| 3 + 1 | Lev Lafayette | S1: Tomb of Horrors. Although sometimes atmospheric and with some nice artwork, this sets a standard on why "killer dungeons" are wrong. Often deadly, often unavoidable, without rhyme, reason and even contrary to the game rules. [ Read Review ] |

| 9 / 10 | omaenogoshujinsama | THE blueprint for killer dungeons. |
| 4 / 10 | Sleeper | An intricate puzzle full of random deaths. All the best and worst parts of a tournament module: good for a metagamey one-shot, but the destroyer of campaigns. |
