The adventure has a great expansion tied to the Starter Set (Lost Mines of Phandelver), but I have to point out that many enemies lack stat blocks (e.g., goblins, wolves). I get that they want you to use the Monster Manual, but it's not like the bestiary isn't there at all.
It also took me a while to realize they don't use XP, but rather milestone leveling. Just like the Starter Set, the first dungeon is quite a challenge for beginners.
The large map has many spoilers, and the other side only features a few basic dungeons, which is a shame.
Technical quality is nice, good paper and print.
Dobrodružství má super rozšíření navázané na Starter Set (Lost Mines of Phandelver), ale co musím vytknout je, že spousta nepřátel nemá statblocky (např. goblini, vlci). Chápu, že chtějí, aby člověk používal Monster Manual, ale zase není to tak, že tam ten bestiář není vůbec.
Také mi déle trvalo, než mi došlo, že nedávají XP, ale levely podle milestonu. Tak jako Starter Set, první dungeon je dost chuťovka pro začátečníky.
Velká mapa má mnoho spoilerů, a z druhé strany jen pár základních dungeonů, což je škoda.
Technické zpracování pěkné, dobrý papír a tisk.
A really nice adventure. The first part is a modified story from the Starter Set, followed by a new, much darker tale.
I recommend it to anyone who enjoys dungeon crawl-style adventures—meaning you're essentially navigating a labyrinth filled with all sorts of monsters, with multiple paths to the goal (though you might occasionally wonder: "How do so many different monsters live in one dungeon, and why haven't they eaten each other over the centuries?"). I found the last two chapters the most imaginative.
I see two downsides: first, the Cragmaw Hideout in the first chapter is extremely difficult, and it's practically impossible for level-one characters to survive. Second, there's almost no connection between the first and second adventures.
I probably wouldn't recommend this to beginner Dungeon Masters, but if you've already run a few adventures, you definitely won't go wrong with this one.
Moc pěkné dobroružství, první část je upravený příběh ze starter setu a na něj navazuje nový, mnohem temnější příběh.
Doporučuji těm, kdo mají rádi dobrodružství ve stylu dungeon crawlu - to znamená, že procházíte prakticky labyrinem obydleným spoustou rozličných monster a k cíli vede více cest (na druhou starnu občas si člověk říká: "jakto že tu žije v jednom dungeonu tolik různých monster, jakto že se za ta staletí už dávno nepožraly"). Nejnápaditější mi přišly poslední dvě kapitoly.
Jako nevýhodu vidím dvě věci, jednak v první kapitole, Cragmaw Hideout je extrémně těžký a prakticky není možné aby to postavy na první úrovni přežily. A potom prakticky neexistující propojení prvního dobružství a druhého dobrodružství.
Asi bych nedoporučil začínajícím dungeon mastrům, ale pokud jste už nějaké dobroružství odehrály, uričtě tady nešlápnete vedle.
