At a time where Dungeons & Dragons releases have become more dull and streamlined, it's refreshing to see an author pour so much heart into providing a rich setting for fans of AD&D. Fans of gothic horror will rejoice in this suitably creepy setting by Mr. Graboff. The backstory information is as fleshed out as you would expect from a high fantasy novel, and the artwork featured throughout is the sort sorely lacking from the cartoony later editions of D&D. Avid gamers will easily enjoy numerous sessions from this module. Hopefully there is more to come from the author, and the 10th age.
