The Realm Review:
I like plot, and this one just doesn't offer a whole lot of
it. However, with the right mind set this module can provide several hours of
great fun. In the old days, a journey by sea to the Isle of Dread seemed like a
great risk. Would you come ashore and wander into a band of cannibals, who you
could easily overcome, or will you come face to face with the great thunder
lizard on the cover? Each encounter is an adventure of its own, and while all
put together may not tell a cohesive story, it certainly is guaranteed to be a
heck of an adventure!
Realm Rating: 3.5/5

Collected reviews
on Game 29:
This far, 'Isle
of the Dread' has been my favourite Realm game. If that sounds surprising to
some who know me and my preferred style, wait for the review to find out why...
Currently I'm playing 'Ravenloft' (and admittedly I am a bit stuck in it as
well, I just don't want to map, which would help a lot...)

The font type/color
combo really hurt the eyes on this one. I had trouble mapping out the overland
but that's part of the mystique of the isle. I hate fighting dinosaurs!!! This
was really good rendition of the classic. I have never played this one before,
so it was a new experience for me. I think I might have moiderized any gm who
threw this one at me.
