Fantastic Adventure. My Characters had previously played "Lich Queen's Begotten" and had claimed the Titan's End ship as their Spelljammer (It's a large head, that was severed from a mechanical Titan eons ago). They've been asking to find other Titan parts to "Voltron it Up", and by serendipity I found this module, which worked perfectly!

5 of my Players had also previously played in my Dragon Heist campaign so they loved the callbacks, and in the end went and found their retired characters in Trollskull alley for a drink. Players had a fanatastic time, it was a lot of silly fun, which they needed as a break in the larger campaign.

Thanks for meeting all of our parties needs and giving us a great experience.

Some constructive cricism/caveats for buyers:

1) The scale in this one is huge. If you aren't using a VTT and are playing in person, then accounting for minis, battlemaps, and just the sheer size of everything compared to your character's miniatures will be daunting (the final battle has essentially ship-to-ship combat and indvidual combat happening at the same time on a rather large map). Be sure to prep accordingly and figure out logisitically how to run it. We had to handwave a lot of size issues like how everyone can start the combat in the Mega-Statue, but have it's base small enough to practical at the table, etc.)

2) If you really want to get the most out of these encounters, there is no way it runs in 4 hours. In the end we took approximately 9 hours, 3 of those for the final fight. Granted my players tend to noodle around a bit, but with all the moving pieces, be prepared to either trunacte a lot or allow for extra time. (My players had no problmes with this, but if you are in a time constraint scenario like a convention or game store, be aware that it may not fit nicely into the 4 hour slot).

So, first things first: Make sure to spend extra time when you prep this. It's complicated and if you're doing it on a VTT, you'll want to make sure you have a stategy for all of the various moving pieces. If you've run Waterdeep: Dragon Heist before (or even played it), you'll get some additional benefits from that. Maybe flip through that book, or ... you know, maybe wing it. :) It's your game.

But it's worth it. It totally fits the theme, you've got some definite giant statue combat going on, you've got amazing callbacks to other NPCs, you've got opportunity for your PCs to look like absolute AWESOME HEROES.

I prepped this adventure the evening before, but I ended up staying up just a little longer, and then just a little longer still to do one more thing to make it run smooth. And... well, it did.

The players enjoyed it, everyone had a blast, and weirdly enough, despite not knowing what characters people were bringing, it tied 100% perfectly to a character that had played some season 8 adventures with me and had a PERSONAL ATTACHMENT to the NPCs at the end. (I mean, all of the NPCs at the end, yes, even that one. What an amazing little fun coincidental thing.)

But I was VERY nervous before. It's tier 3, which is always tricky because tier3 is filled with all sorts of challenges. It felt like the author helped me with that, the encounters were set up in a way that made the tier3 party respond to challenges instead of ending each encounter with the perfect counter.

The social bits felt like I had enough information to run them, and given the additional details I remembered, I had a blast roleplaying them out.

But yeah, went from nervous before the game, to everyone having a great time, leaving happy, and thinking "You know, next time, I think I've got it."

I'm going to have to schedule Lonesome Grub (the author's other adventure) for our group now. :)

disclaimer: I was a playtester.

This adventure is just phenomenal! It pays homage to various events from Waterdeep Dragon Heist and it has a very sandbox pick your own path kind of feel. Each of the events involves different pillars of play and the combat is super exciting and worth of a T3 adventure.
