Blizzard Pass - your experiences?

[Quasqueton]

Forty-second thread of a series on the old classic Dungeons & Dragons adventure modules. It is interesting to see how everyone's experiences compared and differed.

Blizzard Pass

Did you Play this adventure? What were your experiences? Did you complete it? What were the highlights for you?

Wow. I think this is a first. No one played this one? I beleive this was the first solo adventure module published by TSR.

I played it, or at least part of it way back, but I don't remember anything about it.

Shall I open this thread to discuss *any* solo adventure module?

I remember skimming through it in a store, going "meh", and buying something else.

good call. I got it for free at a used bnook store since they couldn';t figure out what to charge for it. And I still don't like it.

I found this at a friend's house a few weeks ago, and tried to play through it. Alas, the pen no longer worked, and many of the paragraphs that were visible were too faint to read. I know there's a project on the web that has some of the paragraphs written out; does anyone know if it's still being maintained? I typed up the visible paragraphs in my book and e-mailed them to the guy, but there's been no reply.

I used to have this - I'd forgotten all about it!

Yeah, it was pretty lame really - mostly a bunch of low-mid level ice-themed monsters (I think ogres played a role, as did ice wolves).

You got to play the solo in the typical "If you do this turn to paragraph xx" system, except that in this case you used a specail pen to reveal the text. At the back the adventure was laid out as a standard module for group play and it took about three pages (including one for the map), which tells you how un-complex it was.

I really don't recall any features of the adventures (which is rare for me). I think somewhere you could fall down a chute into a remorhaz lair, but I could be wrong.

I played it a long time ago. I remeber it being railroady, even for a reprogramed adventure. It really would have been much better as an Endless Quest book. The brief write-up and map after the adventure would be OK as a low-level adventure, but nothing special.

as a kid I never had anyone to play D&D with so I really enjoyed this solo game. But a computer RPG game is better then this.
