[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 9104634, member: 25818"] I feel the Playtest adventures at the tail end of the D&D Encounters program are too often forgotten. They're not on the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_adventures']Wikipedia list[/URL] of D&D adventures, for instance, under either 4E or 5E. A lot of people have never seen them. And that's a shame, because the [I]Murder in Baldur's Gate[/I] module was EXCELLENT. The Dungeon's Master review of the Season can be found [URL='https://dungeonsmaster.com/2013/08/dd-encounters-murder-in-baldurs-gate-preview/']here[/URL] (link goes to the Preview page; I highly recommend you avoid the spoilers in the rest of the posts unless you intend to run.) In rereading it, I'm highly amused about the comment that the materials provided are lacking: you only got a DM's screen and two staple-bound books on glossy paper (a 32-page adventure book & a 64-page setting book) for your $35. It's a let down at ¢36 a page! Of course, now people pay $60 for a hardcover book of 200 pages, a value of ¢30 a page without a screen, a real value! The scenario is really well done, and I say that as someone who didn't play the original [I]Baldur's Gate[/I] computer games (there are a ton of Easter eggs in here for them) and doesn't really care for the Forgotten Realms. But it's just that good. [IMG]https://dungeonsmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/encounters-15-full-kit.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
