Ruins of Greyhawk comparisons go, the basic layout of the towers and dungeon levels seems very similar, as do some of the more memorable dungeon features. Unfortunately I don't have my copy on hand so that's the best I can give you at the moment.Fortunately it bears no resemblance at all to the 1st Ed. Castle Greyhawk adventure!</blockquote>
