8 / 10gm_insightThe best setting in the AD&D system.
8 / 10owe for the fleshDripping with atmosphere, and very adaptable.
7 / 10YokiboyVery thematic and highly evocative adventure. The maps are gorgeous, the adventure is cool in how it has replayability, due to its random plot. It is still a very traditional roleplaying adventure, but great at what it does.
6 / 10SleeperA fairly brutal dungeon crawl festooned with the trappings of gothic horror. The real innovations were the 3D maps and the way certain key plot devices were randomly placed.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
