Reception
[edit]Allen VarneyreviewedThe CreatedforDragonmagazine #201 (January 1994).[1]He liked the adventure "for its chilling premise, elegant craft, and atmospheric staging", and called the village "right out of Pinocchio".[1]While he called the plot "spartan", he noted that the execution "makes the difference".[1]Varney concluded by saying, "Nesmith, one of TSR's most talented staffers, shines in this introductory adventure. It should have come in theRavenloft boxed set!"[1]
DieHard GameFansaid that "IsThe Createdone of the lesser Ravenloft adventures from the Second Edition era? Yes, there's no doubting that. It takes a very specific DM AND gaming group to make evil puppets work in any form remotely close to scary. Still, if you can find that right mix or you just want a weird adventure to make your friends laugh with,The Createdisn't a bad choice. "[2]
