Product Description:
Lodash, one of the realm’s most renowned Sages wandered into the
Mountains of his own accord, leaving civilization behind. He refuses
the King’s summons, and threatens the King’s rule by his defiance.
The King needs adventurers to follow the road into the mountains in
quest of the elusive hermit, and to bring him to heel. But the road
of adventure is many forked and deadly, and where it leads will
surprise even the most veteran of players.

Expect the unexpected!

Written and designed by the grandmaster of fantasy role-playing, Gary
Gygax’s The Hermit begins simply enough with outdoor exploration
as the Avatars quest for the Hermit’s hut, but very soon the adventure’s
many twists and turns begin to strenuously test the mettle of the Avatars.
A whole range of action-based and problem-solving challenges
are presented, and with them not a few opportunities for role-playing.
In many places the players confront situations where clever thinking
and dialogue, not combat, are called for!

This 56 page adventure module is designed for play with the Lejendary
Adventure Role Playing Game.

It includes Full Color Maps!

I think it's a fantastic adventure but I dislike having to wade through the D20 stat blocks in my version. That's not to say it doesn't work well for D20 - I just don't care about that part.

the one good thing that the d20/LA version had was a clear cut conversion of Merits and XP, which can give D&D and other XP-based games an idea of what a Merit is.

Other than that. I still have to really read through it.
