I don't think this review is very helpful. Reviews are a place to find spoilers, not avoid them. I want to know exactly what's in a module so that I can see whether I want to buy or run it.

Overall, it's too brief and vague to be of any use as a review.

I agree. I'm thinking about running this module sometime as a break from an ongoing Arcana Evolved campaign, and I have to say I'm not terribly enlightened as to whether that would be a good idea or not

I third!

What I would like to know additionally is if the module can be used for GoO's GAME OF THRONES.
I really would like to kick off a campaign in Westeros, but lack the time to do all the work myself and can't find modules that fit the mood and setting. The dragon-theme here sounds nice, though.

I'm in the minority apparently, as I was just thinking about how refreshing it was to read a review on RPG.Net that I could actually finish

The review could have, in the same space, provided a bit more content/spoiler data as mentioned (perhaps at the expense of the flavor text) but I would have preferred no more than one-two paragraphs added. Most reviews on RPG.Net are so bloody long that I doubt anyone except for a handful of die hards have time to read them in depth.....I am one of those for whom a "cliff's notes" review of the product will suffice.

When A buddy tells me he had a great night with the gal he went out on a date with.....I am fine with the generalities, and do not need a blow-by-blow recount of the entire evening. Such is the way with my reviews, as well. So with that, I thank you Anthony for making the first review on RPG.net in a couple years that I could read in full without skimming for specifics lest I shatter my keyboard with my forehead in a fit of boredom!

Given that it's for Iron Heroes, I'd say that there's a fair amount of conversion involved if you want to do it for AE.

I suspect the conversion to Game of Thrones would also involve some effort....Iron Heroes is mechanically a bit more funky, imo, than other traditional D20 games.
