They're literally small - half a regular sheet of paper folded over, but they are about the total equivalent of a 9 or 10 normal sized page adventure. Thankfully, they're priced really cheap, at $2.50 (less on Ebay), so despite their short length, they're not a bad value - about on par with a 32 page adventure's pricing ($9 for 28-30 pages or so of an adventure).What I really like about this adventure in particular, is that is can be used by just about anyone. Basically, the premise is that the PCs are travelling to somewhere (at night time), and they get attacked by a mysterious beast.  After fighting it, at daybreak, they are shocked to discover that it was really a local farm boy.  Assuming that haven't killed him, he begs for them to take him home.So, the PCs go to the village, and there they discover that strange things are afoot. They must then solve the village's problem. Well, they don't have to, but if they are nice they will.The adventure isn't very long, but it requires a good mix of roleplaying (in particular, talking to various village folk and finding out what they know), problem solving (putting all the leads together) and a decent amount of combat (though not too much) to finish.Despite the short length, the author does a very good job of giving most of the village folk personalities. And the map of village can be used and reused for other small villages. The whole plot is also quite good - not the typical one, either (at least, why the villagers are being changed into monsters). I really enjoyed this adventure, and have incorporated the village into my ongoing campaign, so I think this really deserves a 5.</blockquote>
