This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

A snotload of Dragonlance, which I'm not that into, but I'm very happy with the B-series modules and In Search of the Unknown.  Lots of good modules, and I really dig Aurora’s Whole Realms Catalogue.

In Search of Adventure looks pretty wicked for a campaign.  Has anyone played it out?

Why did so much 2E stuff get dull, tacky titles?  Tales of Enchantment?  Doom of Daggerdale?  Cleric's Challenge?  Bleh.

But then, 1E's Tell Tall Tales of the Wee Folk is the sort of thing you'd show someone if you wanted to confirm for them the worst cliches about RPGers.

I haven't decided if I'm going to keep all of it yet, so PM me if there's anything there you're keen on.

  • Lost City (B4)
I wonder how many people "lost their virginity" with this one. It was the first module that was translated in Italian when the Italian edition of the "Mentzer Red D&D Box" came out. I had already discovered the English edition, but "The Lost City" was the first module I bought ans played, too.

They put the uber-evil dude, Zargon, into the "Elder Gods" supplement for 3.5E. It would seem that I'm not the only one who remembers fondly this module :)

Cough... Dungeons & Dragons... cough...
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

Good job!  I had a nice yard sale find this summer but it was about a third the size of your haul.

Well done.
On weird fantasy: "The Otus/Elmore rule: When adding something new to the campaign, try and imagine how Erol Otus would depict it. If you can, that\'s far enough...it\'s a good idea. If you can picture a Larry Elmore version...it\'s far too mundane and boring, excise immediately." - Kellri, K&K Alehouse

I have a campaign wiki! Check it out!

Crap, I'm envious!  :)

Regarding:

  • Greyhawk Gazetteer: Grand Duchy of Karmeikos
  • Greyhawk Gazetteer:Principality of Glantri
  • Greyhawk Gazetteer: Five Shires
  • Greyhawk Gazetteer: Orcs of Thar

Those Gazetteers actually are not set in Greyhawk, and have nothing to do with it.  Rather, they are set in the D&D 'Known World' setting (first introduced in the module X1), which eventually would become known as 'Mystara.'  

Karameikos and Glantri are excellent.

Not everything is listed right.  I went with an alliterative name rather than checking.

"Thar" should have been a give-away.  Isn't that in the Forgotten Realms?

Every dawg has its day!  It's a heartwarming Christmas tale.  I also saved an orphanage and taught a cold-hearted miser the error of his ways.

It's amazing how far 30 bucks will go.

No, it's Mystara.

There's a Thar in FR, too.  Right there in the north above the Moonsea.

It's also an orc-land.

Interesting.  I don't know much about the FR (simply what is contained in the Bioware games).

All of the 'Gazetteers' are set in Mystara, and all are for D&D (not AD&D).

The seller tried to give it to me for ten bucks.  She was going to throw it out.  I insisted I was robbing her and she took thirty, but she said she just wanted to make sure it went to a good home.

Some D&D players are just awesome.

That would have been a crime to throw all that out.  Awesome indeed.  I wonder if she was the player or someone else in the family.
