"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

I am not really sure where these came from or what they came with. I have three of them that are all identical. I suspect back in the day I bought some "bundles" and this was in the shrinkwrapped package....or I got them in a lot purchase off eBay. Not sure but just putting them out there so others can see it and maybe somone can tell me what it came from.

The Iron Crypt of the Heretics - DCC#12.5



From the front of the book:

"Many centuries ago, a band of paladins fell from grace. These blackguards were defeated after a great battle and their grim fortress, the Iron Tower, was razed. A small abbey was established near the ruins, where generations of monks mixed ancient eldritch wards, mighty clockwork traps, and multiple fail safes to build the Iron Crypt of the Heretics. Three mighty vaults ensured that its evils would be sealed for all eternity. But unbeknownst to the brotherhood, their impregnable crypt had a single weakness: the very monks that had built it, for they knew its secrets. When a devourer stole into their abbey, the profane beast forced the monks to help it inside the Iron Crypt. It successfully broke into the first of three vaults, releasing an army of wights. The story of the devourer and his wight army is told in DCC #012: The Blackguard's Revenge. Now, in DCC #012.5: The Iron Crypt of the Heretics, the heroes must venture into a crypt designed by the world's greatest thieves, magicians, and seers, solve its puzzles and deadly traps, and seal it once more from the outside world."

Into the Green: A Guide to Forests, Jungles, Woods, and Plains








From the back of the book:

"Every campaign setting has a broad section of the map that is simply colored green. This is the wilderness, an unexplored and dangerous area ripe for adventure, but woefully undefined and undocumented. What does this green swath mean, and what can be found there?

Into the Green provides rich detail for four different types of green environments, describing the ecology, terrain, hazards, and resources of each. From tall alpine forests to dark foreboding woods, from lonely and sprawling plains to dense and sweltering jungles, no feature is left out.

Into the Green is designed as a guidebook for both players and GMs alike, providing the resources needed to flesh out a wilderness campaign, and the knowledge needed to survive in one. For the GM, Into the Green details the living creatures and the unique conditions that make up each of the four terrains. Trees, plants, animals, microorganisms, monsters, pitfalls, and climates are all included - the complete cycle of life is defined.

Along with each of the environments are a wide variety of skills, substances, spells, concoctions, devices, gear, and information invaluable for dealing with the specific hazards of the wilds. Every plant tells a story, every creature provides a clue to success, and every monster is a treasure in and of itself."

This campaign-caliber adventure takes the players down dark roads and into evil forests; to the heart of a city corrupted by evil - and beneath its cemetery. They'll explore a haunted cabin and sneak around a dark mansion. They'll climb mountains, brave caves, fight monsters, and solve riddles within a tomb of ancient evil. And while designed for new characters, In the Shadows will take even seasoned adventurers for a ride they'll never forget!"

Abd Indy knew he would have to join the search for Abner Ravenwood. If ever there was a time for action, it is now! Indy struggles to reach the far side of the bridge, but too late! The shriek of the wind combines with the roar of the beast and with a violent shudder it flings the sundered bridge, Indy, and Marion into the yawning chasm!

From inside the front cover:

"This is the first of the Loremaster Series, a group of fantasy aids designed to each provide the background for a complete campaign of any level. Laid out for your players on the four-color map are no less than 5 dungeons and 3 cities through which they may search for riches or death. But worlds are not all towers and dungeons, so the Loremaster series provides the cultural and political background for a series of wilderness adventures as the players journey across the map learning about their world.

Two maps (scale 1" = 20 miles) are provided, one labeled with suggested locations for each city or dungeon, so that you can release to the players just the information their characters might actually have. The dungeons and citadels are shown in sinister perspectives and laid out with numbered, keyed, floor plans - ready for you, as Gamemaster, to people them with creatures that will provide an appropriate challenge for your players.

A second volume in this series is currently in development to allow you to widen the scope of your player's adventures and more will be forthcoming.

Ten million square miles of forests, savannas, steppes, deserts, mountains, islands plains and lakes on a 24" x 36" poster-sized map. Look for it at your hobby store."

ICE - Shadow World: Sky Giants of the Brass Stair



From the website:

"High in the mountains, the ancient, hundred-mile Brass Stair winds its way to the heavens. At its top, a village of Giants stands amidst abandoned gold mines. Rumors of a winged Dragon guarding the site frighten away most of the adventures, but not all...

In Kulthea's Second Era of Ire, a Dwarven king hollowed out vast caverns high in the Garlon Mountains of northeastern Jaiman. His citadel atop the mountain was guarded by a gate - to reach it, guests climbed an immense brass stair a hundred miles up in the rugged cliffsides. As the Wars of Dominion raged, servants of the Unlife gained control of the Narlshaw region, and the Dwarves' gold mines were abandoned.

Bewildering Flows of Essence divide the Narlshaw from the rest of Jaiman. The Dragonlord's Skyriders patrol the chilling air. Tales of a huge Dragon flying over the Brass Stair and of Cloudlords astride their soaring mounts make the region ill-at-ease. In a land where all fear the Dragonlord and few serve the Good, adventurers seek ancestral treasures in an atmosphere of ever-increasing danger."

ICE - Shadow World: Quellbourne: Land of the Silver Mist


From the back cover:

"Set sail for the land of the silver Mist, where treasure and undead alike rest uneasily in the ruins of Quellbourne's capital city, Quellburn. Overcome by the forces of the Unlife centuries before, the rugged Mannish population of this fog-swept land struggles to survive, battling pirate bands of Ice Krals and raiding Trolls, as they mine for gold and silver. Fortune hunters will find Quellbourne bountiful, if they can avoid being sacrificed to the Spider Goddess, Hrassk. Equally fatal are the Destroyers of Galtoth, a cult of men dedicated to destroying everything -- even the island they live on!

Riches and tales too fabulous to be believed lure adventurers to Quellbourne's battered coast. The bold may find a map leading to an "abandoned?" silver mine, now home to denizens best left undisturbed. After outfitting themselves on the brawling streets of Kelfour's Landing, fortune-seekers might prowl the ruins of Quellburn, uncovering centuries of gold and booty. Or sail to Trelkinaark to challenge the formidable and plunder-laden Krals in their homeland.

Quellbourne provides a complete fantasy campaign environment, including:

* 2-page color map of Kelfour's Landing.
* View and Room-by-room Layouts of Quellburn's Armory, Citadel of Wizards, Palace and more.
* 8 detailed adventures."

"Vast caverns thread the earth beneath the continent of Emer. One of these natural vaults contains a realm of bronze sands and silver grasses lit by a magical sky-roof of brass. Six immortal, evil lords - the Ishru - reside in castles overlooking the deserts and the steppe. They vie among themselves for supremacy, unaware that their holdings may all be destroyed by events set in motion millennia in the past.

Long, long ago, one of the fallen great - a Worldslayer - fashioned Gethæna under the wastelands of central Uj. The vast lava dome housed her demon armies. The hordes were to be unleashed only when her deluded foes foresaw victory.

Gethæna’s creator and all her scheme’s have been forgotten by history - yet her legacy lives on. Within the crucible of the underearth realm, an ancient people struggles amidst the atrocities committed by the Ishru. One man plans to loose these fiendish lords on Kulthea’s surface, while all others seek their destruction.

Treachery, rebellion, and the chances of war challenge adventurers in Gethæna!

Gethæna, Underearth Emer contains:

* A 21" x 16" full-color map of Gethæna.
* A complete campaign involving seven linked scenarios that send adventurers into the perilous heart of Gethæna’s enduring mysteries.
* Details on the Ishru, the immortal fiends who rule the Underearth Realm.
* A history of the ancient conflict between the dark Ishru and their neighbors, the mortal Dain Sædhu.
* Legends from the birth of the world.
* Flora, fauna, and beasts unique to the Underearth Realm, including the savage gleamtiger, soporific sorrow moss, and the bloodthirsty Nuld - minions of the Ishru.
* Politics and power: who pulls whose strings, and the web of intrigue that enmeshes all - the rulers and the ruled.
* Maps and layouts for all adventure sites.
* Complete statistics for all NPCs, monsters, artifacts, and poisons.
* New spell lists for the Ishru and those foolish enough to study under these cruel lords."
