Maze of the Minotaur was my first D&D module I bought as a kid. I loved minotaurs and was disappointed that the "Minotaurs" were actually golems. And at a 1-10 level range, it was the widest spread I can remember. My first level thief didnt last long:-)

Cool story about the blacklight torch. I thought M2 made better use of the invisible ink with the map that M1.

These were probably the best two of the solo modules.

That's so cool that this was your first D&D module! I agree with everything you said - especially that M2 made way better use of the invisible ink aspect.

Boy oh boy do I miss invisible ink workbooks. They were tons of fun and I liked these adventures back in the day too. I did prefer Tunnels & Trolls solos, especially Arena of Khazan, but these were a pretty good time.

So cool - I didn't know T&T had invisible ink adventures too! Thanks for sharing, Christian.

No. Not invisible ink adventures, just solo adventures. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Ah, ok. Those still sound cool though.

Any solo adventures available today? Are these modules still out there or online as PDFs anywhere?

Blizzard Pass looks to have a scan on archive.org here: https://archive.org/details/tsr09067m1blizzardpass

Maze of the Riddling Minotaur here: https://archive.org/details/tsr09060msolo2mazeoftheriddlingminotaurlevel110

I also saw some folks post the invisible entries online with interactive HTML from acaeum's blog:

Blizzard Pass: https://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/modpages/msolo1txt.html

Maze of the Riddling Minotaur: https://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/modpages/msolo2txt.html

So, you could technically use the scans from archive and the interactive entries from acaeum!
