Another solid Skirmisher product!
As you may expect, the Kobold Lair comes with a map so even if, for whatever reason, you did not want to run the adventure as is you have a nice map for starters. And it IS a nice map, it is clear and sharp, the usual quality Skirmisher produce. Also, and I wish more companies would do this, there are two versions of the map - one for players and a different/fully detailed one for the DM. I cannot tell you how frustrating it is when other notable companies come out with an adventure and the map has a huge spoiler (e.g. trap or secret door) that you cannot hide from the PCs without having to create your own map instead.
I like the General Features descriptions. With so many 5e products, even the official ones, they tend to skimp on content here and 'leave it up to the DM'. Skirmisher have intelligently thought of as many situations as would be reasonable to expect and given advice on how to run the encounter. In fact, whilst this product is for everyone of course, I would say it is of particular use to new DM's. After all, the foes are relatively low level, it would make a good entry level session. The stat blocks are nicely produced where you need them in an easy to use format. I will just add there are some great new creatures with new abilities and not give away more than that.
It's kind of difficult to say much more without spoiling the adventure but it was a great read, cannot wait to surprise my players with it. 24 pages of content for the price is very good quality, art is as fantastic as always.
