This is the first issue fot the age of worms campaign. That alone is worth getting the issue.

The Whispering Cairn is a great 1st level adventure for Veterans & Newcomers of DnD. The balanace of hack and slash, Brians before brawn , and ROLE playing are perfect.

The Diamond lakes backdrop was a must read for each DM wishing to run the whole campaign.

Temple of the Scopion god and Chambers of Antiquities are also good solid adventures.

I was very impressed with this issue to begin with, but Chamber of Antiquities sealed it. A classic addition to a classic D&D scenario by RJK no doubt! The addition of the random creation for Hordlings is a great update to the demons charts from AD&D1 and gives us DM's the ability to keep things interesting for PC's when in the depths of the 'moor' castle in the mountains.

The Whispering Cairn didn't grab me until I got to the old observatory. The overview of Diamond Lake sealed the deal of having a good start to the Age of Worms Adventure Path.

The online supplement is outstanding.

SWEET!

this is a great isue. The Age of Worms adventure and backdrop are fantastic. The backdrop is highly useable as a starter town, with a large number of intrigues just waiting to happen. This has been the easiest pregenerated town to place the PC's in for as long as i have been DM (12+ years). Even if you have no plans to play the campaign this is a great addition to any DM's campaign and is ripe with things you can use. The adventure Whispering Cairn is VERY good, with a lot of surprises, can't wait to get started on sunday...
