I've run this a couple of times and enjoy running it. The end boss can be a lot of fun if the GM makes good use of his abilities. The first time I ran it I thought the maze skill checks were too hard, then I reread it and caught the find print. If 3 players make aid another checks and aid a 4th making the survival roll, the DC is pretty reasonable unless you have a party where everyone is WIS 7. I think transparency with the skill checks is needed.

This is the worst scenario I have ever played. The battles are far too easy to even be fun. Enemies can't hit you at all regardless of class, and the mod decides that having more of them would somehow make it harder.

The bulk of the scenario involves making incredibly almost impossible skill checks for the level of the scenario. Fail the skill check, and there's most likely a trap. It's the most passive scenario that could be written. Move, roll dice, accept that you can't make skill check, take damage.

Players have very little input into what happens in the game. Not to mention the rewards/penalties for failure. Under no circumstances should you ever play this mod.

Really fell short on the maze, the encounters were very simple, and the flavor of the story is lost in the scenario itself.

It was an okay module not my favorite. Still had a good time. The battle at the end was very cool.

I just played through this scenario and oh how I want to give it a 5 star. BUt I am said to say I cannot

The back story is fantastic but I had to wait until the end to tell my players because the scenario never does. This really would be better suited as a full fledge module.

The maze has all the potential to be amazing but instead is just a bunch of skill checks, that are either to high for the party to get often or to low to matter depnding on group size and level.
The traps are interesting (besides the pit traps) but make no sense. computer operated door in pathfinder? WTF?!?

Finally the battle are a joke, the entire time the game promises a massive battle with a hundred enimies but fails to deliver more than one or two at a time. The Boss, like the maze is either easy to impossible depending on the party. We killed him in two rounds and with only one person even affected.

Again, I loved teh concept of this and was really excited to try it out but it failed to live up to the promises.

The concepts, ideas, and environment surrounding Delirium have great potential. Unfortunately, the execution of these concepts doesn't meet this potential, and what should have been a journey through the weird and fantastic, is in fact a stroll through the mundane.

The puzzles in Delirium are both solved by multiple (15+) consecutive skill checks that require very little in the way of player thought, interaction, or decision making. Rolling dice for the sake of rolling dice, until you get "10 successes" isn't interesting or fun (for me anyway, I suppose the other reviewers are easier to please). It's just 'meh'.

Although 'mazes are boring', mazes with a few simple puzzles that players can think about, are not boring. As much as "The Darkest Vengeance" is criticized for its (broken) puzzle, I think they did it right in the sense that it required some player input combined with some skill checks... now that's fun! The simple puzzles in Silent Tide are also fun. But this is not.

Another major problem I have with this scenario is that the players will never learn the (interesting) back story behind this scenario (unless the GM makes a major change to the scenario, or reads the back story to them at the end, lol).

Regarding the encounters, they're extremely easy, but more importantly, the majority of them aren't interesting. When I say the encounters are easy, what I mean is that six 1st level PCs could easily beat the scenario at subtier 4-5. I wish I was exaggerating.

I might seem overly harsh but unfortunately I just don't think this scenario will be satisfying to myself or my players (without major modifications). Everyone would leave the session saying "Is that it?". Not only was this scenario too easy, it just failed to be interesting. For me, what makes it worse is that the scenario had the framework to be something special.

A well balanced adventure for the most part. My only issue was the ending fight was a bit under-powered for our group. We played the 1-2 tier, so the higher one may be different. If you haven't played this one, it's worth it.

Delirium's Tangle offers the player characters a well balanced array of challenges wrapped up in a classic dungeon setting, but with a rich enough atmosphere and background story to stand apart from the simple dungeon crawls. The combat challenges are varied and not too deadly. Furthermore, skill and ability use play a significant and well thought out part in the module.
Though the scenario features a solid backstory tied into current and past affairs of Absalom, the opportunity to share it with the player characters through roleplay or otherwise are not established in the core module, but is left up to the Game Master to explore. Bridging this gap could take this scenario from good to great. If you are GMing this module, check out some GM guide suggestions.

Aside from some few rules errors, Delirium's Tangle is a well-executed dungeon crawl through a maze. The DCs seem a tad too high for Tier 1-2, and the combats feel easy regardless of tier.

The BBEG is an imaginative opponent who actually puts up a fight and isn't dead in just one round. Faction missions aren't all that good though.

I'm struggling to decide whether this is a 3-star or a 4-star scenario. It's something in-between.

I recently had the pleasure of running Delirium's Tangle for a small group of very experienced players with mostly 3rd level characters, playing up to tier 4-5. After a delightful evening's play, it was a definite 'thumbs up' for this scenario.

The scenario seems to be perfectly fitted for a group of characters with diverse skills and abilities. Some of the faction missions do seem a bit abstract (like mapping a labyrinth, which the characters never really explores anyway due to the "maze mechanics" used in the scenario) or a bit hard to accomplish due to the very specialized skills needed, but by cooperating the group completed all the missions nonetheless. The final confrontation with Abysiel, however, is really a masterpiece.

Given the oppertunity, I am definitely looking forward to running the scenario again.
