A good start for Raging Swan


Firstly, a couple of presentation comments. I love the presentation. The black reminds me of the old Traveller books, very smart. Illustration wise, the artwork's OK and the maps could do with being a bit more professionally produced.

The adventure starts with a couple of encounters for part 1 that, to be frank, didn't do much for me. That's the worst bit over and from there you get to part 2 which is very good. Here the players have time to get used to the npc's before the DM then gets the fun of trying to kill them off to set timings. This leads to the players rushing around doing their best to intercept the protagonists before they become ex-npc's. Well timed and a good high paced section to the adventure that works really well. The last piece is a fairly standard dungeon chase to get to the final encounter and sort out the bad guy.

Overall, this is a low level adventure, which is why I bought it. They are notoriously hard to write well and this does a good job. It'd be a good start for a campaign and I would recommend it as such. Is it perfect, no, but it's a fun jaunt with part 2 being the stand out that will be really enjoyable for your players. Worth the money and a good first outing for Raging Swan. Go to their website at www.Ragingswan.com for extras and a taste of their style.
