Community Reviews
Until about 2005, Project: Redcap solicited product reviews through a Web form. Now, we use the Wiki instead. Feel free to add your own review to the following if you have read or played these adventures.
FAQ Rating: *** (6 reviews; 0 *, 1 **, 3 ***, 2 ****)
- Good short stories. First two are especially interesting. For novice Magi and/or players, or as a small diversion for experienced players. May even be used without Magi, just for companions.
- While the adventures need a fair amount of adaptation to bring them into line with ArM4, this is the best collection of short one-off adventures put out for the line. In fact, I would argue that the line could use a few dozen of these.
- Two good adventures, one so-so, one I can't remember.
- Atlas Games' first supplement was one of their best. The quality of the four adventures in this supplement is not totally consistent, but for the most part, they're good.
- Four stories, some with an AD&D feel to them (complete with humanoids in at least one!).
