DUNGEON AND DRAGONS STARTER SET REVIEW FULL
If you want to know more about Baldur’s Gate Descent Into Avernus, check out our full review on it here! If your player ground wanted to explore the 9 hells of Dungeons & Dragons, this book might still just be the right fit for you. I would recommend the Waterdeep Dragon Heist adventure if you were looking for a city adventure. Unfortunately, this title on the adventure is a misnomer as next to no time is actually spent there. When we first heard that the theme was going to take us to Baldur’s Gate, I and may people were excited. The biggest one is that my players just don’t care to play this one and I can understand why. From riding around in the Mad Max style vehicles called war machines, to conversing with demons.īut I run into several issues with this adventure. There are a lot of cool things about this adventure. You can actually take a look at our full review of Hoard of the Dragon Queen here for more information.Īt the end of the day, there are many adventure options that you can select over this one that players and the dungeon master will get more mileage out of.īaldur’s Gate Decent into Avernus has been an adventure module that has been slowly tumbling down the best published adventures list. That being said if there are positives to say about this book, it travels the sword coast pretty effectively so if there are additional things to do between locations this campaign would improve. If you have a ground with a dungeon master that is able to better fill in this travelling it might be helpful. There are large swaths of this book that are barren adventuring back and forth from one area to another and can feel almost fetch quest like. This book feels like a classic Dungeons & Dragons adventure, but it also feels like the edition was still getting used to it’s new walking legs with some of these early entries. Currently this can be purchased as a single piece with The Rise of Tiamat. Hoard of the Dragon Queen is the first installment of the Tyranny of Dragons series. This book was among the first released for 5th Edition.
