Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This is a fantasy role-playing game adventure published by Chris Gonnerman for his Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game. An island, some adventures to go with it, other items for gamers looking for inexpensive materials to use.

I wasn't aware of the Monkey Isle (Monkey Island) video game when I picked a name and wrote this, otherwise I would have chosen some other name ("Island of the Apes" or something). It has nothing to do with the video game. I should have researched the name before using it for my own sake.

An Island of High Adventure is Calling

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018

It is like Tolkien meets Edgar Rice Burroughs by way of Jules Verne. There is a dragon's hoard of adventure to be found inside the pages of this old school module. Grab your character sheets, pencils, and dice, and find a large oaken table somewhere, preferably deep within a dungeon lit by torchlight and prepare to have a blast.

Good, cheap, classic fantasy hex crawl.

For the price, how can you beat the open-source remake of the classic D&D X1 Isle of Dread?
For anyone who hasn't figured it out, the Basic Fantasy rpg system is a basically open-source hybrid of D&D + Ad&d 1e. Almost directly compatible with any "OSR" type game, or even w/ 5e. Highly recommended since it's too cheap to ignore.

I am not really a fan of how they do not print the title on the spine. Content is great though

Great information

It definitely brings back my days as a kid reading the Isle of Dread. Yes, it's silly. And it even turns the silliness up to 11 with talking apes, but that's totally fine. Gaming doesn't have to be totally serious all of the time, and the value for cost is amazing.

My favorite one

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2014

Oddly I liked this one the best of the 4 adventures from Basic that are on Amazon. This one had less story involved, but actually worked better. A long lost to civilization set of islands to explore does make for better sense than ruins or villages of monsters across the street in a fairly civilized area,

A different format than what I'm used to seeing an adventure laid out in, but thats a "me" problem, not the adventure itself. pretty happy with all the basic fantasy RPG stuff i've bought.

a pulpish sandbox module on a tropical island

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

Pirates, dinosaurs, indigens under the influence of an evil cult, evolved man-eating apes, lost temples, etc.
While being quite your usual fantasy sandbox (after all, the PCs might fight a dragon), its core elements make it very usable for any pulp themed game or anytime you feel like having them washed over tropical beach.

inspiring

This is one of the most interesting adventures I've ever read. The intelligent simians are really fun, and the hexcrawl is robust enough that this could almost serve as an entire campaign setting
