Summary

Candlekeep attracts scholars like a flame attracts moths。 Historians, sages, and others who crave knowledge flock to this library fortress to peruse its vast collection of books, scribbled into which are the answers to the mysteries that bedevil them。 Many of these books contain their own mysteries—each one a doorway to adventure。 Dare you cross that threshold?

Candlekeep Mysteries is a collection of seventeen short, stand-alone D&D adventures designed for characters of levels 1-16。 Each adventure begins with the discovery of a book, and each book is the key to a door behind which danger and glory await。 These adventures can be run as one-shot games, plugged into an existing Forgotten Realms campaign, or adapted for other campaign settings。

This book also includes a poster map of the library fortress and detailed descriptions of Candlekeep and its inhabitants。

A generally very good collection of adventures; short, easy to drop-in, and simple enough to be modifiable。 However, there was a slight "samishness" to some of the adventures - too many "these people are not what they seem to be" with some of the "villains", etc。。。 So pick and choose what you like but be aware you will not likely want to use every adventure in the same campaign。。。 A generally very good collection of adventures; short, easy to drop-in, and simple enough to be modifiable。 However, there was a slight "samishness" to some of the adventures - too many "these people are not what they seem to be" with some of the "villains", etc。。。 So pick and choose what you like but be aware you will not likely want to use every adventure in the same campaign。。。 。。。more

Excellent book for when you need a smaller adventure to toss at your players。 Can work as one-shots, starting adventures to further campaigns or just for fun。 Very inclusive too, always a plus。

Richard Burley

Well crafted adventures that can be used in a variety of settings。

Really cool collection of stories, though some have a far stronger narrative drive than others。 Will hopefully run some over the course of the year and maybe give it a final star depending on how good the players find it。

Jonathon Moore

More like tales of the spellbook collectors。。

Done for now。 Will return when I have local DnD players for this again :) Overall - fun setting, more of a quirky open-but-bounded environment that can hook into many worlds; feels less violent and more "escape room" esq with sufficient creepy vibes1 - creative premise and setting, bonding environment for new players; encounters could be more unusual/surprising but the elements for making them more that way are present2 - fun opener, backstory is oddly specific and complicated, could be simplifi Done for now。 Will return when I have local DnD players for this again :) Overall - fun setting, more of a quirky open-but-bounded environment that can hook into many worlds; feels less violent and more "escape room" esq with sufficient creepy vibes1 - creative premise and setting, bonding environment for new players; encounters could be more unusual/surprising but the elements for making them more that way are present2 - fun opener, backstory is oddly specific and complicated, could be simplified or adapted - would fit better in Eberron; like that it could be resolved peacefully, don't really like that the majority takes place outside of Candlekeep3 - raven drop-off clutch, treasure map A+, planar travel is cool, mystery is kinda meh but it has the elements to be really interesting4 - good old diary about an abandoned town, with villagers disappearing in the night; simple but this leaves room to ham it up with horror stereotypes 。。。more
