There aren’t many people who have written more adventures or contributed more to adventure creation than Wolfgang Baur. His company, Kobold Press, was the one selected to write the two Tyranny of Dragons adventures, which Wolfgang co-wrote with Steve Winter. Now he has released The Raven’s Call, a conversion of a previously released Pathfinder adventure (conversion by Dan Dillon) for his company’s Midgard setting. The … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: The Raven’s Call

The latest adventure from EN5ider, Friend of the Children, has an absolutely brilliant idea behind it: The children of a small village have stopped aging. Of course, it is up to the adventurers to find both the cause and a cure! The adventure does not force the action, instead giving an overview of the village, its inhabitants and the local surroundings, with plenty of material … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: Friend of the Children

If this sounds a lot like a movie plotline to you, well it … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: The Fall of Cahokiantep

The latest adventure available to subscribers of EN5ider is The Mystery of Mordecai’s Monster, an adventure allegedly for 3-5 characters of level 3, written by Dan Head, who previously wrote The Mystery of Malvern Manor. It’s an excellent little adventure. I’m rather fond of the schemes of insane wizards, and there’s a good one here that offers several challenges for the players. The author understands … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: The Mystery of Mordecai’s Monster

Adventurers travelling to … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: The Siege of Ebonfall
