	“The Hammer of Thursagan” is a very well-made campaign. It’s intermediate level, but I think novice players wouldn’t have problems with it. It has great variety of scenarios with different scenario objectives. It has good storyline and well written dialogs with no mistakes at all (only one grammatical mistake noted in Bugs). It has no major bugs or glitches - just small problems mentioned above.		“The Hammer of Thursagan” is a very well-made campaign.
