Rating	User	Summary
3 + 1	kafka	. There is a suggestion of artificiality or lack of authenticity that flows throughout this adventure that is hard to put your finger on. Ultimately, I this is a Call of Cthulhu scenario played through a D&D lens – and if that is your technique of play – you will like it. However, if you are more of a purist or even if you play a pulpish Call of Cthulhu, there is going to be much that you are going to find that you do not like about this adventure. I do hope that Open Design will go back to Call of Cthulhu RPG and to some of the more successful licenses such as Pagan or Pelgrane Press to use how Cthulhu scenarios differ from D&D less hip and more anxiety. That said, Open Design have done an admirable job in layout and art that one hopes to see more of which unfortunately does not make up for what this adventure lacks. [ Read Review ]
