Operation Ogre is the official 1979 Pacificon AD&D tournament dungeon. The player characters must free an elven princess captured by the Ice Ogres. It describes an alchemist's laboratory in detail. [1]

Publication history

Operation Ogre was written by Michael Mayeau, with a cover by Kevin Siembieda, and was published by Judges Guild in 1979 as a 32-page book. [1]

Reception

Don Turnbull reviewed Operation Ogre for White Dwarf #17, and rated it a 5 out of 10. [2] Turnbull commented: "the module itself isn't all that bad. Deliberately limited in scope so that eight teams could 'run' through it individually, with a maximum of four hours playing time each, it is built for speed and is a blood-and-guts dungeon in style rather than belonging to the problem-solving, more intellectually demanding type".
