Maybe my expectations were too high. In some circles, including Gary Gygax, this is a favorite D&D module/kit. I liked the intro humor, and I always love having an illustration booklet. I wish every adventure sold had one of these, but they are surprisingly rare. I guess the art expense limits their availability. The story-line was too whimsical and manufactured which means it is mostly a puzzle railroad. And believe it or not, there are several places where the DM is just supposed to make up a trap or fill in a monster within the dungeon. The worst part was none of the monsters have stats. You are given a formula to derive the monster stats based on the strength of the party, but I'd rather have the stats provided that I can adjust up or down.
