Rear cover notes: "In a rain-soaked graveyard, a small group of men stands round a coffin bound with heavy chains. 'We are here to mourn the passing of Jean de Cardeau, ' intones the village priest. 'Let us pray that his rest is eternal, and that he never returns.' As the pallbearers lift the coffin, something scrapes on the wood from inside. Quickly and without emotion, the attendants slide the casket into a crypt. Then they seal the door and flee. Behind them, unheard, a dull thudding begins, growing louder with the onset of twilight. There can be no peace for those who linger in the earthly realm after death. And there can be no sanctuary on the Night of the Walking Dead! Set in a zombie-infested swampland, Night of the Walking Dead is an ideal first-time Ravenloft adventure. Players must unravel the mystery behind a string of murders and disappearances in a village plagued by ambulant undead - and all is not as simple as it seems! The hour of fear is upon us. Are you ready to face the demiplane of dread?"

3.0 out of 5 stars
A tolerable adventure--but not worth searching for,
By morrisamm@worldnet.att.net (Queens, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night of the Walking Dead (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, 2nd Edition: Ravenloft, Adventure/9352/RQ1) (Paperback)
A fairly good introduction to Ravenloft for DMs and players, but yet seems to fail to provide the necessary level of horror that the writers of Ravenloft materials are always stressing. Certain elements seem glossed over, and other suggestions are impossible to carry out. A chase scene is called for, but based on the map, it seems hard for a chase scene to ensue--there is much space between houses and one does not get the sense that in this small town anything resembling an alley or a wrong turn could actually exist. Despite an attempt to create an atmosphere of horror, the action seems largely driven by a gradual increase in number and strength of opposing creatures. There are other adventure modules for low level players still in print that are also more interesting. The one benefit of Night of the Walking Dead is its brevity--it can be completed in two or three sessions.
4.0 out of 5 stars
This will keep the PCs in line,
This review is from: Night of the Walking Dead (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, 2nd Edition: Ravenloft, Adventure/9352/RQ1) (Paperback)
My PCs had become a little too powerful, and in the beginning I felt this adventure would be a breeze for them. Suddenly, they're facing the main enemy and I have to bring in an NPC priest to stop them all from dying. This adventure will let your PCs know they are not immortal.
