Shadowdale (module)

Shadowdale is an adventure module published by TSR in 1989 for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.

FRE1 Shadowdale was written by Ed Greenwood, with a cover by Jeff Easley, and was published by TSR in 1989 as a 32-page booklet with an outer three pane folder with a color fold-out map.

As critic Daniel Bart noted, some of the 2nd edition rules used in the adventure do not match the final second edition rules, and author Ed Greenwood was required to rewrite part of the adventure so as not to reveal information that would provide spoilers for the novel.

[1] Writing for Adventureiros dos Reinos, Daniel Bart noted the reliance of the adventure on the plot from Scott Ciencin's corresponding novel.

[1] In the first issue of the Brazilian magazine Coleção Dragão Brasil, Grahal liked most of the content in Shadowdale, and found "The only visible flaw in this Second Edition of Forgotten Realms comes if you like playing clerics: the description of the gods is incomplete regarding the stats needed to create clerics, and there is also no data on avatars.
