I was thinking of writing a review, but you just nailed everything good and bad about this one. I agree, it is very hard to gague the "threat level" of the adventures (what's wrong with a simple XP count?) and some more advice on stringing them together would have been nice.

Let's see...they start in Nuln with Sing for your Supper. Something in the sausage factory points to chaos in a nearby region, and when they get there, they get hired for Love or Money. There they find out that the villain has relatives in Delberz. En route they stop at The Three Feathers and fall in with the Graf. She points them to Pritztock for Grapes of Wrath (she's like their local noble and wants them to inspect the harvest). From there, they head to Delberz and find the truth of the Haunting Horror. The books in the library, they find a hint of another family line, and go off to Carrion Call to finish them off once and for all.

Having scoured the world of undead wizards, they retreat towards Middenheim, and run into a bunch of wartorn villages in the Drakwald, and head on into Paths of the Damned.

Anyway, all that said, I got four very nice adventures out of this, for a decent price by Aussie standards, so good work Green Ronin and nice work again Joe!

You mentioned these in your conclusion and not, as far as I can tell, anywhere else.

He meant adventures.

Yes, good review, with possibly the same Style/Substance marks I would have given it.

Oops, obvious when you say it. Easy typo to make. Thought he meant pregen PCs.

Suspicious sausages? Is this a renamed version of WFRP1 adventure "Fear The Worst", or does it just have a similar theme?

"Fear The Worst" was set at a sausage festival in a small village. That should be enough to determine whether it's the same adventure without giving away any spoilers.

The weird part is that he makes that same error six times. Good review otherwise.
