Adam's Wrath is an adventure module for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
Adam's Wrath is an adventure which pits mid-level PCs against Doctor Victor Mordenheim and his minions. The adventure includes a visit to a haunted mansion, a showdown with living snow, and a climax on the Isle of Agony. [1]
Adam's Wrath was written by Lisa Smedman, and published by TSR, Inc. [1] Doug Stewart did editing and additional development.
Rick Swan reviewed Adam's Wrath for Dragon magazine #207 (July 1994). [1] He reviewed this adventure with the supplement Van Richten's Guide to the Created , and commented that the "AD&D game meets Frankenstein in these first-rate supplements for the Ravenloft setting." [1] He suggested considering "Guide to the Created a warm-up for the Adam's Wrath adventure". [1] According to Swan, the "most unforgettable moment comes early, when the party regains consciousness in Mordenheim's lightning tower. I don't want to give it away, but suffice to say that when you awaken, 'Something is wrapped around your head, covering your eyes...'" [1]
Ravenloft is a campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. It is an alternate time-space existence known as a pocket dimension or demiplane, called the Demiplane of Dread, which consists of a collection of land pieces called "domains", brought together by a mysterious force known only as the Dark Powers. Each domain is tailored to and mystically ruled by a being called a Darklord who is forever trapped and surrounded by magical mists surrounding the domain. Strahd von Zarovich, a vampire in the original AD&DRavenloft I6 module 1983, became the first Darklord, both ruler and prisoner of his own personal domain of Barovia. The story of how Count von Zarovich became darklord of Barovia was detailed in the 1993 novel I, Strahd: The Memoirs of a Vampire. As originally established in the Ravenloft: Realm of Terror boxed set known as "the Black Box" released in 1990, the Ravenloft campaign setting was located in the Ethereal Plane. As a physical manifestation of that plane, lands, monsters and even people were created out of the mysterious mists, and the realm acted as a prison where one could enter or be transported, but means of escape were few. Other Ravenloft Domains and Darklords were eventually added in various AD&D 2nd edition products establishing a core continent attached around Barovia which could be traveled to by others if their respective lords allowed entering or leaving their borders; while some Domains remained isolated in the mists and were referred to as Islands.
