## Publication history

The module was written by Eric Haddock and David Wise and published by [TSR](/source/TSR,_Inc.).[1]

## Reception

Gene Alloway reviewed *Roots of Evil* in a 1993 issue of *[White Wolf](/source/White_Wolf_(magazine))*. He stated that *Roots of Evil* "is another excellent addition to the **[Ravenloft](/source/Ravenloft)** sage".[2] He concluded that:

Major evil characters are dealt with, and the well-being of the Prime Material plane is at stake. All elements of this work are professionally done and a joy to play. There are plenty of ideas in here for any AD&D game or for any fantasy role playing game, for that matter. If you don't have this adventure, or the earlier *From the Shadows*, get them. They will show you how a good adventure is done.[2]
 Overall, Alloway rated the module a 4 out of a possible 5.[2]
