8 / 10FlexiDinosaurs, pirates & ruined temples! Very good starter module for wilderness adventuring. Useful but rather basic maps.
8 / 10ghost-angelThis was one of my all time favorite adventures ever as a kid. This is one of the adventures that hooked me solid as a gamer.
7 / 10SleeperSailing across uncharted seas, seeking an unknown land. Strange cultures of new and monstrous beings, and lost civilizations. Dinosaurs, and the things that eat them. Deadly natives and pearl diving. Less a plot-driven adventure than a wide-open mini-setting jammed with everything the authors thought was cool.
6 / 10owe for the fleshA dungeon "walled off" by water instead of stone. Still, its a very nice product, with lots of potential.

3 + 4Hektor BimX1: The Isle of Dread. A combined review of the old module and the revisitation in Dungeon Issue 114. Both are well-done and useful, but the changes made in the new material don't seem useful or improving.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
