AD&D Trivia Game [BOX SET]
CONTENTS:
• 600 Question cards
• 10 Full-color character cards
• 60 Full-color playing pieces
• 5 Divider cards
• 1 Rules sheet
• 1 Question box
• 1 Plastic bag for playing pieces

"What's tall, green, and can regenerate lost limbs? Whether you know a little or a lot about the role-playing game, you can play AD&D Trivia. You choose the level of questions you wish to answer -- from simple multiple choice to complex puzzlers. Either way, with luck and skill you can vanquish your opponents.

AD&D Trivia is more than just Q and A. You play the "role" of an AD&D character or monster. Your wit is your weapon; each correct answer literally wounds your opponents (or helps you heal). The tougher the question, the harsher the attack. The last survivor wins the game."

Dragon Mountain [BOX SET]

There are at least two distinct printings of this set. The earlier printing (1993, with TSR rectangular gold badge) displays (on the back of the box) the content item count is erroneously claimed as 12 cards, 16 handouts (actual count is 14 & 14.) But there is also a folded poster of the cover art by Paul Jaquays in the first print set.

The 2nd printing (TSR round gold badge logo; states July 1994 on back of box) correctly claims 14 cards, 14 handouts on the box rear [physical count confirmed]. The poster is not present in this printing.
-Wayne

Night Below: An Underdark Campaign [BOX SET]

Be sure to visit my Night Below blog page. Lots of photos!

"Night Below, the first epic campaign adventure for the AD&D game, is designed to take the player characters from 1st level to 10th level and beyond. The PCs start as beginning adventures on a routine courier mission who soon become drawn into combating a sinister plot that menaces the pleasant land of Haranshire.

By the end of Book I, The Evils of Haranshire, the player characters should have worked their way up to 5th level. Book II, Perils of the Underdark, shifts the scene underground as the characters search the seemingly endless realm of the underdark to discover the fate of the kidnappers' victims. By the time they reach the dark cavern of The Sunless Sea in Book III, they should each be 10th level or above, ready at last to confront the ultimate evil behind the far-reaching conspiracy.

Inside this box are
* Three 64-page books compromising a single grand-scale adventure, which can be placed in any AD&D world.
* 16 Player Handout sheets featuring art, maps, charts, and letters.
* 8 two-sided DUNGEON MASTER Reference Cards providing cutouts, monster rosters, and two new evil deities.
* An eight-page booklet of new MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM entries, detailing three new races and two new monsters. (Aboleth, Savant; Elf, Rockseer; Ixitxachitl, Ixzan; Eel, Giant Moray; Golem, Shaboath)
* 6 full-color poster maps detailing all the important locations in the entire campaign setting."

The "six" poster maps are actually 3 double-sided maps. -W

The Rod of Seven Parts (Tomes) [BOX SET]

"Imagine a time before the words Good and Evil had meaning, a day when the world was young. Discover an ancient conflict that predates the stars. It was in these days that Law and Chaos forged worlds out of nothingness; their war began while the cosmos was yet unfinished.

The Rod of Seven Parts defines epic role-playing. The reappearance of the Rod has awakened the powers of Chaos, and their queen seeks to turn the whole world into a battleground. Bold heroes must undertake the enormous task of seeking out and assembling the pieces of the Rod, but even its power cannot stand alone. Ages ago, primal forces of Law stood fast against Chaos; now their champions must once more confront the Queen of Chaos and her foul spyder-fiends, lest the flame of civilization be extinguished.

Follow the quest for the capricious Rod as it leads characters on a journey of high fantasy. The Rod of Seven Parts is designed for four to six heroes and heroines of levels 10 to 12.

This boxed set includes:

* Initiation to Power, a 96-page book of grand adventure playable in any AD&D world, including original campaigns;
* The War Against Chaos, a 64-page book of world-crossing adventures pitting PCs toe to toe against the minions of Chaos;
* Might and Menace, a 32-page book detailing the mysterious powers of the Rod of Seven Parts: how it affects both its enemies and its friends;
* Monsters, a 16-page book of new villains, new monsters, and even a new race!
* 6 two-sided reference cards;
* 3 double-sided, full-color poster maps portraying the key locations heroes can visit.

Read about this ancient artifact in the epic novel The Rod of Seven Parts by best-selling author Douglas Niles!"

Return to the Tomb of Horrors (Tomes) [BOX SET]
An update to the classic adventure by Gary Gygax.

I've posted a full pictorial of the set over at my Game Gallery blog

-Wayne


"Imagine a place of unspeakable evil. It was built upon hopelessness and filled with unending terror and pain. This loathsome place shattered the life of everyone who ventured near. But through tremendous sacrifice and heroism, over the course of many years, it was finally gutted and its foul creator destroyed.

Now imagine that the horror is beginning all over again.

The sinister wizard Acererak took great pains to safeguard his tomb. It took many years, and many more lives, before his evil was finally laid to rest. But though the demilich is gone, he is not forgotten. Others who would become as he was have traveled to the site of Acererak's tomb seeking the secrets of mastery of death. Slowly these pilgrims gathered, eventually building in the shadow of the tomb itself a community dedicated to the dark arts: Skull City.

But even these twisted necromancers have no inkling of the true evil that swells and crackles beneath their feet.

This boxed adventure contains:

* a 160-page adventure book;
* a 32-page book of illustrations to be shown to players;
* player handouts, including an adventurer's diary filled with clues;
* a 16-page book of maps and monsters;
* and a reprinted facsimile of the original Tomb of Horrors adventure module as first published in 1978.

Return to the Tomb of Horrors is an epic adventure for characters of levels 13-16."
