Snakepipe Hollow is an adventure published by Chaosium in 1979 for the fantasy role-playing game RuneQuest, then revised and republished in various editions.
[3] That same year, Judges Guild published their first licensed RuneQuest adventure, Broken Tree Inn by Rudy Kraft, which used material from Snakepipe Hollow, although all references to Chaosium's setting of Glorantha were removed.
In order to increase distribution and marketing of RuneQuest, Chaosium made a deal with Avalon Hill in 1984 to publish a third edition of the role-playing game.
[6] In the inaugural issue of Games International, Philip A. Murphy reviewed the fourth edition of Snake Pipe Hollow published by Avalon Hill, and complimented the production values, calling the book "attractively produced."
He called the adventure "something of a throwback to the late 70's, being a true dungeon hack-and-slay job" but liked its "completeness, thought provoking problems and the sheer fun of it all."
