This module provides a small, fun adventure that can serve as a starting adventure. There is not a realy precedent for combat so RP takes the spotlight. The adventures arrive in a small town were a festival is beign prepared. However the festival and the villagers have som ulterior motives. I shall phrase my review in a few bullet points. Good parts: -At the start a small explanation/backstory is given, it provides enough information. -The different segments of the module are color coded. -Some NPC's are provided, including quotes, flaws, ideals etc. -The festival provides several different activities such as wrestling or dancing. DC's are provided were neccerary. -The writing is good and functional but not outstanding. -The writer provides several options, depending on the choices the players make.

Parts that can be improved: -Personaly (others might disagree) I think the color scheme and formatting used is very ugly. -It misses some form of summary or mindmap that a DM can use to make more sense of the progression and possibilities. -Some more/other activities or mysterious NPC's would be nice. -There is no map or overview of the town.

Other note: -This type of adventure might not be for everyone, it is lighthearted almost childish with no real possibilty for combat. This is neither a negative or good part but it is worth mentioning.

Thanks for your review Roel. I think all of your comments and criticisms are fair. At the moment I will not be making any changes to the adventure, because I am working on a second follow up adventure. I'll be using the advice you gave in this review to make that adventure better. When that is completed I'll take your advice under consideration and re-format the layout and text boxes as well as provide a little more detail to the town, including a physical map and a description to help the DM build a mind map. Thank you for the other note as well, I will be editing my description soon to include a... warning I guess, that this adventure is a departure from regular D&D sessions. Again, thank you for the review, you've helped a lot. Keep adventuring!
