I've been a fan of solo adventures and gamebooks for many (too many?) years and Ghost Of Lion Castle is one of the most fun and satisfying solo adventures I've played.
First up I really love the aesthetic and layout of the castle itself. This is one of those things that in my opinion older fantasy modules that weren't trying to feel as grounded or serious did really well. This is a structure that would never exist in the real world and that makes it feel even more fantastic. The mechanic of having most of the fights be determined by random monster tables is great, and means that on a replay you can't really min/max or choose what order to address challenges in.
The quality of my scan was really good and now that I've printed and coil bound my copy I can't wait to explore Lion Castle all over again.
