Yep so basicly what the title says, the ones i have on my list of reviewing currently is :
I'll add the names as i go through them, but if you wish your list be added, i'll gladly trade
But i make no promises!
Disclaimer: These are are based upon personal experiences with foundries/ your foundry. Do not take my scores/ratings personally. Because they are not, I just try and give each of their own a fair score based on my previous foundry experiences.
NW-DP88JMVEP Dorinton artifact - Great, truly great puzzle foundry. Not for the feint of heart - I will probobly keep playing it until i finally solve that puzzle myself. Interesting story, and a nice warmup to send you off.
NW-DALRKD3F5 Immortalis This i've posted in the creators thread, It goes further indepht.
NW-DRFKYD2CN - Return from The Void - Truly one of the best foundries I've played, but there are reasons I gave it a 3/5 - Mostly because the humour broke the immersion of the otherwise great story for me. There where wierd dialogues that pointed towards modern wordings, R&R, "nuke her", Lorebomb. - But the Aidan mode gave me a chuckle. - The details and story is great, the enviroments are awesome. All in all deffo worth a play. But if i would be a real critique and not give it a personal rating, which i normally do. (The critique rating.) I would give this a very strong 4/5.
It's just that the humour did kill the immersion for me that much, and the music changing all to rapidly. Then to just silence.
NWS-DQS27OINC -Heeding the Call
First off, I loved that pig.. love it lol
So I gave the quest a 3/5, that being said I did really enjoy doing this one more than most. It's kind of unique, and I did play this without a mount on my lvl 10 BWF. It's in need of polishing and perhaps adding details but, with that said. It's humour/story and calm pace was a truly welcome change amongst many quests. I can see this becoming a 5/5 with work added to it. The lack of music and certain details was noticable, but the rest weighed up and made it worthwhile.
NW-DNA6IVAK2 -Withdrawn? Moving on to the next.
NW-DKG9XVYI7 - A Hero's Adventure - This is is abit different in a good way, I enjoyed the story in the quest, the details are well placed out. Still I don't consider it a Hack'n'slash. - And that's a good thing imo. I would give it a 2.5 or 3/5, It's a good and solid foundry quest. And it's obvious the author has spent time improving the quest further after a few playtests. Will finish this another day, other things call my attention. But I will finish it, and rate it as deserved. It's a long quest but a well made one. ( But this quest is making it hard to be completed, I just don't know where to go and when.)
My panther however, did enjoy the company of your dear character
NW-DDMY3WOTA -Descendent of Simon, Part 1. - This is a decent quest, though in need of serious polish. If updated I might consider replaying it, but as it stands now i probobly wont. - Spammed webs across corridors, not rotated/or moved to avoid repetetive visuals. The story is -okay-. No real challenge throughout. I gave it a 3/5, but.. It's for those hack n' slashers out there wanting no challenge or thought put into their hacking. Where it me, I'd rate it lower.
NW-DQBGVHH7V - The Dark Garden - Need more work on certain details, too many FX working as the fog. Killed my FPS. - Decent story, encounters not really offering a challenge. But decent quest, not bad at all.
No code yet - Mage Masher
Well crafted, and well balanced quest. Nice story/mystery and a good eye for details/envirotment. Though perhaps a duo or hard difficulty for solo players would be good. Atleast on the final battle. Was abit too easy imo, overall a strong 4/5 - The text ran out ingame review, I'll add that that 4, might turn into a five with the party difficulty. ( Foundry limitations probobly being 3 players or so but, still. ) A foundry is always more fun with more than one player. )
NW-DPSH5O5XY - Darkly Dreaming (Now Live) Dreamscapes campaign, will follow the same suit as before. - Rest of the parts set on hold until i can make a lap.
Part 1 - It's.. Too Short(This is not a bad thing, I did not consider this in my scoring as bad.) - As in i enjoyed myself quite alot. The combat was non-repetative, the story decent. But what made me enjoy myself was the small details, like ordering a "Gargle Blaster" Detailed enviroments which I enjoyed as well. All in all worth a shot, I gave it a 4/5. Had fun doing it and can see myself playing it again... I do enjoy those Nightmares
NWS-DOF3BARMD - The Dark Creed. - The story in this quest/campaign is okay, except for a few pointers. There was a certain NPC which just walked away from me, now this can easily be worked out with a reason as to why I would let him just leave. Something that keeps me from just attacking him outright. I did miss a few dialogue options here and there, and even if they are put there as an illusion it does add to the experience as a whole. The enviroment was nice, though I'd like to see more details be added. The sewers felt so, so clean - The fights where fun, and the encounters where nicely placed. (But lower the fog in the farm room, It killed my framerate.) Gave this a 3/5, Worthy a playthrough, and more if the author updates/builds upon the map.
NWS-DKR9GB7KH - The Fenwick Cycle Campaign? If so will follow suit of other campaigns. Not searchable, withdrawn?
NW-DM5LBGKPL -The Ruins of Whitlock Tower - I'll start of with the negatives. It's in need of alot of polish, the teleports are a game mechanical nightmare. - They also need to add a tooltop saying something, perhaps being Mysterious? Or anything. - I did find it amusing in a GOOD way that I died by just trying to use one. ( But i thought that I've missed a tooltip, went back and no tooltip. )
I really miss the music I must say, you have really one of the best fighting scenes I've scene, mostly because I had so much fun playing a fight where I had to manage and think for abit, Not just run through it all in one go. - I actually earned potions during your foundry, but the fighting is awesome.
There are some nitpicks here and there but, as i said just need to polish and update it, If you do, I'll most likely replay it.
I did love the sky in the woods though, but equally did not enjoy fighting "Thug 1,2,3 and 4" If you catch my drift. 3/5
A short Dig - NW-DA8O42CFF - Great quest all around, though the lore nut i am, I do want to see a House name on drows, atleast if you place a Matron mother in it. Great attention to details/enviroment and music/ambient sounds. Overall the little story there is, well doesn't take away that much from the quest. Well balanced encounters, not too easy nor hard. 4/5
The Lost City - NW-DMFGWPBN3 - Interesting quest, though wished the final battle would last longer with all the work put to get there. The Lucky Patron gave me a chuckle. I Enjoyed the Inn and the dialogue there. Also details here and there, but would like to see more. Good and well made quest. 4/5
And here comes a worthy screen of a well crafted Drow entry point.
To avoid spoilers, Picture
The Dragon Sisters - Part 1 It's okay. Nitpicks here and there that build up. It just feels, kind of rushed. (With this short a quest, you could add more encounters and focus on that, to make it more interesting as a starter quest.) - Because it is so short, it didn't really leave an impact with me to continue on. ( I will though but i've set campaign quests order as is to avoid flogging up the others' quests. ) Some people might approve of a very short quest though. Also perhaps add interactables to add to the story, to let people interested in the story look those up, while players playing it for other reasons may just as well continue to do so.
The Tale of the 3 Suns - NWS-DA9XX8WIV - Part 1 This needs alot of rework, but the last boss looks awesome. Details lacking, oddly placed details in the 2nd area. I'll just leave it at that. 2/5
The Legend of Khyber - NWS-DK33EIYMY Part 1 - Too short in my opinion, the fight was quite fun but I am the nemesis of Wave counters. The clock ringing as the book said, was awesome.. But then I saw the counter, and I really dislike wave counters. There's no need for them, the immersion i felt from the clock ringing, was gone because of that.).. Also a floating door. (Mind I tend to avoid nitpicks, but. This quest was so short, so can't have much oversight with it. ) Overall a fun quest, worth a try if you are into short quests. 3/5
Visiting Skyrom- NW-DOV9PBWPQ - This game gave me a smile or two while playing, I didn't take it seriously as i except it shouldn't be. But to make this a worthwhile quest, one needs to put more effort into it. Merely being a parody of a great game doesn't cut it. 2/5
The Village on Ebon Lake - NW-DQ3S67EKX - This one is simply put awesome. It captures the Lovecraftian spirit quite well, but also takes you up on a decent story. The encounters was easy, but I for one would love a slider perhaps at the end boss? It wasn't as interesting and rewarding as playing through the story/quest itself. Though this one I would personally want to rate 5, but gave it a 4 because of the final encounter, and that it was a bit short in someway.. Hard to pinpoint, but not far from a five at all. I will replay this one more, i'm sure of it.
Taking a break now, the reviewing is done for now since no further posters have requested it. When I go for another run I will continue on the campaigns i've started.

(I'm planning on adding some text to my second mission making it hopefully more clear that you don't have to go straight through the forest. I was too cryptic.)
Wicks and Things: NW-DI4FMZRR4 : The Fenwick merchant family has lost a caravan! Can you help?

NW-DM5LBGKPL
Is the second part soloable? And if so can I play it without having played the first part or would I be lost? I am kind of unable to play the first part because I play alone.

The first part is soloable, many encounters are avoidable. - There is one, certain hard battle in the goblin caverns. But this I let the player figure out on his/her own. I've soloed Part 1 with every class, It has worked fine. But the GWF having most difficulty pre-patch atleast.
But I placed Part 2 in Part 2 for story reasons. You need characters you know, and perhaps recognize/relate to when you enter a dream or nightmare. It was the only way I could make it.. Workable. And I've could probobly have made part 2 alot longer but, I did not want to pad it out with areas and generic dialogue.

I'll check into those two once I'm done with the others, the list is growing lol
- List updated accordingly.
