[QUOTE="Archer, post: 2008384, member: 2950"] I'm going to take the middle ground between the other 2 reviews. I have to say this module is better than average but has enough editing mistakes to keep it from getting a superb rating. The first thing that I noticed was a lot of diction mistakes. There were many words (10+) that were that were obviously intended to be some other word (by=buy, stake=steak, etc). In one of the text boxes an entry (Firewine) is entirely repeated. I have a vague recollection of some other mistakes as well. A couple people in town have the same first name which was momentarily distracting but everyone has a last name too (how unusual for a module). Page 26 is completely blank. With an electronic document these things would be easy to fix but since it is free they don't exactly owe me anything. I don't think the boss monster's stat block is done quite right either. The next thing I noticed after the mistakes was how incredibly detailed the town (thorp) is. Every since person who lives there is accounted for and has a stat block (except for children under 16 who are only named). Most of the adventure text is about the people in the town. The town economy is explained in detail. I can't think of very much I would ever want to know about this town that isn't detailed in 15 or so pages. They go on to tell you how the town will grow in the future is it isn't wiped out in this adventure. This review is going to be spoiler free. I liked the overall plot of the adventure. It can be scaled up in difficulty but is rather simplistic so its best for newer players who won't feel its cliche. Established adventurers probably can't be bothered to interact with some lowly people in live in some Thorp which can't provide them with anything they don't already possess. If you don't interact with all these detailed people there isn't much point in doing this module at all. [/QUOTE]
