Plot Summary

Maze of the Riddling Minotaur is a solo scenario meant to be played by a single player character of level 1-10, although the adventure can be adapted to group play after it has been used as a solo adventure. The character is asked by the king to search a monster-infested labyrinth to find a kidnapped princess. The results of the player character's actions are written in invisible ink, to be revealed as needed by using the special pen attached to the module.

Publication History

Maze of the Riddling Minotaur was written by Jeff Grubb, with a cover by Tim Truman and interior illustrations by Keith Parkinson, and was published by TSR in 1983 as a 32-page booklet with an outer folder and an "invisible ink" pen attached to the folder. Its original module code was M2, but when TSR began publishing modules for the Master Set of Dungeons & Dragons, the code was reassigned to Vengeance of Alphaks.
