From the introduction: "This is not a 'normal' tournament module. RPGA tournaments are run and scored on an individual basis, rather than considering the players as an unbreakable team. RPGA headquarters tries to maintain high quality in the modules and Dungeon Masters used, but trying to force all the DMs to run the game in exactly the same way and at the same speed is a task which approaches impossibility. Therefore, after each session of play, the players themselves decide which of them will progress into the next round of competition. The DM's evaluation is used to beak ties and select alternates. Other than this voting (and be sure that all the players understand the criteria, as given on their evaluation sheets), there is no scoring system--at least, none of the 'normal' type."

From the back cover:

After centuries of strife between the forces of Good and Evil, your party, under the leadership of the famed paladin Athelstan, seeks to recover the Holy Sword, Chrysomer-one of the great Legendary Swords now in the hands of Evil forces.

This is the last in the "R" series of AD&D modules. Each RPGA module has been used at an official GEN CON tournament, and has been designed for maximum entertainment. DOC'S ISLAND is usable in campaign or tournament play. The original five characters are included in the module, along with character details, historical background, overview maps, and detailed encounter descriptions for the Dungeon Master.
