Review of THE TROUBLE WITH FRIENDS

This 72 page perfect bound book contains 4 adventures that can be played in series or alone with any FRPG rules although the mechanics for the Hahlmabrea game are provided throughout. They provide a good balance of combat, thought over action and NPC interaction. None of the adventures are epics but the elements of enjoyable adventuring are contained in each. It is easy to read though no where near as fun as the Aliens supplement reviewed above.

The book starts by detailing a criminal organization, the Winged Dagger, that plays a supporting role in each adventure. It then describes an area tavern, High Spirits, because we all know that's where great adventures begin and end. The adventures themselves are as follows:

-The Terror of the Mines, a dungeon crawl that is more and less than it seems. -A Penny a Day, featuring highly varied NPC interactions and a seemingly ordinary coin that affects a region in a very Sienfeld-fantasy magic kind of way. -Carts, Horses, Sore Feet and the Princess, a diplomatic mission, a war and an unlucky princess make a cake run seem mission impossible. -The Secret of the Ksrand Mountain, ancient mystery to unravel.

All good stuff. I do not know the cover price, I have seen it available reduced to as low as $1. It is worth the price of any other roleplaying module of equal size, do not fear, purchase it.
