If you'd like to point to some contemporaneous glowing reviews from a source other than Dragon Magazine, I'll wait.No one is claiming that it was universally reviled at the time. Instead, as many have pointed out, many people who were aware (or even vaguely aware) of what was going on did not like this module at the time, at all. No one that I know of considered this a good, or classic, module. I would further say that because the people who were more involved in the hobby at the time tended to be the people who, you know, kept involved, their opinions about the module became more of the settled wisdom. So the "settled wisdom" about the module definitely steered toward the hate. To the extent where you have people who look at it now and don't understand the hate because (not understanding the context) it just looks like a run-of-the-mill bad module.But if you have a hill you want to die on, you and your bard army are welcome to occupy it.</blockquote>
