Deep Horizon: An Adventure for 13th-Level Charaters (Dungeons & Dragons Adventure)

Rating:
Summary: Regret buying
Review: An interesting premise, poor execution. Maps are hard to follow. Very few interesting traps or encounters. Very stingy on the rewards that the PCs may acquire. The only redeeming aspect is that this module introduces the desmodus, a cool race of bat-like men who dwell in the Underdark. But if you pick up Savage Species, the appendices in that book fully describe the desmodus.

Rating:
Summary: One Lousy Adventure
Review: I have to say, this is one lousy adventure... Skip Williams could have done much better that that. Firstly, the character hooks is really badly made, then secondly, the race of bats has a DC missing, thirdly, the whole adventure was really boring.

Rating:
Summary: A disappointment at Best
Review: This adventure seems hastily written and hastily put together. It lacks a real adventure hook and is basically a collection of encounters. And it's boring. I would have given it two stars for the interesting race of bat creatures within, but one of their special attacks lacks a DC, so even that isn't done correctly. Another annoying thing about the module is that it contains magical solutions for current technology, such as SCUBA gear. Super lame. This is a lackluster effort and a real disappointment from Skip Williams.

Summary: It probably looked better on the back of a napkin
Review: This flavorless effort from the Wizards team marks the low point of the 3rd ed. D&D showcase series. Essentially a collection of sketches, the module serves little purpose beyond bulking characters up to 15th level. This is the worst sort of dungeon crawl; imagine your party wearing ties and carrying briefcases, and you can almost see them collecting their paychecks at the end of the day and returning home to watch TV and read the paper. Think of it as the salaryman adventure. The shame of a single-star rating is averted by the inclusion of an interesting new race which can be put to good use - in a more enterprising module.
