Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2001

The Underdark Holds Many Secrets

A series of earthquakes and eruptions have rocked a normally placid land. Strange creatures sighted in the dark of night raise fears across the already disturbed countryside. As tales of a lost race that once warred with the drow begin to surface, only the boldest adventurers dare to descend into the shadow darkness.

Deep Horizon is a stand-alone adventure for the Dungeons & Dragons game. Designed to challenge 13th-level D&D characters, it presents a long-forgotten civilization for heroes to discover and save, if they can.

To use this accessory, a Dungeon Master also needs the Player's Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide, and the Monster Manual.

2.0 out of 5 stars It probably looked better on the back of a napkin, November 8, 2001

This review is from: Deep Horizon (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying Adventure, 13th Level) (Paperback)

This flavorless effort from the Wizards team marks the low point of the 3rd ed. D&D showcase series. Essentially a collection of sketches, the module serves little purpose beyond bulking characters up to 15th level. This is the worst sort of dungeon crawl; imagine your party wearing ties and carrying briefcases, and you can almost see them collecting their paychecks at the end of the day and returning home to watch TV and read the paper. Think of it as the salaryman adventure. The shame of a single-star rating is averted by the inclusion of an interesting new race which can be put to good use - in a more enterprising module.

1.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment at Best, January 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Deep Horizon (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying Adventure, 13th Level) (Paperback)

This adventure seems hastily written and hastily put together. It lacks a real adventure hook and is basically a collection of encounters. And it's boring. I would have given it two stars for the interesting race of bat creatures within, but one of their special attacks lacks a DC, so even that isn't done correctly. Another annoying thing about the module is that it contains magical solutions for current technology, such as SCUBA gear. Super lame. This is a lackluster effort and a real disappointment from Skip Williams.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's not as bad as they say, March 27, 2008

This review is from: Deep Horizon (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying Adventure, 13th Level) (Paperback)

I've never head anything but hate for this module, but after reading it I think the haters are wrong. It has an interesting ecology, and well-developed new monster species (which has since been reprinted in a monster manual, but it was a good addition to the game at the time). The intrigue between the flame salamanders and the bat-people is fun, as is the murder plot by the rival adventurers.

I plan to use the loose, somewhat free-form encounters in my present underdark campaign. I'm pleased with this adventure, especially at today's prices.
