I, and my party, really enjoyed this game! Depending on how much time you have, it's big for a single session; we normally have about 3 hours for games, and I had to cut off a large chunk of the game to try and make that time limit; it's definitely a 5 or 6 hour game to give the explorers time to piece together the overall mystery, but it's a solid story, a lot of fun, and the pdf is laid out in a way that made it very easy to run an online game without needing to print it out. Lots of combat and exploration, not as much space for role-playing, if that's your thing.

One of the best story lines and ideas for an adventure that we definitely enjoyed. It could have provided some more puzzle elements to dealing with some of the ghosts and perhaps some more detail on how to peice together what happened. It could have also been a bit creepier.

I ran this as a new DM for a small group of players- including a newbie. The adventure was fun well paced and intresting! The entire party had a blast. I found running it really straight forward and easy. 10/10 I am planning on running it for another group on a later date.

Ran this as a first adventure with a group of friends from high school and it was a hit! We all had different levels of experience with D&D, but it was easy to get into. We did it all in about five hours, but I did end up cutting out most of the basement to make time. I made copies of the handouts on parchment paper, burning the edges for some added immersion. Though it was supposed to be a one off, I ended up sending the PCs into Barovia next.

A full review was posted over at my blog, https://randommatters.wordpress.com/2018/03/22/from-ancient-grudge-review/

From Ancient Grudge isn’t my favourite of Winghorn’s adventures, but it’s a damn good one by any standard. It doesn’t have the whimsy of Wild Sheep Chase, the straight-up nastiness of Horror at Havel’s Cross, the crazy high-level messiness of To The End of Time, the easy adaptability of Honour Among Thieves or the compellingly weird problems of Wolves of Welton. Its closest rival in Winghorn’s library is probably The Hound of Cabell Manor, another module with a literary premise (though a little more recent) but one that’s a little more short and straightforward.

Comparing the best with the best isn’t a particularly useful exercise though, so I’ll leave it there. From Ancient Grudge will put any party through both combat and social challenges as well offering any dedicated roleplayer the chance to bite into some juicy narrative.

As always, Winghorn makes a pretty book. The design and the layout is clear throughout with sidebars, headings and crisp bodies of text interspersed with fitting artwork sourced from Adobe Stock, all of which is integrated beautifully with the text.

In closing this is a must-have for anyone whose party includes a Shakespeare geek (just me?) and another solid entry in the Winghorn line of off-the-shelf adventures that can fit into any D&D setting with only the slightest work.
