Don't touch anything, especially if it's purple!C1 - Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan (B) - Has a great atmosphere of exploring ruins. The DM that ran this adjusted a lot of the traps.G1/3 - Against the Giants (INC) - We started this but had serious balance problems.  Number and CR of monsters was way too hard for the PC level.  I1 - Dwellers of the Forbidden City (C) - Cool idea, but kind of a ho-hum adventure.  L1 - Secret of Bone Hill (A) - Another great wilderness/dungeon blend.  We had a great time with this.L2 - Assassin's Knot (B) - Fun and wholly different for the 3/4e folks.  As noted earlier, too easy to work out the bad guys with 5e rules.S4 - Lost Caverns of Tsojancth (B) - Liked it, but didn't love it.  Dungeon ecology was wonky - like it was a monster zoo, going room to room killing the next thing on the checklist instead of an actual place to explore  That soured it for a couple of us.U1 - Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh (A+) - Perfect starting module.  U2 - Danger of Dunwater (A) - Another great little starting module.  Sailor background is actually useful!U3 - The Final Enemies (B) - Fun, fun, fun.  We actual played the assault of the sauhagin fortress  instead of having it happen off-screen.UK1 - Beyond the Crystal Cave (C) - Liked the caves and garden, but kinda light-weight.  We ripped through it pretty easy.</blockquote>
