Merric's Erratically Updated Reviews of old D&D adventures

[MerricB]

I have never read or played this module.

From your review, it sounded like the first half is not an adventure at all but mere narration, by the GM, of events that occur to the PCs? Is that right?

Not quite. It has chances for the PCs to think they're interacting with the story. It's not "they get captured" it's "they get a chance to fight, but they'll be captured no matter what they do."

Cheers!

That does sound awful.

To cheer myself up, here's a review of one of my favourite D&D Basic adventures:

B6: The Veiled Society

Cheers!

This one is for one of the best of the line...

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I've been rather distracted this year by all the reviews of 5E adventures I've been doing, but finally, here's another classic adventure review.

B7: Rahasia

Cheers!

Hmmm... I don't think I've ever played or read this adventure module. I'm going to see if it is in my stash!

This one of the few modules I have played, we couldn't afford many and boy many made it to our local retailer here in NZ. Most of our money went to rule books and setting boxes. I DM it, but I must have changed out a lot cos it ran pretty different from your review haha. It was fun, but then again teenage DnD didn't have any non fun times

Thanks Merric, I'll pick this up from dndclassics for nostalgia if it's there.

I'm sorry - I had to review it...

N2: The Forest Oracle

Cheers!
