Once again, a most enjoyable game. The DM's playing of the NPCs is a real joy; they come alive and create a really involving atmosphere. Thanks guys and gals :)

A most enjoyable game. The DMs jumped from NPC to NPC at just the right times and made the NPCs really come alive. I enjoyed the interactions with the DM controlled NPCs.

Lots of fun--giants, a dragon, treachery, treasure. I didn't realize that a monster's strength could be modified for a lower level group. We had many more players than the ones signed up. It would help to get announcements and accepted applications done sooner.

Glad to see that the DMs take such great care in their sessions. Would love to see more interactivity when using certain emotes as in *Listens to the door* or *Peers through the gate*. Other wise Excellent staff of DMs and look forward to playing all the time.

This is a world where I am feeling extremely welcome. The DM and players all work together to make a wonderfully believable land with much to learn and discover. Also, my character is being recognised as a Giantslayer now, so it can't be bad.

This adventure has a nice plot, but I don't think it is well balanced in terms of difficulty and party level. I am excited to see dragons, but the character is not yet ready. Also, only three party members really held thier own against the giants we faced, though we did OK as a party. The plot is alot of fun, and I want to see more of it, but the action is too difficult for such a wide range of levels.

I think there was too much of a spread between levels. Some characters were cutting down enemies like a hot knife through butter, while others were struggling. But, with more people joining the campaign late in, I can't see what the DM can do. As such, this is not a comment aimed at the DM but newcomers - try and play as often as you can, including out of session, and catch up levels fast. This was still a great game though, no doubt about that.

Loved the green goblin inn section but it really only involved a few characters. The rest of us waited outside trying to figure out what was happening.
The Frost Giants/Dragons are still very hard for the party. Soon though.

Overall a great adventure. I thought it started great, and things were tied together very nicely with the main plot. Overall, I love having characters of all levels worked into the adventure, but I do think the adventure became far too difficult at the end, as many of the characters would die from a single blow of the monsters. Scouting and better team work would have helped, but it just felt a little too difficult at times, but the story, NPCs, and overall play was lots of fun nonetheless.

Very nice adventure. Good combat, good plot, and the NPCs were fun. I like the little hints about what may be coming next. And the dwarf king was incredibly well role played :)
Good job setting the difficulty so that a wide range of characters could play together and everyone feel useful.

There's no way i can fault this game. Extremely well- thought out, everyone had some role to play. Every single fight made us all feel it could be our last (And my healing skills were put to the test after every encounter).

Mindolana's games are fun! They are balanced enough to support a huge disparity in levels among the party members, and Mindolana drives a storyline. The DM interaction is always in character, and drives the plot without spoonfeeding the characters a list of standard tasks to be accomplished. The characters have autonomy, and Mindolana has the creativity to generate new interwoven plot threads on the spot based on character decisions.

Mindolana did an outstanding job of running the game. She was very helpful in getting me into the feel of the campaign. Her use of NPCs was good. Fights were well-placed and balanced for the group.

Plotting was great, especially considering that the DM had less than 24 hours to come up with a way to permit us to work out an unexpected conflict. I'm looking forward to many more great episodes.

A very well run adventure. It is not easy to have a 1st level character adventure with an 11th, but the DM was able to hold everything together and have everyone be useful. All situations were solveable, though things got dicy quickly if the party acted rashly or didn't pay attention.
The NPCs were well done, and the conflict was well done two. I'd definitely enjoy seeing more of this plot.

I truly enjoy this ongoing plot. This was a well run game, and though there was a large disparity in the levels of the characters who partied with us - and many newer characters did join in without having signed up - play went smoothly and there. I don't know if that's the DM's or the party's doing though - it was a well organized party this time, and though we ran into some big nasty monsters - (packs of dire and winter wolves, troll mages, succubi) - there was not a great deal of dying going on. Just the right amount as characters meandered off on thier own or whatnot. Very cool monsters.

A very entertaining session. It is always good fun when a large party (I think we might have had 8 members at one point) can travel together and be reasonably effective. Very good work by the DM to have that many players all able to play together and perform well.

A lot of fun, as always... though this one was a little tough. The low level characters were a little outmatched by their foes. Still lots of fun, and a good ending, fleeing all the way back to town chased by hoards of undead... hard to believe the party made it back alive, but it was an invigorating survival.

I hope my review was fair. Only played for one hour. But I liked what I played and If I had the time to play some hours Im sure it should be some real quality-time.

Best game that I've played to date, the players were great, the dm was superb and the story was enthralling! It was amazing how Mindolana controlled the web of connected plots with such ease.

But remember to give credits also to Onda who was the other DM and has built this world :)]

It's rare someone can run an adventure with a large group of characters of such varying levels (3rd-9th I think), and have everyone able to contribute and accomplish their goals.
It started a little slow and confusing, but picked up some speed, with a big finale battle, setting the stage for part 2. Great job!
I do have to say that you showed extrordinary patience letting some players take pot shots at a dragon... I might have toasted them, except it might have meant a little too much carnage for the rest of the party....

The creator and DM's of Area 32 are the best! There is always a new twist, another facet and some interesting bit of information to discover. Plus they have a well of unending patience with players that kill NPC'sd that hold a key bit of info. I tip my helm to all the terrific folks at Area 32!

The DMs were extremely welcoming and didn't lose their patience even though I was such a big noob. Players were friendly, not one disrupted the game in any way. Will definately hope to play this server again.

A very good session. I like having to try and figure out what to do and where to go, and it is fun wandering around the steading. Finding the secret doors and exploring the treasure rooms and the caverns is great fun.

I love the Hill Giants setting, but it was a tough session this time. Enthusiastic 1st level characters are difficult to keep alive. Makes fighting a choice between killing the enemies or protecting the little ones... and then there is the whole staying alive part. I look forward to trying again with a stronger party.

Things keep getting better and better. A great adventure so far, and good job finding a ballance between the mixed level party. The engine makes it difficult sometimes, as some of the spawned monsters are a little difficult for the lowest level characters, but you do a good job of helping them recover and keeping things moving. You do a good job of keeping things fair, but not letting anyone off the hook too much for doing something foolish.

The campaign keeps developing nicely. I love the game world, and the different roles of the NPCs... everything seems tied together nicely, in a way that keeps you wondering who is involved with what.

Wow - well done! It keeps getting better and better. This was a well balanced game, despite the varying levels in the party we managed the challenging fights, with difficulty, got through and had a fun time doing so. The evolution and development of the plot over makes this is a fun long term adventure.

I really like this plot, and the game design. This particular session had an extremely harsh penalty for mistakes, and with the variety of levels in the party, it proved too much for many of the characters. If we hadn't made the mistake (firing an arrow into a horde of things), we may have been more successful. The adventure is very well designed, despite that.

This was a great adventure. I like the way the plot is developing, and it is always fun to go stomping back in the caves.
You did a great job of setting things up so that a mixed level party could survive (well, the druid had a little trouble, but it worked well)
Can't wait to see what happens next.

I had a great time... It was a little tough travelling with a group of such diverse experience (especially through the difficult woods areas), but the plot is engaging, and the setting is wonderful. I am very eager to see what happens next.

This is my first time playing online - it was a good game to start with. I was confused at times, but really attribute that to my unfamiliarity with playing online. I get a real kick out of the variety of crafts in this module - and the way they are woven into the plot. Very good work!

Good spin on otherwise available material from the module. This was a short adventure but interesting. Varied range of NPCs (old man, hunter, halfling and even a deer using emotes)

Very nice world, and good adventure. The options available on the server are great, and the environment is very detailed. The GMs run a good game, with lots of investigation and exploration. The only downside is the server is a little unstable.
