Mini Review: The Trouble Brewing at Witchcliff - Game Pack (floor plan and scenario)

Billiam Babble


Looks lovely doesn't it?  Me wants! Me wants! 

Looks like it only uses black ink as well - "old school" and cheap ink cartridge = double-plus win!

Trouble Brewing at Witchcliff at DriveThruRPG $6.98 / €4,88 / £4.23

(Featured as Sean's Pick of the Day on DriveThru/Fb page)

Quick review part:

Just bought it and am printing bits out - lots of fun putting it together.  The only downside is that the margins might be too narrow for some printers - but since all the pages fill the same width page "scaling" will be uniform across the pack, i.e. the grid will still match up.  Naturally there's a lot of black ink involved, but the final effect is worth it, also you get to save on colour cartridges!  The scenario is larger than expected: 20 pages of Pathfinder compatible adventure (will also work with D&D 3.5). The counters are a nice optional touch - some with art, many blank - with a 2D counters bag as well.


Just add some 6th-7th level characters and Pathfinder (or d20/D&D 3-3.5) rules and you have a complete immersive tabletop gaming experience, similar to any "out of the box" game currently on sale.

Excellent!

excellent stuff, this is the sort of stuff I'd like to see more of - there are far too many CG/Photoshop/Painter produced packs out there these days

I know what you mean.  There is a slight flaw in this set, if you have a big preference on style, as some of the furniture is very reminiscent of house plan technical drawing clip-art found on Apple Macs in the 80s - some of the seats are just too perfect geometrically.  
0one Games have adopted an interesting niche, they sell plans which print in blue ink - which was the adopted colour of the inside cover maps in the TSR modules 70s-80s.  Nostalgia is powerful thing.  
It's a nice set though, good value.  Putting together only part of the floor plan is very satisfying.
