Summary: A fine adventure for new characters
Review: First of all, let me say that this is not a book. This is a packaged adventure, it comes in a shrink-wrapped cardboard box, and itself contains numerous booklets and maps. There. Having said that...The Accursed Tower is a good Advanced Dungeons and Dragons adventure set in the fantasy world of Faerun, where the Forgotten Realms setting is placed. This is a classic fantasy world in the best tradition of Tolkien. I won't spoil the fun for you by telling what the adventure is about, but it does a very good job at showing your players the basics of the campaign world. The terrain maps are wonderfully understandable, and even the cave maps detailing 3D areas can be read without too much strain. The adventure is easy to build upon, which cannot be said about a great many others. Try it.

Summary: An excellent fantasy novel.
Review: If your friends know of the Forgotten Realms, they will enjoy meeting up with the famed Drizzt, the dark elven ranger. The story is great, and that should be expected from an author like R.A., but the quest is not difficult. The main problem I ran into was how to get my adventuring group to Iceland Dale, so I'm sure this book is really at its best if your adventurers start out there.

Summary: Great module, Maps a bit difficult to read
Review: The Accursed Tower is a great module. It has a great story, and any PC's will probably enjoy it very much. For the most part, it was very well written. There were a couple of places within that I had to stop, think about what was just written, and also maybe back track a little bit. Another problem I had with it was the dungeon map. For the most part, it was good, but figuring out where the stairs lead took a little bit of time. This module is absolutly perfect for a new group of adventurers. I started a new group of first level PC's and they enjoyed it a lot. Another thing that is a DM's dream come true is the ideas it gives at the end for continuing.

Summary: A good solid start-up quest for new players.
Review: This adventure includes plenty of overland an dungeon delving. Also it is easy to expand upon, particulary the underground sections. Some nasty tricks to it, but a well rounded group should have no problem finishing it. Only drawback is the text descriptions of room size and the map don't mesh. Also the placement of stairs on the maps and direction they go can get a little confusing. I recommend this adventure to a novice group or a group of old players starting off with low level characters.

Summary: INCREDILBE ADVENTURE!
Review: This adventure was incredible! It starts out when you meet this guy in a bar... he's trying to get to a city, but it's to dangerous to get there with out protection. He pays you to guide him there. After three weeks you get to the town. He pays you and asks you to do another favor for him. He asks you to recover his friends journal...that's in the accursed tower. You agree. You travel to find info. to where the tower is. You meet this huge guy in the winter in the middle of no where. He tells you pretty much anything you need to know.You find the tower and you go through it and you fight some really hard monsters. Finally you get to the last room. You open the door... and there's a evil wizard that looks like he's half dead. Right when you enter he teleports all of you're players to different parts of the tower. Those who can resist the spell, stay to fight the wizard. When you kill him he has the journal in his hands... and you find a Robe of Eyes. This means that you can see in every direction (kind of having eyes in the back of your head). You can keep it or you can sell it for 90,000 gold pieces. If you read the journal you find out that it has spells for evil mages. When you go to meet that guy... before you enter the room he puts on mage armor, just incase you try to kill him. The dude is a EVIL MAGE and wants the journal. If you fight him then you may win the battle. If you don't then you get paid and the adventure is over... I think this is the best adventure ever! It takes along time to finish the Dungeon. You should buy it right now!!!

Summary: A very good campaign for beginner PC's & DM's alike!
Review: This is a good campaign for characters that are just starting out, up to 5th level characters. It is easy for DM's to read and lay out for the characters.

Summary: Incredible Adventure
Review: This is a shining star for Forgotten Realms. If you don't mind playing a low level adventure, buy the accursed tower. This adventure has everything a DM could want. Good story line, overland travel allowing lots of opportunity to roleplay as well as a difficult but survivable underground crawl. It is must play for anyone who has read the Icewind Dale trilogy and wants to juice up the campaign with small parts featuring your favorite NPCs. This module is also good for younger DMs as it provides well laid out text boxes. It even has excellent subplots that can be explored after the adventure. The only thing I feel that needs to pointed out is the map. Pretty but flawed (watchout for the stairway that seemly dissappear). There are a large amount of magic items, but it is the Realms. I only hope TSR will now make some good mid level adventues.
