Edgewater
by phoneixmclBefore starting on the reviews I am posting info on Edgewater. (Dungeon 41 Woodruff/ Beach "A Way With Words" TSR)
Edgewater
Halfway between the Melinir and the East Drake River's delta to the Black Swamps lies the small town of Edgewater. Peaceful and quiet the town is centred around its most distinguishing feature, a library. This library was built by an order of monks known as the Kohlorian Brotherhood Among Bards and scholars that seek the tomes held within the libraries studies Harfur Glumtoes, a gnomish archaeologist. About two miles north west of Edgewater lies Rhiannon the bards playhouse. Rhiannon lives in a circular house build around a large oak. Rhiannons taste for the dramatic have left her songs depressing and unpopular with critics and the citizens of Thunder Rift.
Please note I will not be rating any of these reviews because I strongly believe that an adventure is only as good as the players and DM make it. The following info will contain spoils out of need to give DMs an idea before they purchase the product. If these reviews need more info please tell me. I will keep this format so that fans can know what they need to before buying or breaking that seal on almost 20 year old stuff.
