Adventure Reviews

This article is about the EAG newsletter column. For assessments in general, see review.

Adventure Reviews, later titled Eamon Reviews, is a newsletter column that featured regularly in the EAG's Eamon Adventurer's Guild Newsletter, appearing in 50 of the 55 issues from June 1988 to January 2004. The column gives short summaries of adventures and assesses them on their quality and difficulty. The newsletters include a total of 226 reviews, most written by Zuchowski, which cover the great majority of the Eamon corpus. The column was continued in all four issues of the subsequent Eamon Deluxe Newsletter.

The equivalent column in the earlier Eamon Adventurer's Log from the NEUC is "Spotlight On".
