Tonight was the final session of Spore War! The campaign lived up to all its promises, and it took no fewer than 20 intense sessions to defeat Treerazer.
I really enjoyed the variety of gameplay styles the campaign offers: negotiations, excursions to Razmiran, infiltration into Tanglebriar—whose deeply corrupt nature is particularly well rendered—a bit of dungeon crawling, and a brilliant final segment that plunges the heroes from the Void into the Witchbole.
I much prefer the system of war interludes that punctuate the entire campaign to full-scale battles, as was the case with Wrath of the Righteous, which involved numerous subsystems and were time-consuming.
I appreciated the many allies the heroes can make during the three adventures and the fact that the efforts made early on are rewarded all the way through to the final battle.
The only downside might be the lack of major revelations or a final twist. But the journey through Treerazer’s memories and the lore highlighted throughout the campaign taught me a lot about the elves and Kyonin.
In summary: a solid campaign that kept my players on the edge of their seats until its epilogue. Special mention goes to the negotiations in the first chapter and the infiltration of the Amaranthine Oubliette in the third part!
Overall rating: 8/10 (Whispers in the Dirt: 9/10, The Secret of Deathstalk Tower 7/10, A Voice in the Blight 9/10)
