I really like the balance of the different elements of this pdf: The history of the spider wood is a good read and generates lots of ideas, but as a gm, you are not drowning in too much detail and get lost in walls of text. The "hard crunch" like monster stats, random tables and new - really specific - paths is really good, but not too extensive either. Like other products of SotDL, the setting is not totally fleshed out, but carries a lot of ideas to improvise with. The setting of the spider wood is pretty much self-contained - though there a some connections to other SotDL prodcuts - and therefore is highly portable to other systems and worlds. That said, i like that i get an all-inclusive package with stats etc. as a gm and dont have to work on that part of the game myself.

This is a solid adventure, well written and really user (=GM) freindly. The price is fair and i think u can play 2-3 fun sessions with this. I only gave it a 3-star rating because i think the other nights black agents publications are way more interesting and creative. This is totally ok, but nothing special.

I really like the morally tough decisions the party has to make. It also contains a lot of little really clever weird elements. The only negative pint are the maps, which are atmosspheric, but not user friendly.
