Overall, a decent enough breaking down of the adventure module. He makes a couple of minor mistakes such as crediting Bruce Heard for the decision to connect the DA modules to the BECMI/Classic D&D line. Bruce Heardt recently told me that this had already been decided when he got involved in managing this product line and was likely a result of the 1979 lawsuit and eventual settlement between Arneson and TSR which is what I think many already suspected.
I think the youtube reviewer is pretty fair in his assessment of the strengths and flaws of the module. He rates it as good on his scale. I would probably rate it much higher (big surprise?
), but I can see how some of the things the reviewer is unhappy about could put others off.
For more of my thoughts on DA1, see this thread here at The Comeback Inn.
