Reception

A review for Wargamer noted that the adventures range from those that allow players to take the lead to dungeon crawls. It praised the creativity of the scenarios, and especially "Affair on the Concordant Express", but criticized the incomplete background of the adventures and a lack of practical support for Dungeon Masters when players overthink, as well as how much the adventures rely on player initiative and the lack of attention paid to timing.[1]
