A bit different from what I am used to from the newer community modules, but a nice and easy module to run, with a lot of flexibility to choose and mix encounters.

I think this adventure has a good story and has some unique encounters that make it a good purchase. One thing I immediately noted was the need to omit the treasure bundles you recieve throughout the adventures for Season 8 AL compliance. Will the Adamantine Shirt be an unlock? DMs may want to determine the encounters before they run the adventure. I'm a big fan of Travis Woodall's maps! Was I the only one that got the feel of the "Oregon Trail" game by this cover? I would have liked to see some sort of dysentery event or resource draining event, but the random encounter tables add more than enough playability to this module to make it enjoyable. Good work by David Morris!

This ia a pretty fun adventure to run, there's good replayability and expandability with multiple possible encounters which is great! I enoyed the characters that were introduced and the idea behind the story is solid. Overall a goo adventure to run stand-alone and as part of the series.

I DMed this mod and combined it with the 2nd of the serie to make a 4 hours session. It worked very well. I loved to prepare it, giving choice of many encounters, making the mod replayable again and again. I made my local store Initiative roll! record by calling it like 30sec of the beggining! really funny to run and play.

It's...fine. I didn't find the plot very compelling (you travel, you have some random encounters, you arrive at your destination, and then you fight some more random dudes), and the layout was a little confusing (lots of pieces are presented out of chronological order, making it tricky to follow and forcing a lot of flipping back and forth). I like that the adventure doesn't necessarily run the same every time—but at the same time, I'd much prefer that be because the adventure allows for lateral thinking and multiple paths to victory, rather than because the adventure gives the DM the option of making the players fight goblins or zombies in the totally self-contained random travel encounter. So, like, it's fine, but nothing especially impressive or amazing.

Great module, you are allowed to choose some random encounters and pick your own. Depending on the amount of people and encounters, it can take a while or be finished in about an hour.

Rumors of Riches was a fun adventure to run. I enjoyed all of the different encounters; you can run this multiple times and each time it will be different. It only got 4 stars because some of the random encounters were a little too random and we were a little confused on how they fit in with the story other than giving the characters a chance to fight something. Overall it was a great adventure and I will run it again!

I often have a few issues where Im trying to schedule monthly games for AL at stores. I try to schedule something new and also a decent spread between Tiers.

With CCCs the issue is that there are soo many Tier 5-10's but few Tier 1-4's which is a shame so when we get a new series released for the lower level it is a great thing.

The first thing I should point out is that this scenario was obviously spellchecked and the grammar was good. Because of the reputation that AL scenarios have developed in this area, it is one of the first things I notice now when Im reading a scenario. A Sad truth but sadly also a self inflicted injury.

Onward with SALT1-1.

This adventure is a whole lot of Random. Thats not saying the plot itself is random.. although it is a little confusing and perhaps SALT itself is a little too tongue in cheek. It is random in that there are many mini encounters that when strung together will make most runnings of SALT 1-1 different to the one run before. THis is a good thing in my view because it means there is replayability baked in.

The Plot of this scenario is fairly straightforward. A Half Orc recruits the adventurers to travel to a ruined settlement in Thar which exists in an area between two warring tribal /orciish factions. Being 3 key encounters we have

1) Before the caravan is met 2) After the caravan is met 3) At the town in question (not so random)

I gave the Half Orc a little more life than he had on the page . I did like the fact that this expedition was it for him. He had leveraged all he had left and I had the feeling had it not gone well, the party might of had to fight a loan shark repo team at some point.

THe party eventually arrives at the settlement and combat vs Orcs and an Ogre starts. This battle was the most 'normal' of the scenario and I found the others more memorable. Its also the start point for SALT 1-2. SALT 1-1 is next to SALT 1-3 probably the most random of the trilogy. I think SALT 1-3 is the best (it seems like in a lot of the CCC trilogies that the end scenario is the best one) followed by this one with the middle one while good not as great.

All in all I thoroughly recommend this scenario and applaud the content creators for creating more Tier 1-4 goodness

This is a great adventure for newer players, the Caravan Master Larazmu is an interesting personality to Roleplay as a DM. This module is pure RPG goodness as you Join the SALT Caravan (Search and Locate Treasure) to Guard a Caravan and search for Treasure. I think this module should be updated from a 2 hour adventure to a 4 hour adventure as there is so much to get done

This is a rather unremarkable module. When I read it after purchase, I was underwhelmed. It's a road trip module, and seemed rather humdrum. When I ran it, the players liked that there were possible hooks in several places in the mod, presumably for the rest of the series, and the combats were very well balanced. Three of the seven players were unconscious at some point in the final encounter, leading to a tense finish.

There are random rolls for encounters, but I'd suggest the DM pick what works best for their party. I actually combined two of the opening encounters into one.

It's hard for me to give a positive review, given the paint by numbers feel of the module, but the players enjoyed it and the difficulty was spot on.

I was able to run this mod at SaltCon. Everyone one at the table had a great time. I liked the openess of the mod, that it will seem like a different adventure every time that I plan on running it.
