This is a collection of straightforward aventure with hooks. Each has a modular three-act structure and ample room for improvisation. I ran "Alluring Mesas" and it easily stretched over 4 two-hour sessions; your mileage may vary. XP is calculated to include the major threats and goals. If playing milestone, I would award a milestone for the conclusion of the adventure in most cases, assuming you are running it for at-level PCs.

There are several settings, such as the Magmaforge Outpost, that present enough content to base an entire arc on. The included sublcasses are okay but don't relly present anything to entice players away from the increasingly overpowered subclasses of official 5e. A nature-focused wizard and a wild shaping monk, as well as a trap-making mechanic, do fit the theme of expeditions.

The biggest downside is that the maps in the PDF are no better suited for a VTT that those in the printed book. I can only recommend them for theater of the mind or sketching out on a hex or grid. My players are very tactical and there are precious few maps here that are even worth the effort needed to adapt for that style of play. The "handouts" would ahve also benefited form digitalization separate from the PDF.

I think these adventures are best suited for a group whose table prefers to imagine the details themselves. Overall, it's is a good product that addresses all three pillars of role-playing.

Okay, honest review of Crit Academy’s Extraordinary Expeditions, I like it overall. The adventures are described well enough that a DM has plenty of room to improvise and give a great rundown for an adventure. The new class additions are well thought out and will make fun additions to what players can pick from. The new ranger looks like it might be fun with its new traps. The only issue I have is one of the adventures give a red dragon egg as an option to the players, but that is just my gripe. I would defiantly say any DM should add this to their collection!
