FAQ Rating: *** (10 reviews; 0 *, 3 **, 5 ***, 2 ****)
- Excellent scenario.
- Neat idea for a story, could be fairly well integrated. Could stand a bit more organization. Took a couple of reads to figure out where all the major people were and how they had been related.
- Very well scripted and conceived. If all ArM adventures were this good, it would be amazingly successful.
- Interesting treatment of the Black Plauge but the appearance of that disease is somewhat anachronistic to "official" ArM time.
- A little too harsh in my opinion. I like to have fun with my players, not to make them desperate. A good capture of the harsh time of the 10th century.
- Very good story, but a little too deadly. A mistake spells death!
- This adventure just left me cold. Some nice ideas, but I would have liked it better with more interesting long-term characters.
