Willie Walsh goes full Oirish on us in this lighthearted tale of feuding halflings beset by mischievous leprechauns. The PC's are hired by the aforementioned Huddle family, who disturbed a leprechaun living on their land, and are now regularly waking up to all sorts of silliness done to their property. They suspect their neighbours, which is of course causing further problems with their accusations and retaliations against the wrong target. Will the PC's be smart enough to catch the real culprit, and will they be able to convince their employers to believe them and make amends? You know, if you're going to do a mystery-based adventure, you really shouldn't spoil the solution on the cover. I guess that like the index, that's an editorial error rather than one on the writer's part, but it still makes this one a lot easier than it would be otherwise, as there's not many adventures where the PC's are employed by halflings, so it's more likely to trip the memory of any well-read players. You may want to reskin the details a little if you actually use it to throw your players off the scent. Basic organisational problems aside, it's still an entertaining read packed with little details, another of those adventures that's useful as a bit of worldbuiding to come back too between dungeon delves, not just passed through once and cleared out. Until you can live entirely on conjured food and sleep in extradimensional mansions, you're always going to want to maintain a good relationship with the people who keep you fed and supplied. Giving them fleshed out personalities and histories definitely doesn't hurt your game. With a definite spike in wackiness as well as some weak editorial choices, this is one the issues I've found least usable so far. It still makes for interesting reading, but it's definitely aimed at a younger, more lighthearted audience rather than long-term players. I guess that's one of the drawbacks of the 2e code of conduct and general editorial policy. Oh well, they still managed to produce plenty of cool stuff in the 90's despite it. Let's see what direction next issue will go in, and if there'll be anything pushing the envelope in there.</blockquote>
