I like to call this one “Return to the Isle of Dread” because that’s how they hooked me into this one. I completely missed the Shackled City adventure path and got in late on Age of Worms so I’m interested to see how this plays out from the beginning.
My first D&D purchase was the Expert Rules, which contained the original Isle of Dread and once baseball season ends, I’m going to do a Blast From the Past on this one. I know that’s a month away, but I’m really limited time wise, both playing and writing, during baseball season but come winter, I’ll be getting back to a more regular writing schedule here.
Anyway, Savage Tide takes you to Sasserine, a very interesting port city. There you help out a noble and take down an evil guild in your first step towards the Isle of Dread. The magazine comes with a cool fold out map of the city and an adventure that should take you through about third level.
There’s also a high level adventure that continues the Maure Castle line. I don’t have the older Dungeon Magazines which have the other two installments so I really didn’t get into this one too deeply.
