The bulk of the adventure is set in Castle Ravenloft, where the Hickmans have a number of nasty creatures and wondrous treasures waiting to you. The Hickmans were being pioneers with this form of storytelling and so there are techniques of storytelling here that I can only describe as clunky. However, it isn’t entirely smooth sailing. The adventure, written in 1983 by Tracy and Laura Hickman, was popular enough to inspire an entire campaign setting and brought the trappings of Gothic Horror to Dungeons & Dragons. There are very few adventures that are better thought of than Ravenloft.
