Looking at the art for the new book coming out, it got me to thinking about what made the module so well regarded. Then I started seeing how this might have been an inspiration for Rapture, though I doubt that.
Both have:
Isolated city unknown to the rest of the world
Masked inhabitants running around high on something
Mystery on what happened to the people
Lots of people that have gone completely barmy
Multiple factions trying to influence the party
Both are supposed to be a creepy as possible
I do wonder why they are redoing this adventure twice in the same edition. I hope it's good, though I'm not impressed with the art. Would it kill somebody to finally put something next to Zargon for scale? And the Cynidiceans no longer look like cavefish/morlocks/Swedish submariners but just normal people at a company pep rally. Still, more Known World is good thing.
