The Good:
The Great Turkey Chase is a fun and creative adventure that adds a whimsical twist to the table. The Thanksgiving theme was a hit with my group, and the quirky NPCs like Big Tom and Honey the Hedgehog kept everyone engaged. The encounters were designed well giving players plenty of chances to roleplay and solve problems. My group especially enjoyed the archery challenge with Nutters and the antics of the Gobbler Gang. The pacing felt just about right for a one shot wrapping up in a satisfying way without dragging. I'd say it took us about an hour and a half to complete. I did it as a quick, festive session with some friends that came over.
The Bad:
Some encounters, like the Gobbler Gang, were a little easy for experienced players. A few suggestions for adjusting the difficulty or handling player creativity would make the adventure more versatile. While my group enjoyed the humor, it might not land as well for tables with a different playstyle.
Overall:
This is a charming and accessible one shot, perfect for a holiday session. The creative challenges, memorable NPCs, and festive theme made it a great time for everyone at the table. I would recommend The Great Turkey Chase to any DM looking for an enjoyable, family friendly adventure. My group left the table smiling and already asking about the next one.
