The story was touching and sensitive, and the mechanics of defeating Aery's emotions were excellent. While encouraging players to talk it out in theme with the module, it also allows them to choose violence. I would advise running it however with a party that prefers roleplay over combat, or else you might run into a situation where you just murder Aery's emotions. The part where the DM is given freedom to delve into the character's backstories has plenty of potential for amazing storytelling, if you would like to take the time to work with your players' backstories. Overall, great module.

Read and run for my friends and I enjoyed: 1) that the encounter design made for players to have to observe / read the situation / think truly about how they were going to approach things 2) that there were many possible outcomes that hinged on player choices in the adventure, and how well they did during certain parts (setbacks in a T1 is great since were typically only see setback mechanics in T3 and T4)

My advice to those running it: there is a part in the adventure that calls on the players to recall memories about their characters. Use it as a device to help the player develop the character's backstory as the questions can be challenging and run into sensitive content if poorly handled. Make sure that the player is thinking about the events as their character's rather than their own and you should be fine. It's an excellent encounter if ran properly.

Great module!

100% Recommend this module! The first time i read this module i cried tears, it made me extremely emotional. This module has all the hallmarks of a classic. Dear Aery is just a lovely module to run - my players had so much fun and really resonated with the main NPC, defeating the terrifying monster in this campaign literally by "RICK ROLLING" and singing.

A lovely mix of adventuring lore is built into the backstory of this module that gives the module great emotional weight and Aery feels like a fully fleshed out character and PC interaction with her really builds both tension and empathy.

An amazing mix of social, combat and exploration in the Domain of Memories. NJ Lee took full advantage to create creative ways to defeat or resolve conflict and combat in this module. The ways and methods are both appropriate and emotionally related to the deeper story. An ingenious way to defeat powerful CR enemies way beyond the normal scope of Tier 1 module. These powerful monsters did not feel out of place or too powerful and fit perfectly with the narrative presented.

As a fellow writer of stories and AL modules, i feel this module is one of the most beautiful modules written this season, it deserves to be a classic like A Meal to Remember or A Dragon's Breath, in my opinion.

Balanced use of all three pillars in creative ways, can be run well with the maps provided or i feel is a great module for ToTM.

Excited for the sequel. NJ LEE, i tip my fey hat to you sir bravo.
