Hundreds of miles from the mainland, surrounded by dangerous waters, lies an island known only as the Isle of Dread. Dark jungles and treacherous swamps await those who are brave enough to travel inland in search of the lost plateau, where the ruins of a once mighty civilisation hold many treasures - and many secrets!

David Cook and Tom Molvay's 1981 module, The Isle of Dread, introduced Dungeons & Dragons players to wilderness exploration. Even today it is considered as one of the defining adventures of its type. Come explore the famous isle, battle strange monsters and search for the fabled giant black pearl using the original Basic / Expert D&D rules. Pre-made characters will be provided.
