The use of these monsters was creative and, within the context of the game, a bit groundbreaking. There’s no real sense of threat from the Yuan-ti, and there’s oddball things, like Hobgoblin monks, tossed in seemingly at random and out of sync with the established setting standards.Īnother area of monster use that went okay but could have gone better was the addition of a set of monster NPCs, specifically a Grung, a team of Weretigers, and a village of good Yuan-ti. The reason this didn’t get bumped up into the “What Went Well” was twofold. Likewise, the Grung get a decent amount of attention. In ToA, the classic (if underutilized) foes of the region, the Yuan-ti and undead, finally get some love in these adventures. It was fun to read, and I imagine, would be crazy fun to play. The only thing I was impressed by was the dinosaur racing adventure, mostly because it broke from the mini dungeon-crawl pattern happening elsewhere. The eight adventures I read didn’t significantly improve or add to the sub-setting of Chult. More has been released, but we have a new baby so gaming funds are limited. These being A City on the Edge, Over the Edge, A Day at the Races, A Walk in the Park, Whispers in the Dark, Fester and Burn, Rotting Roots, and Putting the Dead to Rest. For ToA, the AL material is still being produced, and for the purposes of this review and analysis I read DDAL07-01 to DDAL07-08. While I stand fast on my DM Guild works position (they are not canon), AL is canon, and deserved a full examination with the same critical eye.įor those not tracking, Adventurers League is the official organized play apparatus of WotC. At the end of it, a reader pointed out that in their experience with Adventurers League (AL) material, that some of the issues I had taken up were expanded on. Thousands of words in, and with dozens of research hours burned, the end result was a three-part series which can be found here.
