First Actual Review: Dark Lord’s Doom (TFT programmed/solo adventure, 28 pages)
I pushed the two solo/programmed adventures in PDF form to backers, both for pre-printing error checking and also because it was time.
The first written feedback came in via Kickstarter, in what is a concise but positive review that David Pulver can be proud of.
Mini review (with mild spoilers).
Given DLD is a military campaign and will necessarily have linear elements (from following orders) and lots of combats, there is excellent variety. Exciting, on a knife-edge combats are to be expected, and DLD doesn’t disappoint. Well structured, and with good links to earlier encounters, and the random element (with modifiers in your favour if you have the right skills/do well) seems appropriate for larger events. A welcome feature is allowing the story to develop without “plot immunity”; you might fail to protect the King, but then you can “double” for him in battle, and possibly redeem the situation. Well illustrated, clear layout with easy to read text.
A top class adventure, highly recommended.
I’m still taking pre-orders until the print orders are placed.
Very informative.
