The Prison on the Mountain

Premise: The Prison on the Mountain. A sinister place full of dark sorcery from which many brave adventurers never return.


What do we get here?

 

What you get here is a hex map with 11(?) locations and an abstract dungeon map with 6 rooms.


Usability/formatting


 Originally this adventure was written in Portuguese and has been translated to English. Unfortunately there is not really enough text to go with this adventure. In fact calling it an adventure is a bit much really.


 You get two maps and are mostly left to figure it out yourself.


 Unless I am missing something massive here this is basically a starting point to nudge you in the direction of an adventure. You are supposed to make up the contents of the hexes after you figure out which ones go with which hex. When it comes to the dungeon there is also a fair amount of work figuring out what goes where due to the abstract nature.


 Given this is a translated adventure I was preparing to cut it some slack going in ahead of time but the amount of Portuguese text appears to be as long as what we get in English.


 Portability


 You are doing most of the work yourself to get this to the table so sure, in that regard it is very portable.


 Recommendation


 The art is decent, there is just nothing beyond that. Even the pregens are just sketches, no stats at all. 


 If you wrote an adventure round the art it could be decent, as is this is unusable without a bunch of work on the DMs part. Even for a free adventure this is taking the piss really.
