Of all of the mountains of AD&D adventures I have been through and run as a DM, I would have to say that this is quite possibly the best I have ever encountered. It's twisting and catclysmic plot, along with its sheer drama and power make it a must-have for any blood looking to give some badguys the laugh. The first of its three chapters is exceptionally extroardinary in that it gives the DM a good deal of freedom to tie in events, build the plot, and personalize it to his or her own campaign. With steamy plots, planar quandaries, and memorable villains, Harbinger House is an adventure not likely to be forgotten soon.

Harbinger House is a good adventure for any Planescape campaign. It begins as a murder mystery, and escalates into something much more serious. The entire adventure is very open-ended at the beginning and narrows in focus. When the players finally make it into Harbinger House, this is a great place to explore. However, I thought the final conflict at the end was a little weak and this is what kept it from getting five stars instead of four. Up to that point, the adventure is great and I would recommend it to anyone running a Planescape campaign.
