Judges Guild - Escape From Astigar's Lair

From the web:

"Escape from Astigar's Lair is a scenario,\ for AD&D. It was the official Michicon VIII AD&D tournament dungeon. Two very detailed pre-rolled characters are provided; tournament players are judged on how well the characters are role-played. The PCs have one hour to escape from an evil wizard's stronghold.

Escape from Astigar's Lair is a module designed for tournament use, but it can be played out of that setting if desired. Players are given sixty minutes to escape from the halls of a bard, Egad, before he destroys them for following him in. Two characters are provided: a druid and a ranger. Their characteristics are given in full in the back. The Dungeon Master awards points or subtracts them for various feats performs of mistakes made.

This dungeon was designed to be a limited-time (real-time) dungeon with the players being allowed only an hour to complete their characters’ quest. Because of this limited time the dungeon is also set up to use its own very simplified initiative system."

Judges Guild - The Dungeoneer: The Adventuresome Compendium of Issues 1-6

From the inside cover, 1st paragraph:

"I would guess that the whole idea behind the publishing of a magazine is that someone has a concept that they would like to market and make money off of before somebody else thinks of it. Unfortunately, that's the way with most things in life. It's probably even one of the ideas behind this magazine, mercenary as it may seem. However, a lot of people publish magazines because they have an interest in something that inspires them enough to write about it and publish it. I hope that that's what you'll see in this zine. We here at The Dungeoneer want to put out a magazine that is purely a DM's publication, dealing with D&D, working it as sort of an optional supplement and as a place for the discussion and clarification of rules as we and others see them."

"This scenario is the third in a special series of connected adventures set in the Judges Guild Gateway Quadrant of the Traveller™ campaign universe. The Border Prowler series is designed to provide a Judge with a ready-made mini-campaign. Set up in tournament format with handout sheets of information, equipment, and pre-generated characters, this particular scenario can be accomplished with only a portion of the resources available in the crew and equipment of the Hrunta.

The Mission Briefing Statements on the handouts give sufficient background information for the play of that particular scenario."

Judges Guild - Dark Tower (D20 version)

From the back cover:

"An Ancient Evil has overtaken a once holy shrine. Thus, a sleepy mountain hamlet becomes a focal point for mysterious disappearances and even stranger legends of what lurks beneath the village.

Would any group of adventurous souls dare to probe the facts that lie behind the myths, or seek to right ancient wrongs, rescue secreted artifacts, or . . . even attempt to exterminate the source of evil itself?

This is no quest for the weak of spirit or strength. Beyond the cellars of Mitra's Fist lie strong allies and strange enemies, undead and undying, each seeking to involve the unwary in a titanic battle of good against evil, which can only end in destruction.

Riches, Power, Glory and Death! 

All are in Dark Tower"

"They Have Been Waiting.

For over a thousand years the things that lurk beneath the waters, skulk in the darkness and lie hungrily in dank crypts have been patient, while all around them men and monsters bicker among themselves, bold enough to traverse the dark caverns' depths, but afraid or perhaps wise enough to leave the forgotten vaults and hidden passages alone.

And still, they wait, undisturbed. They are waiting for you!"
