FAQ Rating: \*\*\* (9 reviews; 1 *, 1 \*\*, 3 \*\*\*, 4 \*\*\*\*)
- Excellent reissue of a classic adventure.
- Two adventures revolving around a single village. Potential for a great game, also for a dull one. Demons are the main antagonist in both stories.
- Loved it. The players didn't want it to end.
- The greatest scenario I've ever GMed.
- Best. ArM. adventure. ever. Period.
- A very medieval-themed and difficult adventure.
- One of the worst adventures I've ever played. The first half is a bit over the top. The second half suffers from a lack of goals and vague clues about what's going on lead to a horrific disaster. In-your-face demons rear up late and go on an over-the-top rampage after the characters fail; requires the characters to fail for anything really interesting to happen, and by then it's too late!
- Ghoul is only OK, but Festival is terrific.
