Daniel has crafted an intricate yet pleasantly simple adventure that captures many of the elements that I remember when I started playing. Second edition had just come out but damned if my older brother was going to buy new books... So despite it being the late 80's we played a lot of old stuff and I got my first taste of playing the same bland fighter before I knew what I was doing.
This adventure does a great deal to try and replicate a lot of the same feeling that the game had back then without the clunky rules and the "rocks fall, everyone dies" feeling that sometimes existed. The adventure is set in the Forgotten Realms but can be changed to whatever you need it to without much fanfare as there's only a few specific references to FR material.
All my players made it out alive, but not all of them were concious.
