In this rare 2-for-1 review, I look at the first two parts of The Legacy of Zandrax, a D&D campaign that presumably starts at 1st level, and includes at least one additional part before concluding. I’m just as frustrated as you are by the vague structure and lack of organization, yet there are some undeniably amazing ideas found in these pages.

After reviewing Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft and its included Horror adventure, “The House of Lament,” it’s starting to fee like Haunted Manor has become its own subgenre of D&D Horror. On one hand Manor of Dread is Yet Another Haunted Manor Adventure, but it also includes a beautiful layout, full color map, and far bigger and more frequent combat encounters than the average haunted house.

Traveling between more exciting locations is often left to a montage of descriptions in D&D, punctuated by the occasional random encounter battle. Encounter supplements are typically full of battles and mini-quests, but Campfire Tales specifically provides non-combat encounters that focus more on role-playing and world-building.

Might vs. Magic is an adaptation of the classic Might and Magic computer RPGs… — bah, I wish! It’s actually a player supplement featuring 14 new subclasses themed around high-magic worlds,  including martial classes with anti-magic traits and abilities, as well as expanded counter spell rules and spells, and new magic items.

After reviewing or previewing Encounters in Candlekeep, Encounters in Barovia, and Encounters in Saltmarsh, I’ve become very familiar with Christian Zeuch’s Encounters series. While Encounters in Icewind Dale offers the same high quality production value and 20+ regional encounters, it’s also the weakest of the bunch.

This review contains spoilers for Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden!

The Onomancer is a 60+ page supplement that features a full level 1-20 class that introduces an all new way of casting spells. By learning and calling out the true names of people, places, and things, the Onomancer can invoke spell-like incantations at-will, creating a powerful and flexible spell-caster.

For most of my life I wasn’t big into the horror genre, but in recent years I’ve grown to admire its creative storytelling – even if I still can’t muster the courage to play a horror video game. But horror is an excellent genre to explore with D&D, and Weeping Walls effectively checks all the right horror boxes to recreate a modern ghost story in under 20 pages.

The adventure includes the following content warnings: domestic violence, suicide, and body horror.

With our own Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign firing up this week, I’m very interested in any content geared toward Icewind Dale. With its focus on Giant runes and an entire magic system of Runic Invocations, Legends of Frozenfar: An Icewind Dale Player’s Companion may be more suited to Storm King’s Thunder than Rime of the Frostmaiden, however.
