Description
This is the first module in the 'Legacy of Daggerdale' campaign which is a plot-driven story based around the Daggerdale area of the FR. Each module is designed to be a relatively short, self-contained 'episode' that string together over the entire series. The tale opens in the small village of White Chalk Hollow which lies about a day's ride west of Dagger Falls. A strange sickness is affecting the village's animals, something that is of grave concern to a village whose whole economy is based upon farming. As a citizen of the town, you are asked to investigate the illness. Takes characters from 1st to 2nd level. Please read the 'READ ME' for more details. Version 1.20 FINAL

This is a decent little module to get your new PC to level 2 and provide them with a bit of a backstory.

Positives:

  • Pretty well written. Few typos. Most dialog isn't painfully generic.
  • The environments are nice. Enough ambient sounds and lighting adjustments to make it interesting.
  • Enough quests that the module doesn't feel sparse.
  • Good set up for DD2 with a smooth transition.

Opportunities:

  • Suffers from the "here's an overly large starting town with too many interiors for my 2 hour module that you'll irreversably leave and never visit again" syndrome.
  • Side effect of #1 is that there are loads of named NPCs with nothing to really say, which ends up inflating play time if you're the type who talks with everyone not named Farmer. Most of the plot NPCs (the Mayor for example) were forgettable.
  • The module strips your character in the first area. I was importing a level 2 character already and it was a rude surprise.
  • Very light on the action.

Not a bad way to spend an hour or two.

This was an okay module, that strips at the start, but the baddies are easy to that doesn't make this hard to survive. I have played the first two installments, but I guess there is no Dagger Falls one, right? I would like to do the rescue, as it is in my nature!
