Shades of Gray

I bought this on a whim a number of years ago but never got around to using it until last year when my niece asked me if I could run a 5E campaign (we are still playing in it as we can only get togethdr every 2 to even 3 months over a weekend). So I finally dusted this off but it wasn't long into my preparation time that I came to the conclusion it probably wasn't what I hoped it would be. I think it's strongest aspect is that you can cut and paste what you find works and leave the rest alone; and I had to leave a lot untouched. Basically I used the very early part as the major hook and I am utilizing the main plot but I found myself having add a great deal of my own ideas. Here is what my opinion is concerning this product with the understanding that DM's are all different. YMMV.

  1. The edititors needed an editor. Seriously the amount of minutea describing the plot and supporting details is very burdensome. It often felt like I was reading one long run on sentence. In can get very sloppy in layout. Which brings me to...
  2. The maps are very poorly placed. I have one other Necromancer PDF and in that one all maps are at the end for the DM's convience. But in Shades of Gray many of the maps are in the body itself and often only a third in size of a standard 11x5 inche sheet of paper.
  3. Since it is 3/3.5 you have to do a lot of conversion and I understood this when I bought it but I didn't do enough research because Necromancer set it in their own world and the amount of modifying to make it work was a significant undertaking.

This may very well work for you. But as you can tell not so much for me. Therefore I can't really endorse this module.
