3.0 out of 5 stars I've never run this adventure successfully..., November 2, 2001

It's not a bad adventure, but I've had players who totally despise it. I never got around to playing the second half (Curse of Tsathoggua), but Trail of Tsathoggua is railroad city. It also suffers from a miserable payoff -- the investigator's think they're gonna find a lost city and end up with a tiny little temple.

I had one player tell me "I hate this game, I hate this scenario, it ...!" Still feel bad about that. Although, I have learned to GM a lot better since then.

I never ran the title adventure in this collection. The second adventure is, simply put, the best haunted house scenario in the rpg realm. Run properly this setting will creep everyone out and keep them all guessing. The history and details in the adventure are exceptionally well done. The nice thing about it is that the scenario and clues can easily be adapted to most any rpg system.
