Dungeons & Dragons adventure module

The Ghost Tower of Inverness is an adventure module for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game, set in the game's World of Greyhawk campaign setting. The module's title refers to 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.

The player characters go on a quest to find the fabled Soul Gem, a legendary artifact of great power. which took place on November 1979 in Detroit, MI. The module had an original print run of 300 numbered copies for sale at the convention in 1979 as a set of 40 loose leaf pages and a zip lock bag. In 1980, the adventure was officially published as AD&D module C2 as a 32 page booklet with an outer folder. Lawrence Schick, in his 1991 book Heroic Worlds, called the Ghost Tower "a topsy turvy dungeon full of interesting (and deadly) problems". Ken Denmead of Wired listed the module as one of the "Top 10 D&D Modules I Found in Storage This Weekend".

The Ghost Tower was also mentioned by full name and location in the 2005 movie Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God. The hero of the movie, Berek, mentions that another character, Dorian, a cleric, had helped him there. The Ghost of Inverness has also been adapted into a setting mod for the Neverwinter Nights online game and less successfully as a Super Endless Quest book. In 2003 the RPGA Living Greyhawk campaign released the adventure Return to the Ghost Tower of Inverness. Written by Creighton Broadhurst and Steve Pearce, the four hour adventure advanced the story several years and featured encounters based on what would remain in the tower after the original expedition. Some background elements, such as the motivations of the Seer of Urnst, were expanded upon to fit the Living Greyhawk campaign's plot and regional system.
