I'm forced to agree with the previous reviewer, Mark Shipley.

I'm a huge fan of 0one's bluprints, and I'm constantly amazed by the quality cartographer Mario Barbati provides, all for less than two dollars.

Italy's greatest rpg mapmaker also has an uncanny knack for predicting what kinds of maps gamers will need before the gamers even know themselves.

This time, however, I think Mr. Barbati's instincts failed him a little ...

As reviewer Shipley stated, the majority of this map is simply yet another underground dungeon. It's a good dungeon, to be sure, but once your players take their characters underground, they could be in any dungeon anywhere, in any fantasy world. The connection to the Ruined Town setting is very slim in this product, and essentially irrelevant.

To be fair, the product title and description makes it very clear that this IS a dungeon; I was just surprised that it was very much a standard dungeon complex, with so little connection to its interesting setting.

I guess that's the risk when you're as talented as Mr. Barbati, people expect more of you than they would from others.

Worth buying, if you know what you're getting, but sadly, I can't justify rating it beyond a 3 out of 5. Mr.Barbati himself has taught us to expect more from him.
