Greger's Grotto is a great adventure for the starting DM or new player group. The designers have included multiple maps, numbered room descriptions, story hooks, and NPCs. The module also includes various tables to generate random encounters and conditions that affect the players/arena fights/overall story. Refrence pages to the three core rulebooks (i.e. PHB 149), cutting down on time needed to search for a monster.
I used this module as a starting place for a group of 4 players (2 experienced, 2 new to role-playing games). All of the players started with level one characters and had advanced to level three by the end of the adventure. Overall, the module felt well balanced for our group. The designers do include other ways to run the adventure for higher level characters, as well as alternative story ideas.
Overall, this adventure is well written and easy to run. Highly recommended.
