This was the first module I ran for my 5e group. Great mix of sword and sorcery and Lovecraftian horror.

My only reservation is that the bit where the PCs get thrown overboard and caught in a current is way underwritten. (I ended up simplifying it but as written it basically says "make up a bunch of cool stuff here.")

Nonetheless a great module and would gladly run again with a new group.

This adventure fills two much needed voids in the current 5e universe: a short adventure module instead of a long campaign book, and quality sword and sorcery rather than vanilla fantasy.

I can't wait for the other adventures!

Love the adventure. Conjures up that pulp Swords and Sorcery vibe of Moorcock, Lieber and Howard amongst others. The art really helps too. Really enjoyed reading it and look forward to running it after the summer.

Shane Ivey is creating a unique setting which can be used/ cannibalised or discarded when using these modules. The Broken Empire setting which reminded me of the Elric! rpg and books. An evil empire which consorted with demons was overthrown…. 'civilisation' has imploded…. Creating a classic 'Points of Light' setting….. but with lots of nasty S&S adventuring sites laden with loot but full of peril.

Players are immediately thrown into the action. A storm hits their boat. When they get to the island, everything is very weird. Art very 1970s pulp S&S feel. The PCs delve into the temple in the rock…. Can they survive physically…. As well as spiritually?

I LOVE this adventure! Engaging plot, gorgeous art, and a atmosphere that is uniquely Arc Dream. I'm looking forward to running it!
