Compliments to Boozer and his Adventure in Fellbarrow adventure. At least according to my math it looks life a great scenario for the 2nd to 4th level party with 3-5 PC's. Set in a Hole-In-The-Wall town slipping slowly, but inevitably into the vast bog it borders, there is a whole village set up here with a fairly short adventure with some other hooks for continued adventures afterwards in the village.
The only criticism that I have is that there is a lot of information on rather mundane aspects of the village, without any development on the other suggested adventure hooks. There is enough detail in the module for a small campaign, taking characters from 2nd until 7th lvl, with some serious storyarcs, but the focus of the background material doesn't develop on this. And as a short adventure there is too much information for a GM to download and run on a whim.
Despite the my nitpick above, I still intend on using a variation of Fellbarrow for my on-going campaign as it is a rich and detailed setting. Definitely worth the read to get the GM, experienced or novice, thinking "outside of the dungeon."

Cheers for that write-up Kopf.  I agree that some things could have been developed, but I don't think it is a serious shortcoming of the module, and shouldn't spoil the game for the GM too much. If you get around to playing it, please let us know how it went. I've never actually played it with the new additions! Actually, I had intended to do some new maps, as the ones provided are quite basic, and I quickly did them a long time ago when I originally wrote the adventure. However, time is always a problem, so I chose to stick with the originals so I could get the adventure uploaded and people could use it.

Excellent work here Boozer.
With more readily available material like this - more people will be attracted to play T&T.
I'll have to do a quick exalt for this outstanding contribution. Many thanks, I'll be plugging it into my own game as is.
Cheers

As always, high praise (and an exalt) go out to Boozer for his splendiferous modules to be found out in th Hobgoblin's Tavern.
I've just finished downloading the latest post "Rage OVer Rjeng-Hang" and am looking forward to a good read!

i've been saying for over five years now (to anyone who will listen ) that andy is one of the best T&T adventure writers - if not the best. in addition to being creative, he really understands t&t's flavour and mechanics, so the adventures truly come off an intended for t&t, not just something written for any ol' roleplaying game that you could happen to use t&t rules for.
i played the earlier incarnation of the adventure, and also based an online game in fellbarrow (with andy's permission, although i called it karthaki and used a different map) that ran for two years.

You guys are just too kind, many thanks for everything you have said about me and my adventures. I'm delighted that they are good enough for you guys to consider worthy of playing!  Sadly I hardly ever get to role-play these days for many reasons, and I hardly ever get the opportunity to run my own adventures, Still, I take great pleasure in writing them all the same, and it's fantastic that they are used in other gaming circles. Look out for a new mini-solo soon, which will be the collaboration of 3 well-known members of the T&T Universe...
