I'm pleased my folklore name-dropping didn't go unappreciated by everyone.

Re: The Old God’s Return
Just ran this module last night as a zero level funnel with 7 players (3 zero levels each at the start). I beefed up many of the encounters, to make it more challenging for the large party. Through correspondence with the author, Mr. Curtis, I decided to tone down the number of sovereign fire points per character, since there were so many of them. I had each PC receive a d10 roll to see how many points. In the end, most of the party leveled up to 1 just before the end game, which made it a little easier for them to win, but there were still some surprise fatalities at the end due to some bricked saving throws. Overall, it was a lot of fun. Two of my players were first time DCC RPGers...and they both loved it. A great time was had by all, and we were able to finish it in one session.
It is another awesome adventure from the mind of Mr. Curtis!

Re: The Old God’s Return
On its merits as an adventure, this is my favorite Michael Curtis adventure for DCCRPG so far. I like the unity of it and its theme.
However I was unhappy with my purchase, because of its small size at only 8.5" x 5.5". I like the typical DCCRPG adventure size and dislike anything as small as this booklet-sized adventure. I like the DCCRPG illustrations and like to see them at a size I can appreciate, here they were half size and the details are less clear. I also like having a good amount of information on a page, here I had to flip pages or squint. I do not understand the decision to print this adventure as a booklet. This adventure is the same price as a regular adventure and for that money I expect a regular-sized product. If it is less than 16 pages at full size, then it is less than 16 pages.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I happen to prefer digest size. So I guess in the cosmic scheme of things we strike a balancekvezner wrote:On its merits as an adventure, this is my favorite Michael Curtis adventure for DCCRPG so far. I like the unity of it and its theme.
