As far as I'm concerned, The Village of Hommlet is the classic introduction to AD&D 1ed. I cut my teeth on this when I was 12. Now I play periodically with my wife and my son, we take turns being the DM. This was a good adventure for a new DM. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: It is nice that there is a village for more free-form role-laying & a dungeon for more straight-forward play.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: As a player, I'm not sure what motivated us to go the the ruins in the first place. A nice subplot in the village would have been nice.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

My 11-year old wanted to try to be DM. This was a perfect module to let him do. The adventure is divided up into smaller "chapters." The story is straight-forward, but still interesting. We used it to start a brand new group of 1st level characters, that meet in the course of this adventure and now are moving on to bigger challenges as a team.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The "chapter" format kept the story moving along w/o being too restricting.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
