Great adventure you can play in a session (or maybe two). Not quite the full five stars as it is a bit railroady - the characters need to be in the location and kept there for it to work. Still, a great romp with a good mix of fighting, investigation and diplomacy, some interesting and reusable NPCs and a big bad that is horrific, pathetic and sympathetic all at once, which isn't a bad trick to pull off.

This is the module you need to grab if you're thinking of doing a 1 session one-shot. It all starts and ends within a single building in the city of Ubersreik. It's ideal to hook new players, since after finishing you can jump in several directions, either by having them play the Starter Set Ubersreik content, Ubersreik Adventures I and II, or even Rough Nights & Hard Days or Enemy in Shadows.

This review contains minor spoilers, though no specifics, for elements of this adventure.

An excellent one shot adventure or one-off segment of a sandbox game, or any urban crawl with a focus on Ubersreik. There are elements I have minor issues with -- namely, the lack of a player map -- but a little bit of photoshop, a blunt MS Paint retexturing, or a copy of the GM map without the Key alleviates this easily enough, and this is still my favorite of the Ubersreik Adventures despite that failure.

The NPCs are an absolute joy to play with well enough defined backgrounds and motivations to inspire a good night of game with threads that might bleed out into a larger game if you'd want without much GM input. The lack of combat, save for the final confrontation, also helps inspire the closed room mystery element and remind players that the Old World shouldn't all be bloodshed and violence on a PC level. The confrontation is malleable enough due to the Warhammer world's inclusion of mutants and wild methods of mutation that you could, as I did, turn her into something more harmless and blind in her hunger rather than the actual villain at hand if your players truly despise combat as a whole.

This is a must-have adventure for any GM running WFRP 4th Edition!

I actually ran this module today. Was looking for a story to try out WFRP 4e with some new players and set them in Spittlefeld after i saw this yesterday. We did really enjoy it. It can be completed over the course of one session and as a one shot you can serve the players the "you were just looking for cheap lodging and ended here"-plothook. The NPCs were a joy to play and very entertaining while the setting itself is bleak and threatening, which really evokes this particular Warhammer vibe. Can recommend this one!
