Intriguing adventure with two distinct parts, getting to the island and being on the island itself.

My personal favorite of this series.
Very much in vein of the old Melee/ Wizard games. It comes complete with counters, combat map, and rules! Simple playing and deadly combat in a programed adventure means you can play it solitaire, or even with friends! Unlike role playing games there is no DM required. Lots more stuff on www.darkciygames.com
This is my favorite of the early LAW gamebooks and the one thaat got me re-hooked into the LAW/ITL series. The areas around the island itself are fun to interact with and there is some room to flex your characters' non-combat skills throughout the adventure.
In addition, there are some interesting combat scenarios and a bunch of perks that you can bring to other adventures without grossly overpowering the characters. (The ability to learn new spells for free is a nice touch. It adds more flexibility to the characters and becuase of how LAW deals with the cost of spells, it doesn't make the characters much more powerful, but it does give them more options when exploring....a great benefit.)
While this is a slightly higher level adventure, for characters with more base CP, I'd still recommend it as one of the best DCG adventures and one well worth playing more than once.
