A Dragon Warriors dungeon crawl. Well crafted: the backstory is rich enough to be interesting without suffocating detail; varied encounters, some challenging combats, opportunities for intelligent play; the descriptions maintain a tense atmosphere; the dungeon reforms at various points in the adventure, which works well in the programmed paragraphs format; there are chances to settle for a lesser victory if struggling.

Your character is accompanied by the scholar Brother Cuthbert, who looks much like Derek Jacobi.

Accurately written, with working links. Two minor typos spotted: entry 119, 8 lines from end, "diverse" instead of "divers"; entry 130, penultimate sentence, "many" not "man".

In six (!) plays, two complete victories, and an escape.

Highly recommended.

This solo adventure, which uses the Dragon Warriors rules and is set somewhere in the north of Ellesland, is essentially a large dungeon that you get to explore.

The setting is atmospheric and the sense of dread increasingly palpable but, unlike many ‘solo’ adventures, there are several different ways of completing the adventure with varying degrees of success (and several different ways to fail and die, of course). The adventure offers a glimpse into the ancient history of this part of Legend (and the author even uses the odd archaic title – like “ambactus” – to set the scene).

At 137 pages (including covers) and 280 encounters, this book ranks alongside others that you would usually pay for – yet Red Ruin offers it for FREE. Bargain!
