Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun

Review:  Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun (WG4).  By Gary Gygax and Rob Kuntz.  Published 1982.

This module is for 6th to 10th level characters.  The characters are searching for an evil temple at the request of some gnomes.  The first part of the module involves finding the temple, the second part involves storming the temple.  Overall it is a module with some interesting ideas (searching for a lost temple, hazardous wilderness travel through the mountains to find the temple, fighting to get into the temple and then exploring it, and maybe finding some really interesting places, and maybe not).  The execution of those ideas is good but not great.  Also like most modules of the era is has multiple opportunities for the characters to get into make a saving throw or else types of challenges.  Ranked the 23rd best module of all-time in 2004 by Dungeon magazine.  Like the execution of its ideas and its Cthulu-flavor, I would give it a good but not great rating.  (The players in my campaign were successful in storming the temple).  3 out of 5 stars.
