The adventure couldn't be bothered to provide any monster stat blocks, or maps outside of the village pertinent to the adventure either, so I had to hunt these down.

Maybe but it would have been a pretty thin plot with little depth and extremely linear with the DM leading the players from point A to point B, and so on. I think a more fleshed out 1st level introductory adventure would have been better than the 5 outline adventures. I understand they were trying to promote the one-hour minimal adventure prep, for one game short sessions but this fell flat as there was more fleshing out required than I thought should have been required. My current impression is that the Greyhawk sample campaign setting, and the 5 mini scenarios could have been detailed more than they were. I liked the 1-page adventure premise, but the execution left something to be desired.</blockquote>
