but why look a dusky, handsome Warhorse in the mouth?

If you are the kind of player or DM who likes mature, edgy and dark themes for their games, you cannot go wrong with this one.

I have never written a review before on the DMs guild, but i just had to say reading this was probably the most enjoyable adventure I have ever read and I have plenty in my library. When you stated this was closer to Game of Thrones or The Witcher really nailed the description of what this adventure is. I loved everything about this and I hope to see more dark and gritty adventures from you. It was amazing and again please do more adventures like this piece of art.
