| | |
| FAQ Rating: *** (9 reviews; 1 *, 2 **, 6 ***, 0 ****)
| |
| | |
| * A good adventure with lots of stuff to do and neat ideas to improve the game.
| |
| * An interesting look at a new magical hedge-tradition with a simple adventure to boot. Could be frustrating to those who have to deal with the NPCs, and has a dubious Jewish money lender with unfortunately stereotypical personality traits.
| |
| * Didn't like it much. I fail to see why PC magi would go, and once there, why they would stay. A wonderful central idea is lost in the midst of an unengaged tale.
| |
| * Highly detailed but highly generic adventure, lacking punch. Very much set in the middle ages and avoids the high-fantasy sheen that plagues so many ArM products. Probably requires considerable work to adapt to a running saga. Magi may be very weak for their ages, depending on local power level.
| |
| * All round good as adventures go.
