I ran Blossom of Oshadis as a one-shot for my co-workers, recently. It was the right length for a one-shot, and offers helpful information on how to scale the encounters for 1st-level parties. It features handouts and maps, which help keep players engaged. The sidebars help put valuable information front-and-center, so you don't forget to read it. DM tips are offered to help the adventure run smoothly. The boxed text is short and sweet. A page offers suggestions on how to continue the story, if you want to tie this to a campaign.

Having had a positive experience with this adventure, I look forward to referring back to the other adventures in the book in the future. I hope they're all as easy to open and run as Blossom of Oshadis is.

Everyone of The "Malady" products is amazing and has had a ton of love poured into it. Taking things a step behind creating diseases and teaching you how to make your own, The Malady Chronicles creates a series of adventures utilizing new and existing diseases.

The Malady Chronicles works well as a collection of adventures which were inspired by previous Malady titles. Individual contributors' writing makes for a diverse, yet thematic, collection of work. But indiviual contributors' art and cartography prevent it from a completely cohesive product. That's not to say anyone's art is bad. Just that sometimes the styles are vastly different.

Pros:

  • Nine different adventures that range from dungeon crawls to crime investigations to rescue heists.
  • An overarching storyline that optionally connects all adventures into one campaign.
  • Seven pre-made player characters, with excellent, well-thought out backstories.
  • 14 disease and doctor-related items.

Cons:

  • Map quality varies from full color and multiple angles to no maps whatsoever.
  • The adventures vary in length and quality, and some don’t focus enough on their chosen disease.

THE VERDICT: BASED ON THE DISEASES FROM THE MALADY CODEX, THE MALADY CHRONICLES BUILDS A SERIES OF INTERESTING ADVENTURES WITH A LARGE FOCUS ON DISCOVERING AND INVESTIGATING THE DEADLY PLAGUES.

The quality of the book is outstanding. Nine adventures for almost every tier of play and each one unique yet thematic enough with the Malady series! If you are a DM looking to run a long-running campaign, or you want to fit each story in parts of your home campaign, look no further.

Also, the quality of the maps and handouts provided is great as well. 5/5 Great job to all that worked in this supplement.

There are many premier reasons why the saying "Two heads are better than one," has made it to this day and age. Or in this case, numerous heads are better than one. When my friend Jason Mpakos posted in the Dungeon Masters Creator Circle that this bad boy was looking for reviewers, I jumped on the chance. Adventure anthologies have come to be something I enjoy, as it is much like a collection of short stories one might find at your local libraries: a book with Asimov, Bradbury, Lovecraft, Howard, and other classics that you can skim through and pick and choose.

The Malady Chronicles are a stunning feat of creative prowess, slamming towards you full-tilt on plague-ridden train tracks. Every adventure is a little different, whether it is Blooms of Oshadis or Shadow over Waterdeep, all these arcs ride on different themes; political intrigue, rural superstition, witchcraft, fear of science, and the biggest of all - humanity's terror of the germ.

The maps are well laid out, the book is visually gripping and pulls the reader in right from the get-go, and at almost 200 pages, this tome is worth more - at least I think - than 90% of the quest books that Wizards has put out in recent times. It feels and reads like it was done by experts - which at the end of the day it was. So if you haven't, go and get all diseased-up and buy yourself a copy of The Malady Chronicles. I promise you won't get sick...too bad...

This is definitely a work of extreme passion and dedication. Every creator that contributed to this has given their fullest, sparing absolutely nothing. From the wonderful art to the compelling and crunchy adventures, everything about the Malady Chronicles showcases an elite standard of DMsGuild design. I personally can't wait to run Rise of the Druid's Curse for my party, who are hungry for some adventuring closer to their home base in Waterdeep :)

Hey DM! if you turn away from this book - you will remain HEALTHY and PURE! YOU DONT WANT THAT! DO YOU???

Diseases? CHECK! Adventures? CHECK! bacteria and other infections? CHECK!

I can go on and on but I am starting to feel my throat getting bloated with mutative viruses, blame this book.

And to quote my friend Toradon the Hammer “You want me to tell you what to do. I won’t. You already know what you must do, you simply need to say it aloud. Go on. Say it.”

Everyone: THIS BOOK IS SO FUCKING GOOOOD WE WILL BUY IT.

Legal notice: People that have been rating this book with 5 stars have not had their brain infected by any kind of Illithid disease that controls people and makes them rate this product with 5 stars. really.

[Video Review: https://youtu.be/f7_Oqn6ojMI ] The Malady Chronicles is a story-based expansion on the four best-selling disease-themed supplements in the Malady series. This book contains 9 setting-neutral adventures written by 9 different authors. There are three quests for each of the first three tiers of play, and they can be run as oneshots OR a full campaign!

I was particularly impressed by the inclusion of 8 sample characters (each including a level 1 stat block, art, physical descriptions, a backstory, ideals, bonds, flaws, and personal quotes). These make great sidekicks for running the adventures with a small party.

Malady Chronicles is a unique book that your game group is sure to enjoy! Check out my video review linked above!
