This was an absolute blast to play with my family, who had never played D&D before and didn't know what to expect. A lot of the ideas in here are charming, original, and incredibly fun! This festive romp will definitely make a lot of memories.

I think I would suggest seek a layout that's more intuitive and easy to run on the fly. There's a TON of information, and I was having to flip back and forth to figure out certain things or to find them. Jumping between Section II and Section III to find the same location was difficult, especially since there was no "Western" heading--both of them were labeled "Eastern" in the headings, which meant I spent several minutes flipping pages, halting the game, to figure out which section came next. SO many papers to flip through.

I also wasn't always sure what the party's goal was in each section. I knew the overall goal--get the officers--but I don't feel like the DM was given a lot of guidance on how to encourage their players to accomplish these goals. I would've liked clearer paths, because I ended up improv'ing a lot of my own.

The last fight was very fun. LOVE Santa's stat block and legendary actions.

I think that if the information was streamlined & clearer, this doc would be perfect. As it stands right now, it's a little hard to parse, which makes it difficult to run smoothly if you're going last-minute like I am. Spend a bit of time reading through it and you should be good to go. I recommend it for a great time.

Stunning art, copious amounts of variety and flavor, and the thought put into each stat block makes this an absolute wonderful purchase. It's even laid out by CR, which I adore. This is probably one of the best books a DM can have in their arsenal for stat blocks on the fly. There's a lot of inspiration here.

That being said, I wish the female characters were given the same treatment as the males. Lots of emphasis on their sexuality. Disappointing. It's nearly 2020. Where are our women in armor and sensible clothes?

This is one of the most comprehensive adventures I've downloaded so far, which has me thrilled. There is so much information here, and it's so clear that the author has the DM in mind in terms of information, layout, and details. The encounters and stat blocks are cool, the details of each room are a godsend, and the characters are easy to jump into because we're given so much information. Even the layout flows fairly well, which is difficult to do with so MUCH information.

Huge props. This is an excellent adventure and one that can be easily laid into most campaigns.

What I particularly like about this adventure is that it's clear, well laid out, and explores a lot of the different outcomes, many of which come up later. The characters are easy to run with all of the information available, and there's a lot of fun flavor here that a DM could really dig into.

Any feedback I have is primarily personal taste, but I think I was hoping that the mermaid, Oshanda, played a larger part. Since it's called "The Mermaid's Errand," I was expecting Oshanda to be more central to the plot, and was somewhat disappointed when we only see her briefly at the end.

Because Oshanda is so absent, I think the encounters feel somewhat random, even though I know they aren't. It's interesting, I go back and forth. I love the information on Loki and the Green Thieves, but it's one of those things where, again, I almost expected it to be a little more nautically themed and was surprised when it wasn't. I don't necessarily know that I would recommend changing them, but I did want to mention that they feel somewhat disjointed.

Since Gerard is one of the few important characters and he owns a magic item shop, I would also love to see either more suggested magical items that he sells or perhaps a couple of unique, nautical-themed magic items. While the DM can definitely populate the magic shop themselves, it might be useful to aid them, especially since Gerard is so vital to the story. It's not necessary, but that extra flavor would be great.

At the end of the day, I think I'm mostly asking for more, which is a good thing. I love this adventure, I love the area, I love the puzzle, and my only critiques are that I like it so much that I want more of it. More flavored enounters, more flavor and details, and more Oshanda. That being said, I do like what I have, and this is so easy and intuitive to run. Very happy about that. Great work for a fun little coastal romp.

This was a fantastic, creepy adventure. It had a lot of chilling, unique ideas, a logical flow, and a great build to the climax. I ran it with little preparation for a group that had never played D&D before, and they had so much fun that they asked me to run more adventures for them in the future. If you're a Poe fan or a horror fan in general, highly recommend!
