I ran this adventure as my first time DMing ( and most of my players first time playing ) and we really enjoyed it. The structure of the adventure made it easy for me to explain some mechanics before the big finale and the villain clock made for a really good cliffhanger to get my players excited for the second session. I added an additional encounter on their way back so the second session wouldn't feel so empty.

This adventure is a really neat dungeon crawl. On the one had, it is "beer and pretzel" but on the other hand, it is not your average dungeon. I like the weird characters you meet for example. Also, there is a villain clock which adds some nice dynamics. This adventure is ideal for a one shot eveneing.

The dungeon maps have a nice retro feel to them and the cover is just awesome. There is also a lot of balancing suggestions as well as roleplaying advice.

What I liked the least is that there are no booksmarks which is probably OK for a 10 pager. Also there are one or two spots where the module is unclear. Still, no show stoppers.

Disclosure: I was one of the playtesters for this module and I know the author.

TLDR: A nice level 4 one-shot with solid, straightfoward play and good presentation.

The Good:

Straightforward narrative with defined encounter zones. Statblocks are included in the text as-needed next to their respective encounters.

The art and layout are great (Homebrewery)? The artist who provided the color pieces has talent and makes for great cover and splash-page art. The creator provided some of their own pieces, which is always a boost.

A lot of care went into providing background and DM guidelines, including creative story rewards. Simple maps are provided as separate handouts and are included in the document, as well.

The Bad:

Not much. A few mix-ups (refers to an NPC 'Nib'Nib' as a goblin when they're a kobold) or minor errors here and there.

The narrow level requirement (4th level only) limits who can run the adventure--I've gotten a lot of consistent advice to broaden the level ranges to standard 1-4, 5-10, etc for broader appeal.

Summary:

A fun 4th-level adventure that delivers as promised. Worth checking out and incorporating where possible, or running independently.
