PuddleJumper

Mehso-so

I am finally able to review this! I‘ve been running the campaign for close to two years now and we‘re going into the finale in July (which is not in the book). I replaced the Icewind Dale setting with Eiselcross from Wildmount. Nothing major was changed but I thought I‘d mention it.

PuddleJumper This cannot be run as written; it is a poorly conceived adventure and needs a lot of help from third party material. It felt more like random encounter after random encounter rather than a complete adventure. If you are looking for snowy side quests or ideas then grab a few from here and re-jig as necessary.

PuddleJumper Ten Towns is problematic. I would grab either an expanded version of them or write your own as some of the stuff included in the book did not make sense or was unnecessary. Looking at you incest town.

The middle part has nothing to do with the main plotline. It‘s essentially a side quest to grind levels. The players had no motivation to engage with it. It was mostly dungeon crawls, fortresses, nothing unusual or special.

PuddleJumper My players had a lot of fun in Ythryn, though mine was Aeor and I took a lot of inspiration from what was done in Critical Role. They did not enjoy hitting specific locations to find bits of poetry. Again, they weren‘t fully interested in the plot.

PuddleJumper There were fun elements but get third party stuff to help restructure it and make Auril an interesting BBEG. Her stat block was a joke. If your characters are level 15 when they encounter her, she won‘t be a challenge at all.

PuddleJumper The art work was amazing. I loved flicking through this book because it was so colourful. It does add depth to a tundra/snow setting, the monsters are fun, and you can transplant the dungeon crawls into other settings. The maps were really good as well so the locations could be useful in other campaigns.

PuddleJumper I would definitely run it again but I would make changes before we even start.

Also, if your players/characters like animals ignore the awakened animals part because that is all they will focus on.

(Not sure how to attach a photo in Canva) but for my next #Book20 read I got a nat20. That means my next book is Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. I didn't expect to be jumping back into horror but I'm sure it will still be refreshing.

In a nutshell: fantasy suitable for people who like the fantasy genre but struggle to read it.

RA Salvatore's writing is engaging, and he doesn't bog it down with unnecessarily lengthy descriptions - great for someone with ADHD (like me). The descriptions are easy to visualize, and the fight scenes are easy to follow. While Drizzt can be frustratingly naive, it's difficult not to like him, and the environment around him keeps you on your toes.

GUENHWYVAR

What eyes are these that see
The pain I know in my innermost soul?
What eyes are these that see
The twisted strides of my kindred,
Led on in the wake of toys unbridled:
Arrow, bolt, and sword tip?
Yours… aye, yours,
Straight run and muscled spring,
Soft on padded paws, sheathed claws,
Weapons rested for their need,
Stained not by frivolous blood
Or murderous deceit.
Face to face, my mirror,
Reflection in a still pool by light.

I‘ll have to wait until tomorrow now

📚Currently reading:

📕The Goblin Emperor
📕A Storm of Swords
📙Lord of The Necropolis
🎧Emma
🎧Night of the Hunter
🎧 Gods of Jade and Shadow

Progress:

Overall a slow week reading, even if I stayed on track for daily readings. I finished The Martian! That was pretty great. I started another Silvia Moreno-Garcia novel and am already loving it.

I can't wait for my hand to heal so I can read in bed again.

Doppoetry I want to get back into Drizzt/LotN but for one I can't draw yet (due to my hand injury) and for the second book I am either tired or can't focus on the other.

Still, I am slowly working on Emma (5 chapters at a time seem to be accomplishing good chunks of the book)

I can't hold the physical book for The Goblin Emperor thus I haven't made progress with it since the last time. Still a favorite though.

A while back I bought books 9 and 10 of The Legend of Drizzt series (I thought I would be reading them sooner, but my TBR got away from me). At the time, they only had those older copies on the left. And as you can see, I‘m collecting the newer paperback versions. I finally found the newer ones for book 9 and 10 and I‘m so happy! Time to sell/donate the older two 😁
