Excellent Tier 1 adventure! The package includes a ton of detail and additional guidance for new DMs or lazy DMs like myself. One of the harder aspects of DMing is improvising NPCs and environmental aspects on the fly, this module does a great job with detailing these issues.

The adventure itself is a nice mix of combat, party skills, and roleplay. The environmental immersion pushed the party to make decisions quickly and engage in the story. I appreciate the editor's story structure. There is a lot of detail in the adventure, and it was easy to find when I needed to reference it.

Overall, one of the better tier 1 mods that I have run. The final "dungeon" has a lot of cool and unique mechanics. I'm hoping there will be more in the series!

Just started the Dragon Heist hardcover with the new season 8 rules and there are numerous problems. First, the gold issue. It is unbelievable that the new gold rules coincide with the release of the Waterdeep book. The whole premise of the adventure is finding a vault full of GOLD! Not to mention that the biggest incentive for most missions is based on gold rewards. Does the AL Admin expect me to rewrite the entire hardcover on the fly? Seriously, this was a terrible decision.

Our table talked about the problem and decided to implement a party gold rule to try and remain AL legal. Party gold will be received and tracked by the DM and used for hardcover purchases, but cannot be logged on character sheets or used in other mods. Is this legal? I don't know, but at this point I don't care.

Second, the magic item problem. Congratulations, you found a magic paper bird on a desk. The party says, "Great, let's use it to message the Zhent boss." Errr no sorry you can't. You just unlocked the bird, you'll have to wait until the end of next session and spend 8 treasure points to use one. The party says, "Don't bother, it's not worth it." This is a problem. With the new rules, weaker magic items will rarely be used. Thanks for killing diversity.

This entire overhaul should have been play tested. The new rules combined with the incompetent release has me questioning whether to continue with AL.
