Clash of Wills

Rating:
Summary: Dull...
Review: Having been most impressed with the Dark Ages Genre in general, I was very very disapointed with this title. Linear, not well thought out... and boring to boot.

A complete dog! Dont buy it.

Summary: An excellent introduction to VtDA
Review: I completely disagree with the other two reviewers. Clash of Wills is an excellent starting point for a VtDA chronicle. My only complaint is that's it's way too short (short but sweet :-)).

As for the plot: there are many possible branches (the book explains what to do for each different choice), the players aren't forced to do anything, and some events may indeed take place wether the PCs are there or not. But that's the way I like it, I don't want the story to be shoved down the player's throats no matter what they do. They will have to face the consequences for their actions (or inaction) later...

Sure, it's no story for experienced elder characters, but they should be playing something like Transylvanian Chronicles anyway to prove their salt's worth :-)

Summary: A nice try
Review: If you need information on the lords of medieval England's Long Night, it's here. If you're looking for an adventure set in medieval England's Long Night, well, you might want to think twice.

This adventure is strictly linear -- the same events will occur whether the players try to counter them, try to promote them, or go on pilgrimage to Rome instead of playing this adventure. If your group prefers linear gaming, you'll probably like "Clash of Wills". If not, you will need to do a lot of editing before you run it; and it might be just as easy to write your own adventure.
