[QUOTE="sim-h, post: 7558053, member: 6813788"] The crunch is plain broken. I started a document and got to three pages of A4 relating to chapter 1 - I think I bulleted 18 issues with that chapter. But all were fixable. There are some parts that are just horribly confusing, such as the Blight at Dawn sidebar on page 491 which does not correlate to the map in relation to the direction the players are supposed to be coming from. Worse is in the later chapters. There is an extreme railroad in a couple of places where it is very difficult to miss the single, tiny clue to the next portion (L4, part three for example. Also I think L1 to L2 relies on the players following up one specific lead or the entire adventure falls down). L6 starts very jarringly, basically railroading the players into that chapter - some DMs might not mind that, but it's not really my style. Worse still in L6, significant parts of the plot as written rely on Vampire Spawn abilities which are only found in the Pathfinder Vampire Spawn. The D&D 5e Vampire Spawn is an entirely different beast. So you either need to change the plot significantly, or, much more likely, convert the Pathfinder Vampire Spawn yourself. I lost all confidence in the conversion when I realised that, and didn't go on to read the chapters after L6. I call it 'Vampirespawn-gate' and it's the reason I will never buy another Frog God product. In short - If I want to spend hours and hours working on a D&D adventure, I'll write my own instead!
