B/X, levels 1-2
Premise: Orcs have moved into an abandoned dwarven redoubt!
What do we get here?
Over 10 pages we an adventure with a 7 room dungeon.
Usability/formatting
What we get on the page is pretty well thought out and organised. There is good advise on how to run the combatants and the potential for some faction play.
The treasure is okay, nothing special. When we finally get the map it is decent enough for the small size.
My problem with this one is that it misses the key parts of the adventure that build up to the dungeon. You have to do all the work yourself of building up Nashka as an interesting and memorable villain. We need some villages that have been laid waste to and so on, tales of Nashka's cruelty.
There is potential here you just have to pull it out of the adventure.
Portability
Given the lack of background to this adventure it is pretty portable.
Recommendation
This is a free adventure so hard to complain too much. Just wish there was more to it to make it a solid recommend rather than it being an average orc dungeon you can pull out in a pinch.
