Thunderspire Labyrinth (Dungeons and Dragons Adventure H2)Author: Baker, Richard and Mike Mearls |
||
|
A 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons adventure for characters of levels 4-6 Beneath Thunderspire Mountain lies a sprawling network of mazes, tombs, and caverns collectively known as the Labyrinth of Lost Souls. In recent years, this vast labyrinth has become a living dungeon where trade between the surface and subterranean worlds is possible. However, beyond the well-lit halls where prospectors, merchants, and traders convene lies a darker world where adventurers battle monsters and fiendish beings perform secret rituals for their dark masters. . . H2 Thunderspire Labyrinth is a Dungeons and Dragons adventure designed for heroic-tier characters of levels 4-6. This product includes an adventure booklet for the Dungeon Master, a player’s booklet containing new character options and campaign information, and a full-color poster map, all contained in a handy folder. H2 Thunderspire Labyrinth is the second adventure in a three-part series that began with H1 Keep on the Shadowfell and concludes with H3 Pyramid of Shadows. It can also be played as a stand-alone adventure. |

Who is This For?
Adventures are pre-made stories that the DM can use in whole or in parts, for a game session with the group. Each adventure contains pictures, text, maps, plot line and character/monster information — material a DM needs to run the game. Of course the DM will still need the core rule books and dice.
If you are buying a Dungeons and Dragons product for a loved one, you might consider giving this if:
1.) He or she is serving as a part-time or full time Dungeon Master. The Dungeon Master’s Screen contains the rules only the DM should have access to. Players who have no interest in serving as a DM should not have access to this book.
2.) She is an accomplished Dungeons and Dragons DM in an earlier edition but is now looking to try out the 4th edition rules. The have changed substantially and are needed if she’s to participate in the online component.
3.) He is new to Dungeons and Dragons and doesn’t have a group of players. Chances are he’ll have to be the DM when he brings his friends together to play. This would be a good purchase only if he expresses a willingness to be the DM.
Do not buy this if:
1.) She is certain she only wants to be a player. The role of DM is taxing and requires a lot of pre-game preparation and creativity. Many Dungeons and Dragons players live happy lives never touching the Dungeon Master’s Screen.
2.) He is certain he wants to continue playing an earlier version of the Dungeons and Dragons game.
2.) She is still uncertain if she wants to continue playing the game or not.
Best Use of This Product:
The Thunderspire Labyrinth is primarily for DM’s to use in place of their own home made adventure — as elements a DM can pick and choose and drop into his or her game session. This is an ideal second game for new DMs and players as it requires the characters reach the fourth level before they begin.
