A great balance of action and problem solving, the D&D game module
Slave Pits of the Undercity also included the clear-cut, noble goal of saving slaves. Unfortunately, as will often happen with serious topics such as this, it lacked much in the way of those things that make a module memorable, like colorful characters, fiendish plots, wacky scenarios, etc. However, it was easy to run, good for intermediate-level characters, simple enough for novice players, and you could plug it into any usual D&D world. I was glad to do so and give my DM self a break from creating a brand new module from scratch for my group as I usually did. But while I was excited about playing this one, my group was not. I thought maybe the idea of the slaves' plight was getting them down, but no. My brother summed up their complaints best when he said, "I wanna go back to killing things and finding treasure!" So much for noble causes...
