The Prisoner's Dilemma is a very enjoyable scenario to run as a Keeper. The players who I have ran it for so far have also enjoyed it. The overall idea is well thought-out, and it's easy enough for Keepers to set up quickly and run. The author provides ample amount of information (backed by research). The handouts and maps are numerous and useful for creating a more immersive game for players. I especially appreciated the PDF having a TOC with clickable links to make searches faster as well as a scenario flowchart (brilliant!). It is easily adaptable should you want to trim it down for time's sake or change a few minor details to suit a particular preference.

The only modification I made was to create pre-gens who were related and/or worked together. This usually helps new players connect a bit faster, especially when online and they have not played togther yet.

I recommend The Prisoner's Dilemma to both new and experienced Keepers.

I played in this and it was a lot of fun. The premise is PCs go to a prison and what's a prison without a prison escape? Explore the creepy prison as you try to figure a way out. Things get worse and worse, but you have to continue exploring or else you don't escape and things don't turn out well for long term residents. The descriptive text is well written. There are helpful hints as to how to run it. Character portraits and art are consistent and have their own style. Module is a well executed survival horror scenario. The only thing is I would add some creepy prison guards and / or nurses and doctor. Some of the areas are eerily empty and adding a prison guard or nurse would pump up the tension.

T. A. Newman's first published scenario, 'The Prisoner's Dilemma' is a testament to its author's dedication. It is a juicy piece of reading, greatly complemented by Holly Chadwick's apt horror illustrations. The props, created by PropsWithInkDrops are on point, and Eon Images' work makes the plans of the HMP Dartmoor look like the work of a professional architect's office.

Newman's writing style is evocative and has an horrific flair that will help players and Keepers alike in depicting their environment. If you are fond of 'boxed' text, you will find that most of the map entries come with an abundance of them. As a Keeper, I'm more of the 'paraphrase it' school, but I still have to tip my hat to the work and love that went into it.

There are some very strong horror scenes, notably the original and varied depiction of creatures, and these made me shudder deliciously.

I'd have liked a page-by-page layout instead of a double-page one, however. It would have greatly improved PDF readability for me. Mind you, the map folio probably explains the author's choice of layout.
