My memories of this are rather fond. I have both played in it and DMed it. In 1983 in JH School, this was the very first AD&D module I ever played in. Up to that point I had played Basic and Expert D&D, until I joined with a small group that played AD&D. That was quite confusing. One guy from the AD&D side of things had a fighter with an 18/00 Strength, while I had an Elf with an 18 Strength from Expert D&D.
I remember the first run of the module being terrifying and quite epic. The terror was fostered due to the fact that the DMs younger brother had somehow gotten copies of the Monster section, and was totally using that info in Game. Of course, we didnt know that those Demon Princes werent in the adventure, but that didnt stop the younger brother and myself from jumping to conclusions about the content of the adventure.
Needless to say, every time we got teleported to the demiplanes, our imaginations got the better of us.
I remember the Vampire Daughter of Iggwilv just about killing our whole party, but we were saved by a henchman. We had great arguments after the adventure about who would possess the Lanthorn and other items.
Later as a DM, I ran the adventure in a mini-campaign tied into the Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun and later delving into the GDQ series.
