Message: <blockquote data-quote="trancejeremy" data-source="post: 2009350" data-attributes="member: 924">Pit of Loch-Duran is an adventure set in the world of Gothos, but is fairly adaptable to most fantasy worlds, and even with surprisingly little work, Deadlands d20. It can also fit into the Young Kingdoms/Elric/Stormbringer setting pretty well. It's 72 pages and priced at $11.95.  I paid $9 for it and Of Places Most Foul on ebay.The artwork ranges from the very good to the pretty awful. Though most is not really that bad, but a bit amateurish looking.  The maps all look computer generated, and aren't the easiest to read, but are far better than some I've seen (like in the first few FFE modules) and are more legible than the ones in WOTC products, since there is more contrast (All of those seem to make maps in color, then convert them to B&W when printed, which looks ugly and is hard to read)The adventure itself is fairly horrorific (is that even a word?) and somewhat linear. Basically, they're hired to rid a mine of a goblin infestation. (In Deadlands d20, which I used it in, I changed the goblins to bandits). However (some spoilers), that is just a ruse. While there are goblins, the party was actually lured in order to provide entertainment/sustenance to an evil demon lord by running around the mines, being scared (hopefully). It likes fear - and maybe eats it. In Deadlands d20, that actually works well, because that is exactly what the Reckoners do. Once in the mine, they're trapped. But are they? They stumble across the means to defeat the demon.  This was the only real problem I had with the module. Not only does this happen rather soon (right after they enter the mine), but it's a bit complicated (have to do something to the supports in the mine, but what to do to which?).Once out of the mine, the PCs presumably decide to take out the people who hired them (the mayors) and in the process, free the town of the evil. This is the fairly gruesome part, since one of the brothers liked to do horrible experiments on people. I liked this adventure a lot. No, it's not perfect. If you're a d20 stats perfectionist you'll have a fit. There are typos, layout problems, and grammar problems (For instance, on the first page it says "should of". While people sound like they are saying that, they are really saying "should 'ave", or "should have".  I'd probably give it a 3.5, but since I can't, and I did enjoy it, I'm rounding up.</blockquote>
