This is a magical book filled with magical items that are not your standard D&D fare. The art and tales behind each item gives it a sense of being placed in the world that inspired them. It is authentic and unique in its presentation. If you want some items that 'feel' different from what's normally on offer in D&D books, check this out. You will not be disappointed.

I really enjoy the originality and the process that went into this product. The layout is easy to follow and the flow makes creating a sentient weapon character engaging. Each origin option makes a weapon unique beyond the type of weapon you choose. Spell options and bonuses means you are more than an inanimate object. If you’re looking for something really different to play and to liven up a campaign, this is a must have. While I can’t see an entire party being made of weapons, it would be ideal for two PC campaigns.

A nice package that does something different with the D&D combat formula. The feel and aesthetic shows a love of the inspiration material.

Pick up a copy if you're looking for something musically influenced.

I recently used this for a party of 6 level 6 characters. Yes, a TPK would have been easy. I had them encounter her away from the hut and skull and it was still brutal. Best to give your players an opportunity to run when they realise they have encountered something truly dangerous.

You definitely get your money worth. The stat block and new spells made combat dynamic and interesting for the DM and players. I had to pull punches to make the fight 'fair' and I will be bringing her back to stalk the players across the plains.

I just ran this as part of a Curse of Strahd campaign for a group of 6 level 5 characters. The theme of this adventure fits perfectly into the world that has been built for the players. The blood magic and bloodhulks make perfect sense in a world ruled by a vampire. A vital component of one-shot adventures as plug-ins for a larger campaign is the power for the DM to alter aspects of the adventure to fit their narrative. The open-ended aspect of this adventure made that very easy and I was able to use most of the adventure 'as written' and make it part of the ongoing campaign.

The adventure is well formatted, and the artwork is evocative. I highly recommend it for any group looking for a dark/horror themed adventure. I do have some feedback for updates or future products with the same theme:

• The text needs some editorial work for grammar

• The art is great, but there is one piece missing, the Crimson Order Symbol as a standalone piece. I would have loved to be able to show my players the symbol.

• Consider placing the tagged map on a page by itself so it can be kept separately from the adventure book. The separate files are appreciated, but then it can be done in one print.

• Place simplified stat blocks on the same page as each encounter. It saves having to flick back and forth to look up creatures. This is especially useful when the creatures are homebrew.

• The piercing and slashing vulnerability of creatures, while thematic, makes them too easy to be defeated and reduces the threat. (I ignored this after the first encounter, and it made the creatures feel more like the stated CR level).

Overall, great work and I look forward to seeing the next instalment.

Interesting little spell with a fun origin story. There needs to be some clarification on the mechanics. I.e rolling the d4 when cast and duration, does it 'attract' instantly or next round? Does the DM or player choose the creatures? I love the concept and have a Druid that would definately use this!

I ran this as part of my CoS campaign and it was a hit. Well paced and spooky atmosphere. The only things I changed was upgrading Adrianna to a Banshee and having the servants more 'demonic'. Th eonly hitch was the players who spoke Elvish not knowing how to open the final box. Eventually, it got tossed into the lake, never to be seen again... Until the PCs come across Elloise Avrigard, who has been training to slay her demon.

Need to fill in a session, or just want to do something crazy? This is the most fun you can have without being arrested. I ran this to fill in a campaign session that had players missing. Let's just say that the players who missed out are extremely jealous. If you want to know what you'll get, just look at the cover. It's a simple,, no frills, straight to the action adventure that will put those level 20s through their paces.

Bring a mop!
