These are great, low-prep adventures, easily able to fit into a single session (some can even be run in just a couple of hours if you really trim them back). I've started to run them as an alternative to our main campaign when we've got people missing, and the regulars are loving them (to the extent that I'm not entirely sure they want to go back to the main campaign!).

I ran a group of old hands through the first adventure a couple of weeks back using the Old School Essentials ruleset rather than fifth edition They all loved it, it made a great change of pace from epic adventures and heavily plotted adventure paths. Lovely just to drop the team into a sandbox with a murder mystery in progress and leave them to figure out how, when or where to get involved.

As with all one page adventures, you need to be willing to improvise and go with whatever seems fun fo your players, but this all adds to the enjoyment. Suffice to say, my ending was not one that was described in the text!

We all enjoyed it so much we are going to carry on with the other adventures in the book in the manner of an episodic campaign.

As a new DM, these adventures made it very easy to get in and get a feel for what I was doing. They are easy to fit into any world, and have all the information you need to use them. I highly recommend them, especially to someone trying to learn to DM and build a world.

I just started a group on Murder in Seaforth. Mostly new to D&D entirely. They were able to get stuck into the plot quickly and had a decent but not overwhelming number of options to investigate.

There is a lot to like about these adventures. Lots of information in a terse format with enough map to make it work. Even terms to make things easier for new players.

Well worth picking up to have solid adventures ready for one-offs and mini-campaigns, with the option to thread them together within the Verona Province setting.
