An Endzeitgeist.com review

This pdf clocks in at 2 pages and is a mini-dungeon. This means we get 2 pages content, including a solid map and all item/monster-stats hyperlinked and thus, absent from the pdf, with only deviations from the statblocks being noted for the GM. Oh, and the series now comes in an archive that also contains...drumroll a .jpg-version of the map! Yeah, that's pretty amazing! Better yet: GM-friendly version of the jpg's included as well!

Since this product line's goal is providing short diversions, side-quest dungeons etc., I will not expect mind-shattering revelations, massive plots or particularly smart or detailed depictions, instead tackling the line for what it is. Got that? Great!

This being an adventure-review, the following contains SPOILERS. Potential players may wish to jump to the conclusion.

Still here?

All right!

Within the underworld, in caverns laced with mithril and adamantine, the PCs find a cave-in, lots of dead folks, and a panel – touching it manifest as an astralnaut’s ship devoted to neutrality – and no less lethal in spite of that. Astral leviathans and dragons, clockwork workers and alchemical golems make for an uncommon enemy array. The adventure comes with a brief random encounter table and strategies for roaming foes and defenses. I did find myself wishing we’d get proper vessel-stats for the astral ship, though – we just get the planar traits, which is cool, but yeah.

Conclusion:

Editing and formatting are very good, I noticed no significant glitches. Layout adheres to a beautiful 2-column full-color standard and the pdf comes sans bookmarks, but needs none at this length. Cartography is full color and surprisingly good for such an inexpensive pdf. The .jpg version included here, which you can easily cut up and hand out to the players as they progress is a huge bonus -and even better: A KEY-LESS VERSION sans the annoying letters/numbers is included as well for full VTT-compatibility!!! The pdf does sport one nice piece of original full-color art - kudos!

Stephen Yeardley provides a fun and uncommon module, though one that could have used vessel-stats instead of page #2’s artwork. My final verdict will clock in as 4.5 stars, rounded down for the purpose of this platform.

Endzeitgeist out.
