MA#95 The Little Book of Barrows Vol 1.

 By Tim Short

Gothridge

B/X, level 1?


Premise: Sort out a mess of ghost dog and wights bothering a rural family.


What do we get here?


  Over 8 pages we get 2 very small barrows.


 Usability/formatting

 

 These are not really adventures or even adventure sites, more curios you can place in a hex for players to stumble across and poke at.


 The first barrow comes with an unnecessary page of back story that will never come up in play. 


 I like the concept of the two barrows, the maps and writing are decent they just need to be expanded a little both in room size and theme. There is actually some merit to the idea of a book of barrows, file that under ideas I'll never follow up on.


Portability


   Very simple to drop into hexes as required.


Recommendation


 I feel like the author always gets off to a good start with these micro set ups they just need a bit more polish to the writing.
