Great product, especially for those DMs whose players are in the know on new releases - with the additional villain who might only be known to Realms officiandos it allows there to be an added layer of mystery. Some of the interactions here could disrupt some of the faction quests, so be aware of that when running it and make changes appropriately. Overall, my players had a great time running though it - well done James!

Finished this last night with my group - very entertaining. Players loved to see all of the handouts and even solved first cypher before having the wheel (which I did construct - nice prop!). Great intro to the intrigue in Waterdeep, though the "private eye" tone might not be for every party (easy enough to adjust though). Small gripe is that the denouement is a little underwhelming if the clues have all been brought together and the protagonists convinced - need to move on to the bonus encounter quickly. That encounter also needed the assistance of all the supporting npcs in order for the party to be victorious in my game. Will add more background and interactions to play with if you plan to move on to Dragon Heist. Recommended!

Plague of Dreams is a beginner level adventure for Arcana Evolved (or Arcana Unearthed) characters. It is mainly set in the town of Gahanis and in the fortress nearby called the Battlehome. The characters will encounter a mix of wilderness, town and dungeon encounters.

Todd Secord, James Bell and Monte Cook have done a great job of expanding the concepts introduced in Monte's background in the core books concerning the town of Gahanis and some of the interesting characters found there and turning it into an excellent introduction to the Diamond Throne setting. It's a great resource for the detail on Gahanis alone.

One small nitpick I have is that the layout of the Battlehome fortress can become very confusing and so maps with additional elevations would have been helpful, but the realisation of the fortress in the logic of the war with the dramojh was first class and certianly got my characters thinking.

With tasks, puzzles and interactions to suit every type of character, each will have their moment to shine in this scenario. It will also neatly tie into the Siege on Ebonring Keep adventure (from Mystic Eye Games) which begins just to the north of Gahanis.

Very good entry-level city based adventure. It has a fair amount of PC investigation involved, so make sure your players are in to that sort of play. Glad to see it available again. Note that there is also a conversion to the Arcana Unearthed setting over at www.diamondthrone.com.
