Praise for the Original Road of the Dead

“It is a well-devised and beautifully-presented dungeon crawl, with a coherent underlying rationale and plenty of exploration and combat to challenge the most determined adventurers. Moreover, it is not – as so many such adventures are – very linear, the characters have quite a lot of freedom in where they go and what they do whilst exploring the depths. There’s an excellent atmosphere of treading ancient halls that have not been disturbed for countless generations… and even some follow-up activities if desired.”
