It was a long day.... I feel quite tired!
The adventure is mentioned in this website as well, under the BM projects, if I remember well. (EDIT: here it is: http://blackmoor.mystara.net/forums/view...=22&t=8309)
I rushed it a bit to be ready for this occasion and I think I understood how it can be further improved.
The characters managed to go through the investigation part collaborating well with each other, moved on to the action part, but when they were almost at the end there was a TPK. Final bosses are too strong if the players don't manage to pick up the best possible weapons early on, but as the investigation is very intellectual (involving libraries, police filing cabinets and the like) they end up not minding weapons at all. I probably need to put some good flag to prevent this overlook or reduce the strength of the final bosses. I'll have a lot of food for thought.
In some way it is a lovecraftian adventure set in the world of Blackmoor in an era that resembles Britain in 1930s (i.e. before the Throne of Stars). The players appreciated the atmosphere and the setting, that is the most important bit.
