The chart professes to be useful for XP calculation, but the be useful for that, it would have to list CRs, which are used for XP calculation It also has more than the recommended amount of treasure, though some are well hidden and to his credit, the author points out the treasure and provides suggestions for those who would rather tone it down to standard levels. The adventure also has a little 'early third edition' feel in that it has a EL chart that few adventures use these day (some to their detriment, especially larger ones). Noteworthy innovations that I would not have seen in a first edition adventure include scaling notes for different level parties, accommodation in the hook for details of the GMs game, and a variety of introductory hooks. Of course in some ways, I feel like Necromancer, Goodman has defied the first edition feel by doing better than the adventures they hoped to pay homage to. The thin saddle stitched booklet with blueprint maps were a hallmark of first edition adventures, as is the uncomplicated dungeon-crawl plot. But most of the quality in their adventures shows itself in the ways which they are not like first edition adventures.ДЄs far as format and presentation go, perhaps Goodman games deserves the first edition feel tagline. Not to say that Necromancer's adventures are bad, anything but. While they may emulate that feel in some ways, it is interesting to see that a large portion of their products are mini-campaign style adventure more characteristic of.

Goodman Games have been doing the Dungeon Crawl Classic series for a while, but this is the first one that I have had the pleasure to review.ДЄs some of you may be aware, the big dog in d20 adventures, Necromancer Games, has adopted 'Third Edition Rules, First Edition Feel' as its tagline. (Warning: There are spoilers to secrets of the adventure in this section.) The inside covers are used for some maps, which are done with blue ink in the old school style.

Some of the art is a bit 'old school', but there is a rather nice collection of illustrations to show the players.Д¬artography is by Jeremy Simmons. The interior art is black and white, with art by Jason Edwards, Brad McDevitt, and Brian Tarsis. The front cover is illustrated by Chuck Whelon and the back by Brad McDevitt. The cover is a goldenrod color, adorned b a somewhat cheesy looking color pick of adventurers battling harpy-like creatures. The adventure is written by Andrew Hind, and is designed for a party of level 7-8 characters (though it has adaptation notes for different levels.)ДЄerie of the Crow God is a 48-page saddle-stitched (it's been a while since I used those words!) softbound book priced at $12.99 US. If you enjoy this adventure, you might also enjoy the rest of the Dungeon Crawl Classics series.ДЄerie of the Crow God is an adventure in Goodman Games' Dungeon Crawl Classic series of adventures designed to emulate first edition adventure modules. Can the PCs survive and return with the key in less than three days' time? Lady Pendour's life depends on it!Дungeon Crawl Classics can be integrated easily with any fantasy setting. The task ahead is far greater than imagined, and the danger more dire, but the desperate time limit remains. Carved inside the very rock is a temple to Malotoch, the Carrion Crow Mistress, foul patron of scavengers and cannibals.

But Gurnard's Head is home to an evil far greater than mere harpies.

It's to Gurnard's Head that the PCs must go if they are to find the key and save the beautiful lady. Unfortunately, Lord Pendour disappeared while questing to clear the ruined fortress of Gurnard's Head of the 'harpies' that ravage the village sheep and defile the cemetery. In this all-new adventure, someone is threatening to kill poor Lady Pendour and her two young daughters! The characters can save her if they find the key to her deceased husband's lock box. Each adventure is 100% good, solid dungeon crawl, with the monsters you know, the traps you fear, and the secret doors you know are there somewhere.

Dungeon Crawl Classics don't waste your time with long-winded speeches, weird campaign settings, or NPCs who aren't meant to be killed. Remember the good old days, when adventures were underground, NPCs were there to be killed, and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Those days are back.
