| Hakpak | My hak which is included with the mod is just a combination of extra creatures.Jxp_base will have to be downloaded seperately,it is well worth it as it includes many brilliant custom tilesets.My hak goes first,then all the cep stuff then jxp_base last. |
| Description | |
| This module has to be the closest conversion of the PNP module In Search of the Unknown yet! The Dungeon,encounters even treasure is exactly as per the original module. Some encounters have been devised by myself but utilizing the creatures at hand, and keeping with the General flavour of Mike Carrs original. This is a very descriptive module and almost every thing bears close scrutiny. Enjoy ATOM. | |

This mod has been created many times by many authors... this one is a shorter version.
Wow, if those are your credentials for votes, YOU SUCK Trixter! :P
I've actually enjoyed it, having played NONE of the other versions, and it was highly recommended by a quality D&D player.
I am trying to enjoy this one, but it is tough! Most doorways are transition points to who knows where? And there are pits that you can fall in and never get out of, if you fail a "Swimming" check, whatever that is based upon! My stats are plenty high enough, but I keep failing in the one pit I fell in, never to emerge! Very little action, no way to really know what to do here. A loose effort, I am afraid...
This started out well enough. But, went downhill very FAST. Map is horrible, but the worst part is I kept falling into some pit, and constanly failing a "swimming check." Not sure why the author added a trap that requires some crazy mechanic, but here we are... I cant get out of the pit, and that is the end of the story, and the end of me playing this mod.
Not good...at all.
This is a PnP conversion. That pit, the water and the drowning check were all part of the original PnP module. In fact B1 was the first D&D module played by many people and is fondly remembered as such.
TR
I have played dozens of PnP conversions here from the vault -- your point ??
I started playing D&D back in the 80s...never played this particular mod, and to be clear, I never said anything about the original...just this one, particular interpration of it. The problem I had, which was a deal breaker (for me at least), is I fall into the water pit, AND CANT GET OUT, because I am failing a swim check, that isnt a part of the core NWN game. I cant press on, and am STUCK -- PERMNANENTLY. And if you bother to read the review by NAILS, you would know I am not the only one. Hope this sorts it out for you.
Also, I played the version by MSPANKE, to completion.
