Quick review

System: Dungeons & Dragons (Basic)
Recommended for: Short adventures, classic dungeon crawling

Castle Caldwell and Beyond is a collection of five short adventures, covering everything from clearing an occupied castle to rescuing a kidnapped princess, escaping an enemy prison, and recovering a stolen holy relic (this one is probably the best of all five). The first two scenarios form a connected mini-campaign, while the remaining three are independent adventures. A very straightforward pick, each adventure offers a different objective and is short enough to be used as a sidequest or part of a greater campaign.

B9 Castle Caldwell and Beyond is availble on DriveThruRPG in PDF and print-on-demand.
