Reviews
Prince of Nothing has reviewed the book on his Age of Dusk blog and writes that "This is a low level adventure that feels exactly like an S&S short story without employing too much railroading." He continues: "The gameplay isn't quite OSR dungeon-crawling, the dungeons are far too small for that, more like Tradgame dungeon-crawling only with the requisite secret doors, poison needle traps, pits and hidden treasure to make it instantly recognizable and digestible to fans of OSR games." And concludes: "An adventure of such marvel that if it were written with a needle on the corner of the eye, it would yet serve as a lesson to those who seek wisdom."
This adventure has also been reviewed as part of the collection "The Spider-God's Bride and Other Tales of Sword and Sorcery".
