I love this module. It's everything an introductory module should be.

I own the original C&C print version, but also picked up the 5e conversion in PDF. This modules is very reminiscent of introductory modules of old like T1 Village of Hommlet or B2 Keep on the Borderlands. The parallels between Hommlet and the Moathouse are striking, but that is not to say this isn't a fresh take on a classic RPG trope.

It has a main town with description of a multitude of NPCs. Many of the NPCs also have some other minor hook described where the detail is left up to the GM to flesh out. They are a great source of inspiration for any GM building up a "starting area" for any campaign. The module also describes the surrounding environs with a few encounter sites (aside from the main dungeon). There's enough detail for a GM to make this town the basis of a new campaign, but without over-explaining or giving so much content that a new GM might be overwhelmed.

Lastly, the main dungeon is just the right size. It's not so large that if feels like a slow, grindy dungeon crawl, but it has enough meat to keep the party busy for a few sessions. I honestly can't say enough good things about this adventure. I really couldn't come up with any solid "cons" that weren't just nit picks.

If you are looking for a new low-level setting to start a campaign, you absolutely have to pick this up. Even if you never run it, it is full of great ideas and hooks that will inspire you when building your own "home base" village for your campaign.
