Curtain Call is an outstanding introduction to Sharn and a great jumping off point for an Eberron campaign. The scenarios presented provide a great opportunity to find out about Sharn as well as a lot of themes that make Eberron so great.

Art and Layout As expected from a Guild Adept title, the art and layout here is truly excellent.

Box Text The DMs help text strikes the right balance of being helpful and informative before getting too preachy. However the read-aloud text could use trimming in places to allow more organic play at the table.

NPCs Vividly created and will be easy to run at the table.

Maps Specific enough to describe easily and generic enough to use off the shelf solutions for minis. I quite like these.

Villains and Monsters The villain is truly cringe-worthy. I'm definitely looking forward to making use of the loose ends the villains herein create.

Misc

  • I really appreciate the text for new DM's on how scenes can be handled. Specifically an oft overlooked rule, "the PCs can try this approach once." Love setting that up as an expectation for new DMs.
  • I'd love to see examples of consequences to violence against Sharn's City Watch.
  • DC's in excess of 15 seem too difficult to my eyes for this adventure level range, especially for Survival checks. Page 9 DC 20 religion check for Cult of the Dragon Below is a missed opportunity to give PCs context.
  • The chase is interesting, but I'd be hesitant to provide an automatic success for Rhazala to steal from PCs. This always peaves a player off. I'd run this as an attempt to steal with the option of PCs giving chase on a failure.
  • Gnome intrigue took a few reads to understand. There's quite a bit going on here and could be simplified.
  • Passive Perception of 11 is an inconsequential gate for giving information and could be increased in difficulty or omitted.
