    The River Queen (2011)

    by RC Pinnell PinHammer Publications Basic D&D for 5-9 characters of levels 2-4 This is a small wilderness area adventure that can probably be completed in one session. It has several touches of whimsy and classic fantasy which I really enjoyed, although the core villain fell flat for me. A...

    Fight On! #5 - Warrens of the Troglodytes

    he Tomb of Ixtandraz by Lee Barber 4th-6th Level Characters This is an interesting little dungeon. It doesn't have as much meat as I'd normally prefer, only 17 rooms or so. This is generally not enough to get something interesting going that can sustain play. This one though is a little...
