There is a lot of reading and a lot of auxiliary detail which may or may not interest you. I estimate the play time to be between 10 and 30 hours depending on how long you spend exploring.

Maugeter is a low-level, low-combat module set in a unique fantasy world. It is a classic tale - you are a nondescript child of farmers who has travelled to the big city in search of adventure, or money, or fame, or power. The big difference is that you are not the foretold one, there's no prophecy and you won't be saving the world. This module is about exploring, meeting interesting characters and adventuring within an imaginative high-magic, low-fantasy urban setting. No one is going to tell you that all their hopes rest with you, because they don't know or care who you are. The city is bigger than you.
The setting is the grand city of Maugeter itself, the most powerful city in the whole Realm. On its grey, rain-drenched streets people of all races - humans, elves, orcs, ogres, dragons - pass by under the stern watch of the implacable, faceless city guard. There is adventure and fortune to be found here, but the city is unforgiving to strangers and Maugeter isn't known as the city of law for nothing. The city is strictly divided into districts by heavily-guarded walls, and a visitor's first challenge is to even get inside by finding one of the passes necessary for entry.
Maugeter includes customised items, monsters, races, feats, skills, spells and familiars. Everything that can be altered has been altered to better fit the setting, although always keeping the spirit of the D&D rules in mind. One of the module's most outstanding features is dreaming - sleeping isn't just a way to regain your spells here. Originally conceived as part of a series, Maugeter has been rewritten as a complete low-level story with an actual ending.
Maugeter includes many new character creation options. Please see the readme file for more details. The module includes four henchmen, up to two of which can be included in your party at once.
