Excellent adventure. Was really fun, and you'll especially like it as a fan of Sweeney Todd. I enjoyed the different sides of the main enemy. At night a different person vs day. Would play again for my group!

It is fun little adventure and I enjoyed it quite a lot.

This was a fun idea for a one-shot, however as a new DM I found it difficult to keep the story moving with all of the different things that the paty found, with the dyes, the prismatic color machine, ect. My opinion was that it was too complex for a one shot. If I were to run this again, I am going to cut down the amount of items that are available for the party to find.

A weird but fun little adventure that makes great use of the fey monsters and lore from Volo's Guide to Monsters. Also includes a bunch of equally weird-but-fun new magic items throughout. A well-designed adventure that would be a good choice for a one-shot... and best of all, it's free!

Loved it! This is right up my alley - an amusing mini quest based on obscure lore. Some quality of life notes though - a table of contents would be good, as would adding hyperlinks to forgotten realms for e.g. the Korred and Flail Snail for those of us who haven't heard of them before.

I liked it a lot. My 3 level 5 PCs had a fun time with it. I think they spent more time going around gathering gossip than they actually did investigating the shop/under the shop. Any DM that's decent with improv and coming up with townspeople on the spot should have fun with this!

A silly adventure need not be a poorly made one, as evidenced by The Barber of Silverymoon. Sure, it involves medieval barbers and Barber of Seville/Sweeney Todd nods and random haircuts and living hair, but it's also a super fun, super well done adventure with a ton of cool NPCs, investigative elements, and action. I loved it!

The basic premise is that people are disappearing or becoming mysteriously altered in the town of Silverymoon. Behind it is an annis hag named Errevastica, who has laid her hands on a barber named Jooge and a korred named Bezoar to create living hair creatures and run this whole, super impressive criminal underground type thing. The adventurers are tasked with uncovering the mysterious disappearances in town, but in doing so, they'll find that they've bit off a more than they can chew and might just be permanently altered themselves!

As this brief summary can attest, this is a pretty complicated plot. You've got a bunch of backstory with Jooge and Bezoar, and you have Errevastica, who is herself disguised as a xvart (as well as a subplot with some darklings), and, at first glance, it can seem a bit confusing. However, the backstory is so well-written that it makes a lot of sense, and the adventure is also incredibly well-written, transforming complicated into smooth and linear. It is incredibly easy to run this adventure.

And, although a large chunk of this adventure could be reduced down to a simple dungeon crawl, it's much more interactive than a lot are. The subterranean layer has fun and helpful NPCs like Two Llamas Running, cool environments like the oil and pomade room, and, of course, the colorful yet devilish Prismatic Coloring Machine. My players were constantly surprised and delighted by what they found, and it was a truly memorable experience.

Honestly, it's difficult to find anything to criticize this adventure about. It was so well-written, interesting, well edited, well laid out, and fun. The maps (especially the extra top down one) were simple and easy to read. Perhaps the one thing to be aware of is that, if you're hoping for a gritty and grimdark adventure, this really won't fit. You also have to be prepared for the potentially permanent effects of the Prismatic Coloring Machine. But if you're looking for something whimsical yet fraught with consequences, this is a great adventure for you!

What a wild ride. Oodles of fey, and lots of goofy shenanigans. Bit too zany for my tastes, but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with it. It'd be nice to have a player-friendly map for VTTs, and I think the plot would be a little easier to run if it was more straightforward - there are a LOT of characters and layers involved for a short adventure), but it's overall good.

It is a really fun adventure! And I love the mockman map! Here are my 2 cents: 1) Players might not get the full experience, as they will most likely stop the evil barber before it can apply any of the fun stuff from the third level (hair color, monster teeth, hair driyer, etc). Maybe find a way to delay them a bit so at least the trapped character can experience the weird sheningans. 2) If players aren't curious, they won't even try the multiple "magic items" found here, as the grung colors or the prysmatic machine. 3) There should be a map file without the numbers, so you can use it on VTT. there isn't secret doors so it isn't that of a problem, but still weird to see the numbers on map. 4) Not a complain, but a suggestion to other DM, give inspiration to players that make hair puns!

The story is great, my players really liked it. Only thing is that, 4 5th leveled characters stormed through the most fun parts, including the barbers options with their hairs. It's not a problem with the module, only a heads up to fellow DM-s.

I ran this twice so far for two different groups, with an added city investigation arc at the start (to make it a two session adventure). The whole mad barber theme is hillarious and hits exactly my style of play. It has ridiculous scenarios, big reveals, memorable characters and unforgettable moments (a tabaxi barbarian rolls 8 on a d8 and ends up with essentially full mouth of shark's teeth!). You should run this. 5/5

I have run this adventure several times, both for grognards and newbies. Everyone loves it! I think it is actually the perfect intro one-shot:

• It's a little absurd, but still has epic moments of fantasy
• The encounters are built to combine social and combat at the same time, helping to show new players that those do not have be distinct experiences
• Serious players enjoy the very real danger, sillier players enjoy the sheer lunacy of the situation

One aspect that is great for newer DMs is that the layout/traps encourage the party to split up, but it's still easy to run thanks to the maps and room descriptions. Plus the reveal that Mops' imaginary friend is actually real gets a laugh every time.

I cannot recommend this adventure enough and am 100% confident you and your players will have a blast!
