I bought this product because I wanted my crew to experience something a bit more from the Wave Echo Cave. Reading the synopsis this sounded like it would meet the requirement.

I have to say that I was quite disappointed with the material provided. It's not that the ideas are bad, on the contrary it has some good ideas in it. However the overall structure and language within the product was really problematic to DM with.

Firstly the structure of the document is super confusing. The map for the section you're busy reading about is not in the same section of the document, so you keep having to scroll around and it's so easy to lose your place.

Secondly the sequence of events and how the ideas fit together is not well described and often difficult to find. Simply put, the information you're looking for is never where you expect nor need it to be.

Thirdly a lot of the information provided either doesn't make sense or hasn't really been thought through. I don't want to provide any spoilers but the only way to effectively use this material in my opinion is to rip it apart and put it back together again. Don't try to use it on the fly as you'll just end up confused.

It's quite long, there's a lot of repetitive combat in there. The encounter design is very vanilla, not much of interest in terms of combat. Also very sketchy on lore, you'll have to fill in a lot of blanks if your characters care about that sort of thing.

And finally the block text descriptions are really bad. They are written in English that often just doesn't make sense. I actually read them as is because it was so bad it was funny... but not very immersive as a result.

I hope this is a fair review. It's my first review of self-published material and it's possible that my expectations are too high.
