Spiteful Springs (Zathras Adventures)
ACKSII adventure for four to six PCs of levels 1st-3rd
I am reviewing these in the order they were submitted. For my review criteria, please check out this post. All reviews will (probably) contain *SPOILERS*; you have been warned! Because these are short (two page) adventures, it is my intention to keep the reviews brief.
More ACKS. Yay.
This particular author does not seem to understand the concept of "useable adventure design." We do not have numbered or lettered encounter locations; instead everything is word salad ("tepidarium," "palaestra," "lower tunnel") said place names being spread over SIX PAGES OF MAPS. Yes, Gibson's rules dictate that a MINIMUM of one page of maps be included...but, personally, I feel that giving THREE TIMES as many pages of maps as text is kicking the spirit of the contest in the teeth.
Plus, this technically has ZERO "keyed locations." Disqualified.
