Review: “War of Dragons” by Robert Wiese

It's another module from the “Original Adventures” series, put out by Wizards of the Coast to support D&D 3.5. This is War of Dragons, for 18th-level adventurers, written by Robert Wiese. No books outside the core three are required, although Wiese does recommend turning to the Draconomicon for advice on dragon tactics. This module can be run using Pathfinder but will require a small amount of conversion.  Although the module isn't free any more, the charge is $0.99 for a copy of War of Dragons.

Review: “Sheep's Clothing” by Robert Wiese

I was very pleased to see Robert Wiese's name on this module. Reviewing his Wreck Ashore was a pleasure. This time out, Wiese aims to challenge a party of four 11th-level characters but he includes scaling notes for higher- and lower-level adventurers. Sheep's Clothing is intended for D&D 3.5, which means that it's compatible with Pathfinder. No more than the core rules (PHB, DMG, & MM, or, CR & Bestiary) are required.  It's no longer possible to get this module for free, but there is a $0.99 re-release of Sheep's Clothing.

Boxed text in modules

I should be honest.  Shortly before writing my review of Hasken's Manor, I skimmed the blog headlines and read Courtney's post "On the Definitive Inadequacy of Boxed Text".  That partly explains why I took Brocius and Jindra to task for their lousy use of the device, but I might have done so anyway.

Review: "Wreck Ashore" by Robert Wiese

This review covers the third of the free “Original Adventures” series that Wizards of the Coast distributed to support D&D 3.5. Robert Wiese's Wreck Ashore is designed for four 1st-level characters and requires the three core D&D 3.5 rulebooks or their equivalent in the Pathfinder RPG (Core Rulebook and Bestiary).  WotC have issued a re-release through DriveThruRPG, for $0.99.
