This review is for the Vaults of Volokarnos adventure.

Set in a crumbling Greco-Roman style burial complex, the dungeon has that old-school Judges Guild vibe that the author is so skilled at evoking - almost an homage to Caverns of Thracia. Lots of pools, fountains, statues, tombs, puzzles, etc to engage with, along with a good mix of undead guardians and raiders/robbers. At 52 rooms, is expansive enough to support multiple forays, and foster sense of scope - it’s just big enough to get lost in.

Ideally suited as a campaign-launcher for 1st level characters. Presents some tough challenges, but they can often be evaded, bypassed, or overcome with quick thinking.

Three out of give for the content. Thorough, but pretty dull treatment of Greyhawk. Adventure hooks are lacklustre. I know 2E books of this era weren't exactly crackling with originality and inspiration, so this book about met my modest expectations.

One out of five for the scan. Several of the pages are missing content from being cut off, including the excellent regional map (the main reason I bought this PDF), rendering it largely useless. For the rest of the book, images bleed through onto the already muddy text. Cannot recommend.
