The Ghost Tower of Inverness is an adventure module for the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, set in the game's World of Greyhawk campaign setting. The edifice to which the module's title refers is an ancient magical tower located in the southern Abbor-Alz Hills. The "C" in the module code represents the first letter in the word "competition," the name of C1 - C6 module series.[1]
The adventure was originally published as The Ghost Tower of Inverness in November 1979 as a tournament module for Wintercon VIII in Detroit, MI. In 1980, it was then officially published as AD&D module C2 with the same name. The Wintercon version of the module has a green rather than a red cover and does not bear the "C2" designation.
The adventure was written by Allen Hammack and the C2 version features cover art by Jim Roslof and interior art by Jeff Dee, Greg K. Fleming, David S. LaForce, David C. Sutherland III and Erol Otus. It is the second in the C series of modules, a group of unrelated adventures originally designed for competition play.
The Ghost Tower of Inverness was ranked the 30th greatest Dungeons & Dragons adventure of all time by Dungeon magazine in 2004, on the 30th anniversary of the Dungeons & Dragons game.
