I wish that the stat blocks and maps were on separate pages on the physical booklet, the maps aren't the middle pages so you can easily take them out. I had to use the maps on the physical booklet and thenuse my phone for the other bits. Other than that great campaign
A great starter adventure for getting into DnD. Well written and fun characters. Maybe not as romantic as I would have hoped or expected.
Well thought out, simple adventure for two. I ran this little adventure for me and my wife as an introduction for me as a DM. I like that the book doesn't go TOO into the lore and subtly hints at things allowing you to make it your own and fit it into your own larger adventure. I did want to give the player a little more information as far as WHAT is going on so I added an NPC to help explain things and give the player some hints. Overall very fun and it was funny to see what I thought was a fun adventure turn out to be quite scary for my wife to play all on her own with no help. Once we got through it though she felt the reward and loved it. I even added a little item for her as a reward.
Ah I love this. Thanks so much for taking the time to write the review Marshall and I'm so glad you guys had fun!
I also love that you point out that the story isn't prescriptive or giving too much lore. We did that with intent so that you could build it into your own world if you wanted, or so you could change it to flesh it out to be more personal for the player. I'm a firm believer in giving just enough rope for you to tie yourself up with as a DM :D
Super excited to try this adventure out with my boyfriend who's never played D&D before. I love D&D and thought this adventure would be a good introduction to it. Reading through the book, it seems easily doable for me to DM for the first time for him. And I'm excited to have a different type of D8 night!
Just buy a set you want and don't waste your money on something boring and worth third the price you paid...
Hi Daniel - I'm so sorry to hear you weren't happy with the set you pulled from the bag :(
As indicated on the product page (and as you've said here), the mystery bags are not a value-for-money proposition. Dice sets included in mystery bags are literally blind picked from a bin I have of random acrylic and polymer sets. And, in general, they average out to 12-13 EUR in value as most sets are skewed towards the higher value range - hence the mystery bag price. But if you're looking for value-for-money in a mystery bag, these definitely aren't for you.
For any customers reading this review, if value is your biggest concern when purchasing a set of dice, please do take Daniel's advice and grab the set you really want and don't take a chance on a mystery bag. Mystery bags are a lot of fun and a lovely product, but they really are for a particular customer!
Beautiful booklet, nice story with room for the DM to add a little spice. Can't wait to lay out the table for the night!
Not only did the diced arrived quite late despite paying for faster shipment but the customer service showed no understanding nor willingness to compensate the few extra euros I payed for quicker shipment. I was told I was paying for the tracking information (regardless that there was a specific shipment time stated and the dices two weeks after that arrived) and that also didn’t work properly. Now the dices prints are off and slightly damaged. Because my friend sitll wants to keep them as a birthday present, I won’t ship them back. But I for sure won’t order again.
Hi Pauline - I'm sorry you're not happy with the dice set. The designs are water transferred onto the high quality polymer, so they can sometimes be slightly off center. I can see you said your friend is happy with them, but if they hadn't been I would have been happy to accept a return on those. But I'm glad they like the dice!
Regarding the shipping situation, as we mentioned via email we're sorry to hear that the package arrived later than our estimates, but as our shipping policy clear states, the delivery times given are estimates only and never guarentees. As such we cannot offer a refund. :(
D8 Night is a well put together little adventure which is straightforward enough for an inexperienced DnD-er to run. My partner DMs regularly and it gave her a nice opportunity to relax and roll dice.
Good quality and very pretty :) sadly shirts can't be returned if its the wrong size :(
Read through it, haven't played it yet. Well actually... I tried DMing with ChatGPT as the player just to get a sense of the flow... it was decent at roleplay but not very creative in finding solutions. I look forward to running this with an actual human as the player who might pick up better on hints towards other available actions.
The four tasks were interesting and each distinct from each other... I would have appreciated more background story for Anterosa to help with roleplaying. Thematically, being the god of requited love didn't fully dovetail with the story arc or suggested dialogue. I suppose I can elaborate on it on my own, but I would have preferred more guidance. What is Anterosa's interest in the player? Is there supposed to be romantic tension between them? The endings too disappointed somewhat as these questions are not answered.
Overall it's still a well designed adventure and well worth the price. If I can update this review later (after running it with my partner) I will.
Just received this item and I must say it is a beautiful product! Extremely well
Made with love and care. I’m so excited to run this with my wife!
Brilliant dice, loved the weight and feel to them. My wizard tracked the ley lines of magic and the stars so it was very fitting.
Only reason not 5 stars as the finish had little scuffs off some of the print but nothing major to request any form of support.
Very surprised they didn't melt on the way in this HEAT we have had recently. They look amazing!

Really excellent dice. They function as dice, and have great aesthetics at the same time!
I am so pleased with these. I can hardly wait to use them.
The faceted crystal d20 is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I kid you not, I just sat there giggling giddily, whilst holding it in my hand. Even the box was beautiful. I love it.
Such a perfect game for a D8 night! Was a very good story with well thought out plots!
Chose this to be my partner’s first ever rpg experience and we had a great time. Solutions require critical thinking, each area has its own feel but doesn’t overcome its stay.
We especially enjoyed Ms. Fritz’s section. I did not use the maps, however looking through them, they look fantastic.
I would absolutely recommend this for someone looking to run a one shot with their partner.
It contains everything you need, has a nice design and doesn’t cost much
I've never DM'ed before and wanted a one shot to run with my partner to try it out. It was pretty short (he's pretty experienced) but I love the pacing of it. It can definitely be a bit longer depending on what the player does. Having different endings is fun. They also tell you the different ways things can go. Worth the $9 for a one shot session.
