This is a PnP module conversion of the same name by original author Dave J. Browne. It is the sequel to U1: The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. The little fishing town of Saltmarsh is threatened! Why are lizard men gathering force nearby and why have they been buying large quantities of weapons? A party of bold adventurers must answer these questions or the people of Saltmarsh will never live in peace!
Very enjoyable. Secret monster in ***** was a bit much for our fighter-light group but we got him in the end. Very good adaptations.

Fun module, and kept well with the original material, but unfortunately a bit tedious. Took a long time to find the Chief. The minister didn't give us directions. I understand that you were keeping with the spirit of the original module. You've done a great job in that way, but I am giving the lower vote due to the tedium of sneaking around for the Chief, (I had fun being the rogue, but other party members started to get itchy for a fight and so we occassionally killed lizardmen out of boredom) as well as that the last in the series didn't work for us. U3 doesn't seem to work for spellcasting characters. Even those the first two modules stand well on their own, they are diminished since players can't complete the whole story arc. _________________________ Vault Submissions | Arnheim | Beyond Vives

I find U2 less attractive than U1 but it is more due to the story than the work given in it. The attention put in the details and descriptions is always strong ;) I give "9" for this one. My group of a Warrior, a Cleric-Thief, a Druid and me as Paladin made his way through the caverns to resolve this quest. There are some really tough fights against the Lizards and the Dragon. But on the whole we manage to survive and have a great fun :)

Less attractive than U1 :( But story respected and much work on details :)

Great fun! Good hack and slash in the caves, excellent details in the custom items, and the best part is the way Saltmarsh is beginning to come alive. IMO, this was just as good a mod as your U1. Below, in a very long post, someone describes killing the minister before ever meeting the Chief. I actually met the Chief very early because you provided that handy back door (which I actually found before the front door). But I can see his point. The minister should mention that the PC needs to talk to the chief first. I'm running a monk through your U1-U3 mods and she's up to almost level 6. Tough going early in U1, but she's hit her stride. Can't wait to start U3. I'm actually considering grabbing these PnP mods at the BN site's used book page and calling up my brother for our first session in 15 years!
