The Realm Review:
Few modules leave so
much work for the DM when it comes to setting the atmosphere and developing
encounters. Swamplight provides a skeleton of an adventure, complete with plot,
villains and major enemies. From that skeleton, it is the DM's job to create the
presence of the swamp, to add flavor and varied encounters that will keep the
PCs jumping between the major events.
Realm Rating: 2.5/5

You'll never believe it but I finally got
to play this design all the way through without my machine freezing up.
YEAH!!!! My party finally finished their Eastlands tour by bringing a missing
statue back to the village. Their patron deity's statue had been stolen and we
had to track down the foul miscreants and retrieve. Interesting interaction
with various swamp creatures makes for a thinking person's game. Don't pick the
obvious choices.

I finished Aerie of the Slave Lords and
Swamplight yesterday. :-) I thought they were both great, in their own ways…
…As for Swamplight, I didn't find any bugs. ;-D Everything worked out
fine. Except maybe those Fog Giants. Damn, they're tough. :-P
Looking back, I think it could have helped
if you had used dungeon modules instead of the overland map to get to all the
encounters, the same way you did in Keep on the Borderlands. Oh, well. I'm not
really complaining, and hindsight is 20/20.
Thanks again
