From the back of the book:

- Dragon's Coffin, built to keep an ancient black dragon trapped inside its subterranean lair;

FR9: The Bloodstone Lands (1989)

From the back of the book:

Setting for the Icewind Dales trilogy of novels (The Crystal Shard, Streams of Silver, and the upcoming Halfling's Gem), and the H-series of adventure modules which culminated in a battle with Orcus himself, the Bloodstone Lands are one of the wildest areas of the Forgotten Realms.

In this sourcebook, the author of the Icewind Dales trilogy explores this frozen region. Presented for players and DMs alike are people, places, and events that shaped the Bloodstone Lands - the political movers and shakers who carved their own brand of civilization from rocks and ice. In addition to this insider information, there are 10 new adventure scenario suggestions for all levels of play, from beginner to advanced, allowing campaigning in the Bloodstone Lands to continue long after exploring the mines and conquering Orcus.

Prepare then to enter the barbaric kingdoms of Vaasa and Damara - the Bloodstone Lands.

 

WG10: Child's Play (1989)

From the back cover:

This action-packed adventure module is especially designed to give beginning dungeonmasters and players help in learning the AD&D® game system.

But don't be fooled by the title! The adventure is far from easy - in fact, it has challenges that can bring the careless character's adventuring career to an abrupt halt!

Filled with surprises and excitement, the adventure is still easy to referee - and during the game, players and the DM alike will pick up tips and information that will prove useful for many games to come!

 

FR14: The Great Glacier (1992)

From the Back of the Book:

"A village is only as livable as its surroundings. We are caretakers not only of our homes, but of our world."
-Inum

Strange sentiments, perhaps, from one who lives in what many perceive as a frozen wasteland, but the philosopher Inum speak for the Ulutiun people of the Great Glacier. Their tribes share that icy landscape with arctic dwarves who enjoy sun-bathing, sled-animals that are hardier than dogs, and fierce monsters that live nowhere else - and thrive in the freezing air.

The Great Glacier is the first supplement for the Forgotten Realms campaign setting to detail an Inuit-based culture. In this booklet is fact-based information on building a snow-house, surviving in sub-zero temperatures for extended periods of time, and more ideas for fantasy campaigning in an arctic setting. For those who are tired of the normal, temperate, "you-meet-in-the-tavern-and-proceed-to-go-adventuring" games, here's something completely different.

Make sure your characters dress warmly - it gets nippy at night on the Great Glacier.

 

Throne of Evil (1984)

CIVIL WAR IS IMMINENT!

One evening a messenger delivers a rolled parchment. You recognize the royal signet of the old King, Henry I, stamped in the sealing wax. You open the scroll.

Lycanthropes (1991)

From the back of the book:

"Lycanthropes is a 128-page sourcebook and 2 scenarios featuring werewolves and the many other half-human, half-animal forms that legend and history have brought to life.

The sourcebook reveals the folklore behind the "wolfman," including authenticated cases that prove (to some) the actual existence of the werecreature. SAVE has compiled statistics, vital maps, case histories, and pertinent information (everything from how to recognize a werewolf on down to how to kill or even cure one) on 6 distinct types of lycanthropes, Lycanthropic Disorder, Infective, Inherent, Magical, Astral, and the Wolfen.

The Beast of Exmoor adventure scenario is based upon true-to-life, mysterious events in England, and A Long, Hot Summer is what the PCs may have to endure if they do not stop the strange happenings at Yellowstone National Park. Both scenarios feature open formats, making them adaptable to any Chill campaign. Pregenerated characters are provided, or players may use their own PCs to avert some of the oldest Creatures of the Unknown to have walked this earth...

Werecreatures."

White Eagle (1990)

From the back cover:

"Don't tell me, let me guess. We have to save western civilization again, right?"
We all thought Ski was crazy. "We are the last hope of civilization in Poland," he said. "Julian is a dictator. Krakow is run by a bunch of gouging, mercantile profiteers. There are bandits everywhere, and the only one who cares about the Polish people is Father Wojiech. We have to help him - it's the only way to keep everything from sliding into the pit."

All of us in the squad argued for hours. I said helping Father Wojiech is insane and is only gonna get us all killed. We should hole up somewhere and see what the situation is in the spring.

So who are we linked up with? Guess.

In White Eagle, powerful forces are struggling to control a nation. The armed might of King Julian of Silesia is matched against the equally powerful economic forces of the free city of Krakow. Opposing them both is the Wojsko Ludowa (People's Army) of Father W. Niekarz. Krakow has mercantile connections. money, and technological expertise. The "king" has military expertise and a steadily expanding government of local warlords backed by an organized military. Father Niekarz and his followers have a devout belief in the righteousness of their cause, a burning desire to see Poland free of tin-pot dictators and petty warlords backed by "soldiers" who are nothing more than bandits - and the Black Madonna of Czestochowa, a religious icon and a powerful symbol of Polish nationalism.

For the WL's banner, Father Niekarz has chosen a white eagle (the tradional symbol of Poland) on a red field (red and white are the Polish national colors). The People's Army has no stockpiles of weapons and ammunition, no vast treasury, no great military leaders. That's where you come in....

White Eagle outlines what has happened in southern Poland since the players last saw the region: the transmutation of General Julian Filipowitz into the despotic King Julian, the power struggle within Krakow for control of the region's industrial economy, the deteriorating agricultural situation that threatens to spark another round of civil unrest within the towns and villages of Poland - these factors and others threaten the fragile blossom of civilization.

 

Bangkok: Cesspool of the Orient (1991)

From the back of the book: 

"Bangkok is the first adventure/campaign sourcebook written especially for the revised Twilight:2000 game system. It presents players and referees with a totally new and different background against which to adventure: Thailand. Bangkok describes the geography, climate, peoples, and culture of Thailand, giving maps of the major cities, a rundown of the three main political factions, and complete organizational details of the various armies. From the opium warlords of the Golden Triangle to the "sea gypsies" of the Gulf of Thailand, from the primitive hill tribes of the northeast to the sophisticated mercantile/criminal syndicates of Bangkok itself, each region of the country is fully described. Each section also includes a short folio-type adventure set in that part of the country.

Further chapters provide adaptations to the slightly different milieu of Merc: 2000, enabling Bangkok to be used with campaigns for that system as well. IN all, Bangkok will serve as a stepping stone to a whole new world of exotic adventures in the Twilight: 2000/Merc: 2000 roleplaying universe.

 

American Combat Vehicle Handbook (1990)

FA2: Nightmare Keep (1991)

Publisher blurb:

What your players say at the start of Nightmare Keep: "Oh, look, an underground labyrinth filled with treasure. No one who's gone in ever came out alive. Gosh, we've never seen that before, oh no." (Stifled yawn.)

What they say early on in Nightmare Keep: "Hold it! What's going on? Oh, yucccch! We're getting out! This way, this way! What's that? Oh, no!"

Halfway through Nightmare Keep: "Okay. If we stick close and look sharp and don't act stupid, I think we might get out of this alive."

At the climax of Nightmare Keep: "Oh no. Oh no."

A would-be conqueror is raising hordes of undead insects beneath Wolover's Keep in the Veilstone Peaks. This evil being was once a lich, a powerful undead wizard -- but that was not enough. Now something strange exists beneath the Keep, something repellent-and strong beyond measure.

Nightmare Keep: for the AD&D game adventurer with courage, a strong stomach, and superior firepower. This adventure is set near northwestern Cormyr in the Forgotten Realms, but it fits easily into any ongoing high-level campaign.

 

WGR6: The City of Skulls (1993)

From the back cover:

"Glory - or a fate worse than death - in the World of Greyhawk!

The dreadful jails below the appalling City of Skulls, Iuz's nightmare capital, contain many wretched and desperate captives. Among them is Earl Holmer, Knight Commander of the Shield Lands. A brave spy in Dorakaa has shown the way to find and free Holmer - is your party up to the job of freeing him? King Belvor IV of Furyondy believes so. In the way stand fearsome priests and mages of the Lord of Pain; ogres, giants, fiends, and worse hinder the struggle to defeat traps and guardians of Iuz. Plucking Holmer from his grasp will bring great renown, knighthood, and treasure - for those who survive. None has ever escaped Iuz's jails. Who will you be the first to use stealth or storm to breach them?

The City of Skulls presents adventure with a mighty challenge, full of dangers writ large and also unseen (until they strike). This adventure is suitable for 6-8 characters of levels 9-12, and includes pregenerated characters suitable for the quest, player handouts, a unique Notoriety system enabling the DM to draw forth Iuz's most fearsome guardians, a multi-level dungeon-jail, and much more besides. Now is the time for true heroes - is your party skillful enough to survive and return in triumph?"

N3: Destiny of Kings (1986)

From the back cover:

When treason walks the land...

The kingdom of Dunador is in trouble. Since the king, Halfred of Dunthrane, was killed in a hunting accident, the land has hovered on the brink of civil war. Crown Prince Edmund, at 18 only half-trained and quite unprepared to assume the throne, has yet to be crowned. Currently he is on a pilgrimage to the holy shrine of Nevron in the province of Andevar. While the uncrowned king is far from home, anarchy reigns in Dunador.

Throughout the realm, plots are brewing and evil hands are eagerly clutching the sword of treason. Inevitably the focus of these intrigues is in the troubled province of Andevar to the north. For it is here that the young Prince has journeyed and here that he must be crowned.

In this dark hour Dunador has but one faithful servant: Hollend, chief advisor to the old king. Painfully aware of all that is at stake, Hollend has sought the aid of a brave party of adventurers in a desperate bid to tip the scales in favor of truth and justice. But, even as the party secretly enters Andevar, the forces of evil strike with blinding speed and ruthless determination.

 

T1: The Village of Hommlet (1981)

From the front cover:

INTRODUCTORY TO NOVICE LEVEL

The Village of Hommlet has grown up around a crossroads in a woodland. Once far from any important activity, it became embroiled in the struggle between gods and demons when the Temple of Elemental Evil arose but a few leagues away. Luckily for its inhabitants, the Temple and its evil hordes were destroyed a decade ago, but Hommlet still suffers from incursions of bandits and strange monsters . . .

This module contains a map of the village and lands around, a large scale map of the inn, church, trading post, and guard tower (main floor, upper rooms and cellars), an informational key regarding the inhabitants, and a map and exploration key for a destroyed moat house, a former outpost of the Temple of Elemental Evil. The whole provides a complete, ready-to-play scenario, and is a lead-in to DUNGEON MODULE T2, THE TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL.

Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective Game (1981)

Published by Sleuth Publications in 1981.

In the game, the player (or players) reads a brief introduction to a case, then decides where to look for clues, and consults a booklet telling what clues are found at that location. When a player believes he or she knows the details of the case, the player moves on to the quiz book and answers questions about the case. Players earn points by answering questions correctly, but lose points for each location visited beforehand.

The game is made up of booklets, maps, a clue-filled reproduction of The Times and a small directory telling the player which London locale to visit to speak to a character. Lacking a board, it functions as a hybrid between a traditional game book and a conventional tabletop game.
