TL; DR-Solid adventure with a bit of crazy ending. 97%
Basics– Who wants a drink? Drawn to a small town where a particularly special liquor is made, you find a massive idol barking orders. Can you find the liquor before the idol counts down to… something?
Mechanics or Crunch– Ah first level Goodman Game scenarios! These guys know their mechanics, so everything is solidly done with the right amount of random and fun monsters to fight. My players and I all had a blast killing monsters, searching, and finding the secrets of the idol. 5/5
Theme or Fluff– Overall this is fun, but I feel the ending gets a bit off. There are a ton of fun in this adventure and has some crazy turns that are just perfect for the Dying Earth. There is one problem with the adventure. I won’t spoil anything, but I feel like one enemy would not attack the players at the end. That said, if you run it how you want, it won’t be a problem!. 4.5/5
Execution– PDF? Yep. Hyperlinked? Yep. Solid Art? Yep. Good layout? Yep! This is what I expect from a Goodman Games adventure. Solid work Goodman games! 5/5
Summary– Ah crazy Dying Earth fun. This with all the other adventures makes me want to read more Vance. I love the crunch and the design, but I have a few issues with the ending. That said, you write your own story as the Judge, so fix it on the fly! This is a solid adventure that I loved, and I think you will too! 97%
