One of the finest thinking modules ever produced and still a favorite after all these years. Convert the stats on the fly and watch your players actually think their way through encounters. After all the hacking and slashing, this is guarenteed to take characters to the next level.

Remember Tomb of Horrors? That kill all the PCs or at least frustrate them adventure? Fun for the DM, well written (for its time), and very creative. Unfortunately, no player ever liked it. Same goes here. I DMed it and thought it was a great adventure, when I read it. Unfortunately, the PCs skipped out on the adventure about half way through, and simply went back the way they came. They became overly frustrated with the puzzles, and I had to drop too many hints. For use only with experienced players.

I've been playing D&D for 20 years and ths is the worst module I have ever played. It is utterly terrible. Simply flush your money down the toilet; you'll have more fun.

Baba Yaga is one of those mythical D&D characters that has been mentioned in publications almost from day one. The uber powerful crone who cheats death by consuming the souls of others. One of the most powerful beings in the multiverse. This module brings her to life, detailing at great length her evil practices, with one soft spot that makes her almost redeemable. This should be quite the challenge for any gaming group and can be easily placed in any campaign setting. I use Greyhawk, where she was initially conceived, but i can see an easy transition to Forgotten Realms and Eberron in particular. Your players may almost hate you as the glance furtively at their character sheets hoping upon hope that they can get out of this one.
Enjoy!

I have both read it, played in it, and DMed it and enjoyed every part
