The Haunted Manor: A Vaesen Mystery in Review
The PDF is bookmarked with major and minor sections linked. Navigation is good. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. Other than the cover, there is a single illustration. Presentation is okay.
This adventure is focused on investigation, rather than anything else, though there is a final confrontation. To settle both the main conflict and subconflict will require the characters to uncover the right information. This isn’t that complicated an adventure, though there are lots of things that need to be uncovered. The Haunted Manor: A Vaesen Mystery can be found by clicking here.
