Reception
A review for Nerdist praised the adventures' usability for different play situations and their clever premises, including the conflict with heroic metallic dragons, as well as their unique art style. However, it criticized some adventures as intentional filler and that fleshing out the personalities of dragons is left to the Dungeon Master.[1]
A review for Wargamer praised the art style and layout of the adventures and their options for non-violent and solo player style. However, it criticized a disapponting narrative that requires preparation by the Dungeon Master, and blamed this on an attempt to allow for easy customization. The reviewer stated that The Forbidden Vale has the only "story with moral complexity".[2]
