![]() The magic ink pen will most likely not work since the ones I tested were dried out and did not decipher the boxes that needed to be colored. They are needlessly short Fighting Fantasy style entries, which are fine for that series, but when a player is more used to the immersive experience, it falls short.This module is new in box but the shrink has been damaged over the last 34 years. Now, this could have been counteracted with more colourful descriptive writings and interplay with creatures encountered, but none of the modules have taken this route so far. Your choices become limited out of necessity and you lose the interactions. Whereas the solo modules are written more like gamebooks. Also the seemingly limitless amount of choices that format suggests. Reading several of these D&D solo modules, I've come to a few conclusions as to why they don't seem up to par.įor most gamers, they will have already played a live session of D&D, with the immersive experience of (hopefully) a colourful, descriptive dungeon master and interactions from other players.
