I ran the Cage of Serimet last week with Five Torches Deep. Needless to say, Michael Prescott's adventures are amazing, been following them for a while.

[@bluebotic2327]

Outstanding draftsmanship. Thanks for sharing. Nice to know there's a book out now.

[@igotsmeakabob]

I support this guy on Patreon and when the Kickstarter released I was SO excited- I love his work and being able to support it, PLUS get an awesome book with all of the locations in one spot was something I couldn't pass up. I use most of his locations in my West Marches game :D The book does not disappoint, and the huge combined PDF of all the locations etc. is invaluable. Thanks for reviewing it Ben!

[@sanjeevshah168]

What a beautiful product! I’ve been running the scenarios for my group 5e forgotten realms campaign.

[@BrooksSligh]

I bought a copy off of Exalted Funeral and man I tell you that book is GORGEOUS. Just quality through & through.

[@apepmedia3059]

Thanks for letting me peek inside, I am still awaiting my copy, and now I am even more excited!

[@lukeharris8806]

Got my copy to the U.K. from Exalted Funeral last week....totally worth it - this is a fantastic book and a beautiful artefact rolled into one 👍

[@GrinningAries]

Bought the pdf and very impressed. Haven't had a chance to run any of the adventures yet but from what I've seen so far I'm pleased. Planning on dropping a bunch into my hexcrawl, though the included setting is fairly interesting and unique, and I'd run it if I wasn't already running a homebrew setting in my campaign. The adventures are fairly setting neutral, with a few exceptions, and a few details. A recurring premise in a lot of these adventures is exploring the vestiges of the fallen wizard empires (which are such a common trope I'm sure you could replace his fallen wizard empire with your own). There are fey which seem to be of an undead variety. Certain creatures are specific but generic at the same time. For example, there are "ricalu" which are similiar to goblins and kobolds, and you could substitute them without issue. There are intelligent ogres, which you might want to substitute for another type of giant. Orcs are actually cannibalistic humans with superhuman mutations, but most otherwise brutish and live in small clans and you could replace them in most of the adventures they're used with your own and I don't think it'd make much of a difference. The only real lifting that I think GMs would find with this is there are also some more specific monsters, because this is system agnostic there are no stats for them, meaning you'd have to stat them out yourself, or have to search for suitable existing statblocks of other creatures. But the adventures are worth it. Dungeons are really imaginative and well laid out, each one has so many good ideas. It strikes a nice middle area between weird, high, and dark fantasy, where none of the elements are too excessive, that I find really satisfying and appropriate for my games, and I don't see in a lot of other materials out there.

[@Zenas521]

I like to think of it as a book of side quests. Adventures the players stumble upon and adventures that stumble upon the players.

[@spaceyeti5063]

Hands down the best RPG book I’ve ever bought.

[@EricfromBloatGames]

I was very, very impressed with this product. One of the most useful sourcebooks out there.

[@deadlyDM]

Beautiful. Easily convinced to buy this 5 minutes into your review. Shipping to the States on this hurt a bit, but will be well worth the ticket.

[@ianbothma4210]

"This is a very complete and thorough index... I think WotC could probably learn a lot from that." . . Tea 😂

[@michaelotero4394]

It’s PoD on DriveThru, and the Beastiary for it is now sold with 5e or DungeonWorld stats.

[@ctbutube]

I bought this on your recommendation and I couldn't be happier. What an awesome book! I plan to base my next campaign on it.

[@jacobhouck1182]

Did you end up basing your campaign on it? If so, how'd it go?

[@thenachomancandysavage4074]

Iam going to have to pick this up when it hits print on demand.

[@thessarether3546]

No shipping to Europe? Now that's a bummer. Not interested in buying a Print on Demand version. Very disappointing.

[@awareofvacuity1]

I feel the same from New Zealand.

[@MichaelPrescott]

There will be a small number of extras in Europe in about three months. It's hard to know the precise quantity necessary to fulfil the Kickstarter orders because some are lost or damaged. Once I'm confident that all the backers have their books, I will sell the extras from the European warehouse.

[@awareofvacuity1]

@@MichaelPrescott That's still sad for me in New Zealand

[@MichaelPrescott]

@@awareofvacuity1 Those copies in Europe ship to NZ too.

Yes these Dungeons are excellent.

[@brynjarsigursson4300]

"Ships only to the United States and Canada." :(

[@brynjarsigursson4300]

I don't want the PoD version. So I guess it's a pass for me.

[@JoinMeInDeathBaby]

Here in Russia even the PoD version is unubtainable (

[@aikighost]

Not true, I got it from the exalted funeral website delivered to the UK.

[@jamesc.2054]

Great book. I backed it, and I can tell anyone in the fence that it's absolutely worth the buy. Off topic, but, Ben, have you started using a block bot on Twitter?

[@QuestingBeast]

I don't know what a block bot is

[@jamesc.2054]

Aw sh-- You cut me deep, Ben. You cut me deep.

[@TheChrismhare]

Do you have an email? Or is there a way to send questions to you?

So... Trilemma Adventures, a USA OSR DnD game.

[@Zotob1975]

I won't support anymore a KS that doesn't ship to Europe!

[@MichaelPrescott]

The Kickstarter did ship to Europe, that's in progress now. The limited editions I'm selling from the store are just the extras, and shipping those to Europe is ridiculously expensive. At some point in 3 months time or so, I will know how many extras I have left at the European warehouse (it depends on how many are lost or damaged in the mail), at which point I'll sell those as well.
