The Silver Key (module)

The Silver Key is an adventure module for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, published in 1996.

The Silver Key is an adventure for a party of two to six player characters of levels two to eight, in which orcs patrol the countryside as the humans of the city of Horonshar get ready for war.

When the orcs ambushed a group of soldiers a few days earlier, a military officer carrying a magical item with teleportation powers called the Silver Key was taken prisoner in the orcish fortress.

[1] He felt that the system of moving around in the orcish fortress by flow chart and die roll was "more like Monopoly than AD&D; there's even a 'Go to jail' - sorry, 'Busted' - region.

"[1] Ramshaw concluded the review by saying: "The Silver Key's originality is married by an over-reliance on the dice, its occasionally ambiguous rules, and a paucity of detail for critical locations and encounters.
