(The exact same background is used, in colour, in "Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde", and works very well BTW.)Of the stat-blocks in the module, only one is accurate. Only one, and that despite a great many of the creatures being taken directly from the Monster Manual.The stat blocks also have nice neat rows of boxes for creature hit points, which is good... except that they've matched those by omitting the number of hit dice of the creatures entirely. Why does that matter, I hear you ask? Ask me again, the first time the Wizard casts his sleep spell.IIRC, the plot of the adventure struck me as rather uninspired (not really a fault in a beginner's module, to be fair), and the structure as overly linear (which I think is more of an issue, even for newbies).There may also have been more, but I try not to think overmuch about the products I don't like - I prefer to focus on the many excellent products Wizards do produce. (It's also possible that my opinion of this product was further soured by being at a revised higher price point. I don't mind paying the money... but when the first more expensive product is also very poor, that's a bitter pill to swallow.)</blockquote>
