Beyond the Black Door
Publisher: Black Death Publishing

Beyond the Black Door is not designed as a fully scripted adventure--something I and my players prefer. Instead it is more of a setting and series of possible encounters along with definite goals needed to achieve to survive. This lets the GM and the players determine the course of the adventure--also makes it easier to work it into other adventures if you don't wish to use all of the series (which I highly recommend, by the way). I recommend it--especially if you have players that like to make their own paths and not be forced down yours.

Horrid. The writing is very subpar, there is almost no direction to the adventure, and although the adventure claims the PCs know what they must do, there's never any mention of what they actually must do. It reads like notes taken midway through another DM's campaign. Without privileged information it's impossible to know what to do and when.

"Beyond the Black Door" is designed to fit in with the other modules of the series from Hanan Pacha. It is not written to 'lead the PCs around by the nose'. There is a basic, storyline, vivid descriptions of encounters (in order), descriptions and maps of the town and areas they are in, with two different ways to get of the Plane of Acheron. The PCs are gated in by a gate trap, which is located in two other adventures (you are told that). Acheron is not much of a vacation destination. The PCs are given opportunities to find locals to help them leave. THAT is the point: figure out how to get out of a deadly plane filled with undead, demons and other dangerous monsters! We also furnished stats for both 3.5 and 4th edition, so you can use either system. It is generic enough to drop into any dungeon that a DM is using. It's a DOOR that has something deadly on the other side. A DM can easily use it for just that, making it 'stand alone' as well! I can't respect a short review that has no constructive critique. Besides that, you paid $2.99, for crying out loud. LOL

Notice: this adventure has since been revised. "Beyond the Black Door" is designed to fit in with the other modules of the series from Hanan Pacha. It's a DOOR that has something deadly on the other side. A DM can easily use it for just that, making it 'stand alone' as well! It is not written to 'lead the PCs around by the nose'. There is a basic storyline, vivid descriptions of encounters (in order), descriptions and maps of the town and areas they are in, with two different ways to get of the Plane of Acheron (or Plutus as it is known now). The PCs are captured by a gate trap, which is located in two other adventures. Acheron is not much of a vacation destination. The DM can use the encounters with locals to find out how to leave. The following information is furnished in the text: The PCs need to find and acquire a 'gate key' that allows them to get past the Big Bad at the end of the adventure figure out how to get out of a deadly plane filled with undead, demons and other dangerous monsters! The secondary goal is to locate and acquire an artifact called 'The Pearl of Power'. We also furnished stats that give you an idea of the monster's abilities. They are generic enough for the DM to adjust to the game system they are using.
