Genre tags: Fantasy
  • Softbound, Two colour maps on inside covers, B/W maps throughout the adventure.
  • OVERVIEW: The story begins in the City of Greyhawk where the party has a chance encounter with a pseudodragon. This encounter pulls the party into a adventure that spans two wizard towers and a trip to the moon. Some old faces make appearances in this adventure one being the lost wizard Tenser. The adventure goal is to rescue Tenser from Luna (moon) and stop the invasion of Oerth from the gate created by an old nemesis.
  • PROS: The content of this module is great. The background information on NPCs will allow a DM to flesh out some of the lesser known NPCs within the world of Greyhawk for his own campaigns should he desire. The adventure had a story feel making it a easy read through (although this will affect game play, see CONS). This product is a great accessory for information. If your group isn't high enough level for it then use it as "background noise" for your adventures explaining the return of Tenser.
  • CONS: This product should really have been made an accessory.   I loved the content but the story was so scripted. Most players will probably step off the beaten path of the adventure. This is bad since there is a time limit placed on the adventure. The beginning of the adventure could have been better planned. I realize that they person looking for help at the inn is tired but dropping a pseudodragon on someone's head to avoid this type of beginning is silly.

Style: 3 (Average)
Substance: 4 (Meaty)
