I decided to run this adventure for my group as a one shot, although I already figured it would run longer than the 4 hours I had to run it. I read through it and found it to be very simple, clear and full of potential but was not overwhelmed by it. In many cases, when I read an adventure that is like this, I end up totally changing it and adding stuff to it that sometimes changes the total feel of the adventure. I did not do that to this one. I tried to subtly come up with ways to enhance it. I felt that the adventure started out a little too slow and needed a little spice in the beginning. The nice thing is that throughout the adventure, there are subtle hints towards ways you can spice it up. I think that was intentional.

My group (who had never played in this setting before) really grasp the feeling of the setting and this adventure exemplifies a lot of the setting’s core concepts. I was really concerned that even with my subtle changes, the adventure would be too slow for my group. As it turned out, they had a blast. Even though I did not get to the end, I do like the way the adventure ends and gives the GM opportunity to jump off into a campaign. I had actually planned not to go to the complete ending but stop just before the very end to leave the possibility for a campaign based on the quest of the adventure (the search for a Nightroad Jumpgate key).

My only complaint with this adventure is the beginning, which is fairly slow. But slowness is a very relative thing, different from one game group to another. What I like about it is that it can be customizable without changing the core storyline, and the writer lays enough hints and ideas to help you along that way.

Full disclosure – I did not run this with the base Victory Point system. I used True20. So I cannot comment on the stats of the adventure, but I did like the flavor text for all the NPCs. I usually skip that but for some reason I did not this time. There is a lot of little ideas you can draw from just that text, so I highly recommend reading that as well, even if you don’t use the stats.

Nice, slim adventure. Far better for an introductory adventure than the ones published with main books (1st and 2nd edition). Although it's quite simple it's well polished and offers a good insight into Fading Suns universe. Thumbs up!

I have to give thumbs up to this shard. It's got enough direction, back story, and stats to make a GM's job easy and the story compelling, but enough is left open to allow for lots of flexibilty and to coin a phrase, "make it your own". I especially like the ideas at the end of the shard about some possible alternate plot twists and side-stories to give a GM further ideas. I plan on using one or two myself.
