Second in the Lost Tombs series, Crypt of Lyzandred the Mad pits the adventurers against an undead archmage. The adventure itself consists of a total of 100 encounters within Lyzandred’s realm. Half the encounters are puzzles of different sorts which must be solved for the player characters to survive, and in the end, reach the archmage himself. The other encounter areas are strange combat setups. If you like puzzles and weird encounters, you’ll love this Greyhawk adventure, otherwise you may want to avoid purchasing this module. Personally, I like puzzles, riddles and other such challenges, and consider this a worthwhile addition to my collection. Other DM’s may want this adventure just for the sake of having a collection of conundrums and other interesting encounters for use in his/her campaign world.
