That's awesome! Man, I do love these contests. People put together great things in little time.

Echoes of Saltmarsh in overall tone. The Scarecrows are great, I'd have liked an "order of battle" for them, I imagine if conflict is started with the farmers the Scarecrows show up to cut off escape routes for the players forcing them to fight through them or take to the sea.

 

[Beek Gwenders]

Picked it up, happy with what I’m looking at so far. Good work.

 

[Beoric]

Ok, this is awesome! It makes me want to start building on it right away, too bad none of my campaigns are anywhere near a coast ATM. @Osrnoob, is this yours?

 

[Osrnoob]

Nope! Dont know if that person is here. They should be was in the comments today though

I do have a coast campaign RN though !

[Two orcs]

A solid entry with emphasis on a chaotic chase/rescue. An unspoken piece of design I noticed was that rummaging through the generous treasure closet also is a race against time, you might have to split your attention between rescue and loot. Something that could have made this challenge even starker would have been marking the treasure closet clearly for the players but locking it so that it takes time to get any at all + lockpicking vs. destroying the door. Right now the prisoners are encountered first and the treasure might be missed completely. I'd have put the prisoners and treasure in the same room!

 

[bryce0lynch]

Yeah, that's a great bit of design. You reach the prisoners first and then get to fuck around and find out.

I like the old-style diving suits in Guimond's Light. I have a little area in my Dungeons & Drains tunnels below a palace that has an air-lock. I think I'm going to steal the notion of having an old diving suit there that's sort of decaying with dry-rot and mix that with Prince's contest to use standard AD&D spells in innovative way -- i.e. the suit was originally constructed from materials and craftsmanship that exceeds the local tech...so it can't be repaired excepted magically via a mending spell or better.

Ha! Shameless thievery!

I'd bet mostly DMs or aspiring DMs each who should have the ability to create decent adventures if they're to keep their players.

You probably can't read 11 years of reviews discussing the same topics without absorbing a thing or two from them.

An entry for 5e, but simple enough to convert. Zombie crabs, a dim-witted pirate paramour. Functional but nothing special is my harsh review!

I'm still far more impressed with @Malrex's folders.
