There are 31 pages of high-res maps and handouts in this pack and I found them sorely disappointing.

  • A1 is a handout of the invitation. It reads "You are invited to wit...greatest accomp...ru...please attend...of the greatness...find the whos..." which makes no sense because most of the page is covered up by the picture of the envelope it came in. Evidently you are not intended to read the invitation. At that point, why have a handout at all?
  • Then there's a handout showing an image of the door handles to the main hall. Why does that even need a handout? Same with the illustration of the eel. Like, yeah, okay, it's literally just an eel, so...we need handouts for that now?
  • The illustration of the baths is admittedly pretty solid and creates a nice atmosphere (even though the bath scene itself makes zero sense whatsoever, even in context).
  • Map A.3 is the museum and it's wrong. It doesn't match the description of the room in the module.
  • Map A.4, the baths, is actually pretty good except it doesn't give any indication of the exit, which is a preeetty important factor.
  • Map B.3 is the "Wakka Wakka Wakka" section and it has a major flaw: dead ends. The "snakes" can only go forward, which makes dead ends counterproductive. Honestly IMO you'd be better off just using an actual Pac-Man grid.
  • All the maps for CCC-GARY-03 are just various flavors of rectangular rooms, corridors, and corners. You can seriously just draw a rectangle on a battle map.
  • The map for the dinner party and aftermath is well done but also not really useful because there isn't a combat encounter there. Same with the map for the room where you encounter whatsisface in part 2. The map for the "The Kid is Not My Son" section actually does do a good job illustrating the setup of the room, although why there's a separate map for the lower level that's just a blank square grid is beyond me.

It's ridiculous that this map pack is even separate from the trilogy itself, let alone priced so exorbitantly.
