St. Kruskiev's Gold

By Agathokles & Chipman

Pandius

D&D type games(?), levels 2-4


Premise: Help a church recover stolen relics.


What do we get here?


  Over 6 pages we get an investigation adventure.


 Usability/formatting

 

 To start out with I am not a huge fan of the formatting of this adventure. Huge pillars of text hide away all the important information and the NPCs your players are hunting for are not detailed till far too late in the text with too much info.


 Mysteries and investigations can be hard to run in d&d type games and this adventure gatekeeps a lot of the clues behind skill checks which is always a bad idea. Roll bad? No adventure for you tonight.


 Because of the nature of the way these types of adventures play out this ends up being more a framework with some suggested scenes as who knows how your players will stumble around.




Portability


   The adventure is very tied into the politics of the setting so you will have to switch that up if you want to run it in another setting. Requires a decent sized city to be run in


Recommendation


 Given away for the low, low price of free I still can't recommend this one really. From the log line of the adventure you can probably come with something equal to if not better than what we get here.
