I've always kind of assumed these walkthroughs were made up by the artist and not actually adventure reports from a tabletop, but if that is true this one is kind of lazy. Funny, yes, but it tells us next to nothing about the module.

EDIT: Not incredibly lazy, but kind of lazy. The amount of effort that goes into the artwork in these things is obvious, and that is appreciated. I would just have liked some more descriptive detail.

visually, its there. Tons of stuff.

If you look at, say, the Ravenloft map, I think he had more to work with in terms of setting up the story line and twists and turns for the adventurers.

Plus, I think he's doing two more of these.

Plus, plus, this could very well have been based on actual play.

Maybe if you're familiar with the content. I agree that the detail is very high, as usual, but I see a lot of visually distinct bipeds that could be any one of dozens of D&D monstrous humanoids or giants.

Plus, plus, this could very well have been based on actual play.

I might have run it a second time...

It says round 2 is coming on April 30:

"Check back this Wednesday, to see how the follow-up adventuring party fares in the steading! Can the save the failed first party?"

Ugh, I clearly failed my reading comprehension check. Complaint retracted, face red. Sorry, [MENTION=22260]TerraDave[/MENTION] , now I understand what you meant.

 

[TerraDave]

I also misread it! No reason for any blushing.

I thought they meant the frost giants.

I look forward to the rest of the story!

Loved it!

I'd say they should have sent a poet... but they clearly did.

I laughed at "Dwarf fighter blunts knives, bends forks, smashes bottles, burns corks, chips glasses and cracks plates."
