D&D General Adventure hype and meeting expectations

[pukunui]

I think that's the same with many modules these days (and if I'm being honest, in the past.....I've re-read a lot of Dungeon lately. Yikes).

Reminds me of The Crypt of Istaris from Dungeon #9. Great dungeon with an interesting time limit gimmick, but it begins with a full three-column page of boxed text for the DM to read to the players.
