:CLAP, CLAP, CLAP: What an refreshing compilation of adventures! I don't want to get too long-winded here but I will say that having the Moonshaes Regional Guide read helped me enjoy the adventures here a bit more. I really enjoyed the Story Awards and how they were just that-story aides for the players and DM. In a somewhat newer campaign location that will be important because players and DMs are still digesting the campaign locatino and may not have alot of nowledge of the Moonshaes. I liked how there were some consoldiated mechanics that will help cut through some of the more monotonous checks (examples, 'Find the Pearl' in "The Axe Aflame", and 'Running the Checks' of "Thar Be Pirates". I liked that is "A Weighty Manner" there was a little cultural blurb about village names that just gives DMs a Snippet of content similar to that gfound in the Regional Guide. I also enjoyed that in "Thar Be Pirates" that there were DM recommendations to make major plot points more digestible by givng players ownership in how they happen. I'm not much of an optics guy, but I will say that the maps should be appealing to alot of my peers. I am looking forward to running a few of these this weekend at SCROOGECON 2018 in Lincoln! Good Gaming and Well Done to all! DM's looking for one-shot, well-written content, pick this up!

I like the premise of the adventure. I do not feel that the adventure would last four hours. The material presented here requires a DM to provide alot of fiat to make the adventure reach it projected time limit. It can be done though. I felt that there could have been a NPC summary somewhere to describe the NPCs. DMs may find themselves having to add a little here to give the players a bit more role-playing interaction. I will say that the boxed text was enjoyable, especially 'The White Lady' boxed text. Overall, this module provides the framework for a decent adventure. Where it lacks could be filled in fairly quickly with preparation. It does have elements of combat and socializing, which make it worth a purchase.

I have run this module twice since it was made legal for Adventurer's League play. My players enjoy it immenesly! One thing that I liked about it is that you are presented the adjustments to the encounters at the beginning of the modules, so if a DM picks this up and needs to quick start, you already have an idea as to what you can add in thematically without having to slow down the game to do it later. I really enjoyed the supporting artwork of Will Doyle. You have just enough of the city to be able to present the module.

This adventure's protagonists were freaking awesome! While my plyers did not get to enjoy the plague doctor or rat king variants, I did have one player take the detective background and he loved it!

Great story! Great presentation. There's good balalnce of interaction, combat, and investigation.

Rob,

I have reached out to you personally, but I wanted to leave this review. This mod may be one of my favorite Tier Two module. The story was great! The NPCs were great. I like that you touch on cultural diversity with the Finklesteins and Abby. I am a narrative and voice actor DM so I enjoyed portraying Abby's character in that way.

I think the players got the most excitement at the end of hte module when they .. well they discover the main big baddy and some stories conclusion. It left the characters in a morale dilemma, and allows the DM some flexibility in presenting it. I actually had one of my players, a paladin (of Mystra) intervene on behalf of Abby at the end!

I could run this module over and over and not tire of it.

Great Product. It will be in my back pocket for pickup games at every con I travel to in the future.

Ma'at,

I really get the sense that there may have been something spiritual going on as your muse for this module. At least with Emudomier and the Peacstone and Peacesmiths. It seems that their tenets were closely associated to some aspects of Buddhism. I had to move away from some of this because my players were losing interest. But I loved the vague associations in your descriptive about the NPCs and the creatures. The font was made it easy to read, but the artwork.. wow, you certain ly get people's attention with it! I was distracted by it because my eyes would wander towards your illustration when I was trying to present your narratives! LOL! I liked the lava shoes .. that was an unique touch on what would be comsidered mundane in other presentations. The players told me that it was trippy and felt weird ... knocking their imagination stereotypes off keel.

This module stands out for me because of its culturally diverse narrative and NPCs. It was tough to present, but I hope in future efforts I am able to truly capture what it is you have placed in this module.

I absolutely thought the supplemental guide was great! For a DM to be able to lay the map pages out without worrying about a grid allows for easy optics. I also liked that you made some of the handouts optional. When and Where is this Bleeding Gate Con?

Best of Luck in your future products.

Resp.
