5E Adventure Review: Bandit’s Nest

Bandit’s Nest is a short adventure by Dan Coleman for 1st level characters, the first adventure of his Dungeons on Demand Kickstarter. The PDF is 15 pages long, with one page used for the cover and the last page used for a very brief legal notice, apparently requested by Wizards of the Coast – a much nicer move than just shutting the Kickstarter down with a … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: Bandit’s Nest

AD&D Adventure Review – DL2 Dragons of Flame

In July 1984, DL2: Dragons of Flame was published. Written by Douglas Niles, it was the second adventure in the Dragonlance Saga, an ambitious fourteen-part series of adventures that told a story about dragons returning to the world.

5E Adventure Review: The Poison Works

Dan Hass’s seventh adventure, The Poison Works, sees the adventurers finally making their way into the territory of the Red Blades. As is typical with these adventures, the formatting is poor, the maps are adequate, it would be nice to see better editing, but there are some good encounter ideas. The formatting problems really hit the first encounter, which explains the details of the PC’s … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: The Poison Works
