This is the first module that I’ve ever purchased and so far I’m not regretting it. When I tried importing the oneshots into my existing campaign, I love that it creates its own standalone folders that make organizing easy. There is one little typo in Dib’s Impregnable Fortress, but that’s easy to fix. All Maps have handy notes, actor-linked journals, and all the tokens in the right places. I can’t recommend this enough, especially for DMs like me who have little time due to work. Maps have beautifully embedded notes that look like the ones in DM maps in the books which are invisible to players. Pretty good safety net if you haven’t prepared anything. I can’t recommend this thing enough.

While I appreciate them making a foundry version, this product has A LOT of issues
First, it’s a pretty sloppy foundry port. The walls align poorly with the maps, some maps do not have the necessary tokens (like the very first one is missing a cart token), and more issues like that
Second, the balance is just awful. The first adventure says a party of level 1s. The second encounter has 5 CR 1/4 and a CR 3. This is a >2x deadly encounter, it is basically impossible for a level 1 party to do this. Kobold club rates this as a feels deadly fight to even a party of 4 level 4s. Ensuing one shots are not much better.
Lastly, as far as one shots go, they aren’t particularly well written. They’re basically just, go here and fight this. At that point you might as well call it a map + token pack, not a one shot.
I cannot recommend this to any DMs looking for one shots.
