DDAL06-01 A Thousand Tiny Deaths (5e)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The promises of glory and the chance of riches draw you to Blasingdell, a small village near the infamous Stone Tooth.

Within the rocky mountain lay the dwarven stronghold Khundrukar and the fabled Forge of Fury, to which a chance encounter provides you with the location of a hitherto unknown entrance.

Are you brave enough to explore this mystery?

Will it lead to wealth or doom?

Really well-written and thought out, fun bad guys. But changing the scale sorcerer's/BBEG's spells and metamagic feats significantly ups the challenge. Vs. level 1s it's just absurd. Not needed.

So, I'm looking at printing out the map - yes, I know, there's a lot, however I draw slow and that would be a lot of maps to predraw (if I had that many). I noticed the warrens map is scaled to 1 square = 10 ft. If printing, it appears to have the squares scaled to use miniatures with 1 mini/square, which makes everyone 'large'. So, I guess itt would have to be printed at 200% size, and I'd have to figure out a way to add extra gridlines to make 5' squares as is the standard. Has anyone done this already and have some tips for me? Thanks in advance!

I could probably add a separate file that scales each square to 2 inches on a side. Dunno what the demand would be.

This is a fun module. It can be challenging for low level players, but it shows off how tricky kobolds can be. My advice is to really play up that kobolds aren't just funny(ier) looking goblins, they're oriented towards traps and misdirection, and at least some of the players should know that going in, unless they have a really unusual mix of backgrounds.

Ran this game twice now!

Pretty fun little module, and one of my personal favorites. Captures the feel of invading a kobold nest perfectly! The unique enemies, and the systems of how they patrol and defend their nest are pretty funny too!

Great, fun adventure.
Really simple setup, really simple to run, and the kobolds are hi-larious. My only wishlist item would be a map with better indication of where the traps are.

This was really fun adventurer that thoroughly enjoyed DMing, the hit and run tactics of the kobolds was very fun and the kobold inventors are always a fun foe to face.

I've only run this adventure once, and still haven't had a chance to play it AS a player. So as a DM, I have to agree with most of the reviews here: the difficulty can be a little crazy. I ran a newer group (mostly level 1, one player was lvl 3), and they bruned through most of the healing potions they brought just picking each other off the ground (there were smarter ways to do this, but, again, newer players). I would reccommend this module for groups that have run a couple modules before. Low level players, but with some experience. Can be a great lesson for new players though, that sometimes this game can be an unrelenting and unforgiving challenge.

tldr: Very real difficulty curve, but fighting Kobolds is a fun and classic D&D experience.

Looks like fun, hoping to run this soon!
Two questions:
1) What does "At the end of each round (losing ties) spent in the warren..." mean? (last paragraph, pg.5.)
2) Why is the stat block on the right side of pg. 14 included? I didn't see one in any encounter.

Great adventure. Players loved it. Good beginning adventure that can introduce kobolds and brings up a lot of opportunities to search for traps and problem solve. Maps are hard to figure out without some study so pre-read the adventure. Inventors make fun potions to attack characters with so my female player ended up professing her love to a kobold. Caltrops hidden in mud show cleverness of Kobolds.

This is a very good adventure. As written, it takes a lot of pulling-of-punches to not TPK a party of Level 1 and Level 2 characters.

This was the first adventure I ever ran as a DM as well as for AL. This is a fantastic intro to the game. It's short, sweet, and easy to understand. I ran this multiple times in season 6. It was my go-to adventure for new players. I highly recommend this adventure to more experienced DMs and new DMs alike. 5/5

This was fun to run for a group of 5 with 4 players new to D&D. It was well thought out and paced. Gave just enough of a hook for the new players to want to come back and play at my AL table again. Definitely and adventure I would run again.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
