Summary: Who can like this module?
Comment: OK, the way I see it, puerile kids may think this is the thinking man's module but any adults will cringe.

TSR always has figured that their audience has no link with reality as they pepper their adventures with implausible plots, insane characters, and magic that makes no sense.

Here, we are led to believe that the adventure has plenty of riddles to thwart the players. First off, the majority of the riddles are so lame they make no sense. At first I thought this module was a joke, like Castle Greyhawk but much to my dismay it was not. While I enjoy math, I don't enjoy sitting down to do algebra while I game. If it were plausible I might allow it but it is thrown in for no reason. And will the players want to wade through riddle after riddle that tests the players INT? How can you roleplay this?

The organization is shoddy which turns this contraption into a GM's nightmare.

As for realism, how did the protaganist create all of this? He sure does notseem to have the magical prowess in the final encounter. Further, his motivations are lame too. It just makes no sense. This adventure will appeal to those who don't care for any semblance of realism in their campaign.

Please TSR, if you insist on advertising adventures with riddles to try and attract gamers who want something more than average, give it a coherent theme and a real reason for existing.

Lamer than lame!

Summary: Great fun in the dungeon tonight!
Comment: This module certainly keeps your group hopping. There are enough encounters to play through it more than once. They are quite varied for the most part and it is easy to hop from riddle to straight out hack and slash to keep everyone in the group happy.

Summary: A good challenging adventure
Comment: One of the better adventures to come around, Crypt of Lyzandred the Mad is a fun time for a gaming group. Sean K. Reynolds has produced all quality work so far, lets hope he keeps his pattern going.
