The Shardsfall Quest
You Can Save The Planet
A moon meteor streaks from the sky, shattering into multiple pieces
as it enters the atmosphere. On each shard is part of a mysterious temple
dedicated to a lunar god. You must locate all the temple fragments before
whatever's inside can spread. But the fragments are spread over a wide
area - and you're not the only one looking for them...

EN
World, staff reviewer Joe G. Kushner: 4 stars. "The adventure hits
all the points it needs to and it doesn't push the characters into a long
dungeoncrawl where the only differences between the settings would be the
monsters. By allowing the players to interact with the different factions
and test their mechs in combat situations that shouldn't be lethal, the
author allows even standard characters that don't take full advantage of
the Dragonmech setting elements to thrive... If you want to see how a Dragonmech
adventure should start, Shadsfal Quest is almost a textbook example of
what elements to include. "

Silven Crossroads: "The Shardsfall Quest has the looks and the brains of
the best d20 adventure that I've laid eyes on to date. That's right, I'm
calling you all crazy if this adventure is submitted for nomination for
the 2005 ENnies and you, the judges and readers, don't give it the gold.
There's nothing revolutionary about the adventure--it is simply very well
produced, has great pacing, and is the first long adventure I've been able
to read from cover to cover without falling asleep. This book is a real
treat, check it out."

Look -- a lunar asteroid has fallen from the sky, and there appears
to be something inside it!
Uh oh. These lunar monsters are nasty!
Just when it looked like we'd cleared out the lunar temple, the mechs
showed up...
