I've played this through back in the day with my brothers and some friends. I remember it fondly, it is one of the adventures that has stuck in my head. I guess time travel was mind blowing experience for a young kid (I am the youngest, and must've been somewhere 10-12 years old) :D I thought to use this in one of my current campaigns. Thanks for the quick review, I remember the plot now much more clear. Very nice!

Interesting. Really thanks for posting this. I just found your channel yesterday and I'm binge watching everything. I have the chronomancer supplement. I think I'm going to take this feel information you present here write it down and keep it with that supplement in case I ever run that in the future.

I have never heard of thunder rift setting. I actually started playing AD&d in 81. I followed this hobby on and off for decades now. I play second edition. And I have never heard of this. I'm kind of dumbfounded about that. I plan on watching your playlist on it. I'm a bit amazed that there's a level three to five adventure that has a vampire in it. That seems to be a little OP. But maybe he's a weaker version than I'm used to running.

They're wrote an adventure for a party of first level characters that has a creature that requires magical weapons to hit?

This is awesome, thank you! My players just finished The Eye of Traldar and got to Specularum, so I was looking for a little adventure for them in the city and your review was super helpful. I think they'll really enjoy this.

I got Dungeon of Dread through our school reading program called RIF. Reading Is Fundamental. It was very early. Probably first edition. When I saw this module, I had to download it. Nostalgia.

Thus adventure sucks. Surely bottom 5 of TSR. Every room you just walk in and get attacked right away, with no interesting tricks or gimmicks. Review already mentioned the nonsensical plot and lack of explanaton for anything. Trivial with 2 clerics since its mostly undead and low HD stuff. Only good thing is the pretty map of the manor.

I bought this one when it first came out due to the parallel world concept. That seems to be its weakest component, though. The adventure is all over the place, but it could work in the recent Planegea setting or perhaps be part of (Mystaran) Blackmoor's history. The Oard would be servants of the E.G.G. of Coot.

Hey the Lost Adventurer, I knew it was about time for you to come back. Welcome back!! Thank you so much for doing my video request. I've always enjoyed Kurishan's Garden, it's the moral dilemma I enjoy the most as a DM. Great job on breaking the adventure down, very deep! I was curious what kind of score you would give it. I think you scored it perfectly, and it is deadly! The module has a nice way of suddenly switching gears. Thanks again and you have a wonderful day!

I really like your reviews but I have to say, you really made a mistake with this one. I love it. And the creatures are quite powerful. Wights and wraiths drain levels, vampires and spectres drain two levels a hit. These guys are super dangerous. The mummy can cripple an unprepared party, between the fear and the mummy rot, this is tough. I did play these with AD&D 2e rules however so the creatures may be weaker in BECMI. Anyway, later dude.

Whats your other players going to do while a player is separated and you need to DM him , alone in a quiet place ? Your 1st two encounters are ten kobolds and a carrion crawler Thats rubbish . Why is the castle in ruins ? Why are the monsters worshipping Bargle ?

Great review, Lost. Btw I made updated maps, VTT compatible for this and the other basic black box boxed adventures for sale on DTRPG (called Back to the Dungeon map packs). They come with 'bare bones' versions of the adventures too, so can be played straight from the supplied pdf for those that don't have the proper one or are missing bits from it (Goblin's Lair is terrible for this, missing an entire adventure). If you ever want copies for review or just to reference (eg. you're reviewing the other boxed sets), hit me up.
