They really need to get someone who knows the 3.5 rules to check the stat blocks, especially on a module so combat focused. First goblin in there contains two major errors. First the mw Greataxe does 1d8+1 damage where as a small Greataxe should do 1d10, and the mw composite shortbow does 1d6+1, but a small one should do 1d4.
I see someone else caught some of those errors.
The drow wizard is listed as a CR 6 when he should probably be a CR 5 (wizard 4 levels + 1 for drow CR).
The CR on the monsters is supposed t obe lowered one to account for their poor equipment but they have a bit of masterwork stuff and even some magic items!
I've run the first two maps so far and was annoyed by a few things.
1. The dwarf set up. No names are provided for any dwarves who might be doing the hiring. In addition, unless I glossed over it, no guidelines on how much treasure the dwarves would offer the players is provided.
2. The description of the rooms/monsters. Sometimes there is an elaborate description except for the thing getting ready to eat your face! Second thing is that for some monsters that they included in the book for stats, they provide NO description at all. Bad WoTC! No cookie for you. I was looking at the Draegoth and wondering... is that the thing from Lords of Darkness? Gee, wish I had that book with me now!
3. The selection of miniatures includes material from the very first set, as well as from a set that's not even out yet! Argh!
The important thing though is that the group is enjoying it.
