This is the module that made me fall in love with Greyhawk. I was all of 12, 13 years old when we played this. The history just drew me in. Lost spaceship the II Redraw just stuck with me forever. It's a well I've gone back to time and time again.

I almost went with the old piece of 1e art, "A Paladin in Hell."
