DDAL07-13 Old Bones and Older Tomes
Publisher: D&D Adventurers League
by Jonathan E. [Verified Purchaser]

I ran this adventure for a group of three players, it ended up taking about 6 hours to finish - much longer than intended however I personally wasn't worrying about the time taken as it was at home.

I really enjoy many parts of this adventure, the different puzzles are a lot of fun with some slight modifications and it really scratches the exploration itch that a lot of adventures don't.

The major modifications for this I made were giving the puzzles more opportunities for feedback - the major issue was the crystal room. Without the clue found elsewhere in the adventure this becomes essentially a guessing game, with the clue it's a simple matter of following instructions. By giving my players feedback when they were getting closer to the correct configuration they were able to figure it out and feel accomplished.

The final fight can go either way, especially with three characters, so I would advise anyone running this adventure to be very careful with what spells are used by the BBEG - It can very easily be a tpk. Saying that, it can also very easily be a cakewalk so good luck!

At first glance looking at this archetype, I thought "This doesn't seem especialy useful."

However on review I relaised that in a certain type of game the Tragedian has the potential for a lot of fun. Specifically highly social or political games where you interact with potential enemies outside of combat. The key thing is being able to interact with a creature for a minute to get the benefits of Student of Soul's Condition. This ability is less useful in the context of dungeon crawls or fighting enemy types not on the list, however I believe the bard class itself will pick up some of the slack.

Certainly worth the suggested price, I will be adding this subclass to my stable of potential homebrew for my players to access.

The Dino racing is kind of fun I guess. However the betting section is weird - if there's a chance of multiple dinosaurs winning the race, why is it stated that there is only one race? Honestly this is more of an issue with the betting mechanic in ToA as a whole.

The plot hook is about how random no-nae racers are winning big but then the players enter as rando no-name racers and win...what was the point again? Maybe there should be more focus on how the dinosaurs are getting killed? Why are they being poisoned? We'll never know. Overall the Blade has fangs trilogy could do with the authors actually talking to each other so they can get their story straight.

DDAL07-04 A Walk in the Park (5e)

A Walk in the Park? No kidding. Last combat is less dangerous than the final combat in 7-1! There so little experience available to recieve that it's impossible to get more than the minimum experience with a party of four players!

The writing is weird too - does no-one check for continuity?

Seriously diappointed in the module with issues that playtesting should have picked up on.

DDAL07-05 Whispers in the Dark (5e)
Publisher: Wizards of the Coast
by Jonathan E. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/25/2017 15:28:20

Lots of good ideas here, however the opening puzzle is very poorly written, it feels like it was written out two or three times in different ways, resulting in a bit of a mess rather that a clear flow - activating the cetral obelisk activates the first step, which then activates the zombies etc.

The final battle require some careful DMing as it's very easy to one-hit KO a level four character with the special abilities. Also the invoke nightmare feature is essentially a death sentence on any character with a low INT save.

I really don't understand the Wadumu character. How has he duped the party exactly?

Honestly this isn't a favourite adventure. The entire crawl basically needs to be run in initiative due to the constant attacks by the kobolds, which ends up making ita slog.

This adventure has a lot of potential but is let down by some poor editing during the middle section with the traps. Works well if you run it following Beneath the Fetid Chelimber.

I've run this adventure three or four times and love it. Great low-level adventure for newbies or oldies alike. Helps having a working knowledge of Parnast from HotDQ.

Great dungeon crawl with plenty going on. The final boss encounter has the potential to be either incredibly easy or difficult depending on the party and how well you can remember its huge statblock.

This is a very combat orientated adventure with not a lot else going on. Would have liked to have seen some more skill challenges beyond getting lost in the swamp.

This is an excellent adventure, it has the potential to run long, so be aware of that when running the first encounters. The only major issue is running the "3rd" option, it can be very confusing on how it is supposed to work.

Loved runingthe adventure, however it is beyond deadly for a level 2 party, epecially if any level 1 characters are present. Many traps will outright kill anything lower than level 3.

The finale was quite confusing, it would have been good to include more details on the background of the dungeon as it isn't clear to the DM who, what and why was it built.
