Comments: This is intended as a standalone adventure for the One Ring system but can be used as part of a larger campaign. It was originally used as a convention module at the debut and was given a full production makeover. The art is fantastic and really enhances the work. The layout of the adventure is clear and easily followed, with italicized “read aloud” flavor text and well plotted GM insight text. This adventure is great for new players and gamemasters as well as veterans.

The adventure itself is quick, but not rushed with plenty of opportunity for roleplaying. The pacing is good, and the entire adventure can be played in an evening or can easily be extended to last several game sessions.
