Third Party Vendor’s takes on 4th edition adventures continues to outdo the corporate counter parts. Endless Winter is another strong showing, delivering a title that is far from frigid in the creative department.
Endless Winter establishes itself by beginning with a highly creative skill challenge and slowly ramps up the action dial as the adventure proceeds. An unnatural cold has taken over the land and the party must investigate the source and find the militia men who went to investigate.
Throughout the 43 pages, the writers have one of the most balanced efforts I have seen in 4th edition adventure of producing role playing opportunities, skill challenges and combat. Fans of thinking tactical encounters will be impressed with several sets of creatures that have the option of not being battled.
The layout of Winter is clean, crisp and highlights the well lined artwork. Most combats have an urgent sense of tactical design and require a bit of thinking and preplanning. This is easily an adventure that an unprepared party can TPK.
For the Dungeon Master
The writers utilize the environment very well. Thick mounds of snow, ice and wind conditions will all hamper your party in creative ways.
The Iron Word
Endless Winter is a fine adventure, really showing off what an adventure can do without tossing out enemy after enemy.
