"Welcome to Kartakass in the demi-plane known as Ravenloft. The story
told in this module sees the players through a quest to retrieve an
artifact known as the Crown of Souls (the back cover calls it out as the
Crown of Soldiers, however). Throughout the adventure the characters
will face powerful foes who, like all of Ravenloft, rarely appear as
they really are.
This large module serves as an introductory adventure for the
Ravenloft campaign setting. The 96 page module includes information on
running a Ravenloft adventure with special emphasis on invoking the
sense of fear and horror the setting should inspire. Advice to DMs to
help create the proper mood are introduced and reminders are included
throughout the text. The module details a "plausible plot" that the
players are likely to follow as well as providing several side tracks
that the players may decide to follow instead. The main story relies on
strong non-player characters that prove to be a worthy challenge for
both players to face and for the DM to run.
The module's cover includes a special addition to the Dungeon
Master's Screen that provides data unique to the Ravenloft campaign
setting.
The module also includes a full color poster of the cover artwork, a
color poster with maps of the domain and areas of interest such as
Harmonia Skald, and Homlack. The inner cover includes additional maps
on one side and a specialized 2-page character sheet for the Ravenloft
campaign setting on the other."
For sheer power, originality, and cunning, no other group approaches Wizards.
Collected here are original articles written by the creators of some of
the most famous magicians in history. In addition, four of early

The adventures in Wizards are suitable for use with all popular roleplaying systems including Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.
