Me han molado mucho las referencias a Kafka y a Shelley, después de que en el primero hubiese al Fausto... muy disfrutable leerlo y sobre todo jugarlo

In many RPGs a player will often say “well that’s what my character would do” and then it’s bad consequences for everyone. This campaign is a bit of an opportunity for the GM to say “well that’s what the world would do.”

The adventure is fun and the players sometimes get to be heroic but also get to be a piece of the setting as a whole and face some entertaining but also very grounded setbacks.

Most of the strength's and weaknesses of the previous volume, which means a pretty good adventure overall. There are more female NPC's this time around, with the eventual big-bad being a woman. Still a bit of old school railroading here and there, mostly in the more recent addition (late 90s) of an adventure that destroys the PCs barge to force them to go to Middenheim. There's a a lot of discussion wasted on ways to accomplish this when the focus should be on giving the players reasons to go to Middenheim that don't punish them with GM fiat. Fortunately, there is at least a little time spent discussing what to do if the players' boat isn't destroyed.

That's a minor issue overall in what is another good installment in the Enemy Within campaign.
