Finally! The ultimate Greyhawk dungeon crawl - huger than the Temple of Elemental Evil by far - this epic was printed for only a few months in 1990. If you didn't get it, it was never reprinted! This is the COMPLETE adventure throughout the Ruins of Castle Greyhawk itself - for levels 2-15 and beyond! You get: over 900 detailed dungeon chambers, complete with monsters, traps, and treasures, on 26 different dungeon levels (no, I'm not joking!), 8 pages of monster stats, and 26 full-color maps! Dare you enter the tomb of the Arch-Magus Zagig himself? An unspeakably huge adventure that will keep your players occupied for years (my group literally spent hundreds of play hours here!). Highest recommendation.

A simply marvelous set of dungeons. Three ancient towers are represented here. Each with their own challenges to present. The tower of War. Very dangerous but accessable at reasonable levels, 5-7. The tower of Zagyg, extreemly dangerous. I recomend keeping low levels far away from this place. Very challenging for levels 11-14. The tower of Magic, a challenge at any level,and dangerous at every level. All in all, extremely fun to play! Enjoy the chaos!

This book is for the dungeon and dragons game work of grayhawk which was discontinued due to internal politics of the old Tsr company which is being re-released by wizards of the coast TSR division This module consists of a dungon crawl in the ruins of the old grayhawk castle and is sutable for partys of 3rd or higher but to finish the module I would sugest at least 16th this module can be use as a Keystone which the party can keep going back to over and over again , each time geting a little deeper down and is the cornerstone of my campain

The problem with stuff like this is that there is no level appropriate for it. It says that it is suitable for PCs of 2-15 level but the first encounter in one of the 3 towers is a band of half-ogres, the second is a band of armoured trolls. The 1st dungeon level after that is suitable for 1st-2nd levels except for more armoured trolls armed with pikes (which wiped out a party of 2 2nd level characters and 2 1st level characters immediately when I DMed it). The 2nd dungeon level has a pack of beholders on it! I guess Troy Denning hasn't heard the word 'balance', but then he did write "The Verdant Passage", one of the most badly-written books I have tried to read in recent times. Also, the artwork looks like 3rd rate marvel/DC stuff, in the grand tradition of T$R using worse and worse artists the richer they get.
