Dungeon Masters Adventure Log

The Dungeons Masters Adventure Log, billed as a "Fantasy Adventure Module" on the front cover, is a DM's tool for tracking a party of adventurers and their encounters in an easy to read format.

The product is centered around two sheets, and the booklet is printed so they are opposing pages. The first captures the essential information for each member of a party of adventurers (name, alignment, hit points, etc). The second tracks collective information on the group (marching order and light sources carried), and key elements of their encounters (basic information on the monsters, treasure, and unusual events).

The inside front cover, the first three pages, and the last page reprint an eclectic assortment of game rules from the Dungeon Masters Guide that weren't included in the Dungeon Masters Screen (for instance, combat modifiers, magical aging sources, and how much it costs to hire an NPC to cast a spell). The four inner pages have utilitarian sketches of various types of armor, helmets, barding, and weapons with a focus on those that are less commonly known (such as polearms).

The inside back cover has two sample log pages, including several characters from Basic Dungeons & Dragons (e.g. Morgan Ironwolf, Black Dougal), several players who made contributions to the industry (including Dave Cook, Steve Marsh, and Tom Moldvay), and jokes (Elron Hubbard, the chaotic neutral magic-user thief).

Dragonlance DLR3: Unsung Heroes

From back cover:

Caramon, Raistlin, Tika, Laurana, Tanis, Sturm, Flint, Tasselhoff...heroes all, their names are known by everyone familiar with their saga. But there are others as well: veterans of the War of the Lance, players behind the scenes, and even those who had no involvement wit the War whatsoever who are still heroes in their own right. Many are presented here for the first time. Among them:

- Grindlethorpe, the first Krynnish gnome to complete three Life-quests
- Fester, Queen of the Gully Dwarves of Mudhole, wife to Nomscul, Best Cook, Chief Shaman, and Queen's First Husband (a much more distinguished title than "King")
- Liliornin, an elven wizard whose first adventure pitted her against a death knight and an enclave of Wizards of the Black Robe (and introduced here to her longtime adventuring companion)and many, many others.

Each entry is presented in a format akin to the Monstrous Compendium pages, with statistics, proficiencies and other pertinent information, a description, and background material, among other things. Many entries first appeared in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Trading Cards, and have been expanded for inclusion in this product.

Diomin lies at the juncture between the Spirit World and the Divine Realm, created by the One God to act as a bridge between the two. The result of this is sorcery and mortal life.
