An excerpt from A Treatise on the Life of the High Moor by the druid Bara:

The environment includes things such as terrain, flora, fauna, weather, and natural and arcane forces.

This appendix includes two booklets penned by friends of Elminster of Shadowdale. Collected here are:

- a 32-page booklet containing the words of the inimitable Bara, feisty druid of the High Moor, describing the ecology of that region;

- a 32-page booklet by the Lark of Suzail that gives her descriptions of the slithering inhabitants of the Serpent Hills; and

- a brief booklet of tables to aid the Dungeon Master in determining random encounters for adventurers whose travels take them through these areas.

A Campaign of Madness and Terror in the Days to Come

Salvaging Our Children's Heritage
Full Wilderness Inc. is a wealthy environmental organization dedicated to the maintenance and expansion of protected wilderness reserves. In addition, Full Wilderness funds legitimate biological researches for the greater understanding of our natural environment.

Dr Peter Tait, a respected microbiologist from a major grant recipient, disappeared after reporting disturbing research irregularities. Backed by the considerable resources of Full Wilderness, the investigators uncover the facts surrounding Dr. Tait's disappearance.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse (2nd Edition) (1994)

From the web:

This is the core book for Werewolf: The Apocalypse. In this game, players play werewolves (the Garou). The Garou believe they were made by Gaia to protect the weaker species and fight against The Wyrm, who tries to corrupt the world.

This book mainly deals with the different characters a player can create. A characters abilities are governed by three important facts: his breed, auspice and tribe.

Breed denotes the character's parents: a Homid had human parents, a Metis had (two) Garou parents (and is sterile himself) and a Lupus had wolf parents. A Homid will have more aptitude for dealing with humans, a Lupus will better know his way in the wilds, while the Metis has the best understanding of Garou culture.

Auspice is the moon under which the character was born, which determines his role in the pack:
- Ragabash (New Moon - The Trickster: questioner of the ways)
- Theurge (Crescent Moon - The Seer: searcher of the ways)
- Philodox (Half Moon - The Judge: keeper of the ways)
- Galliard (Gibbous Moon - The Moon Dancer: lover of the ways)
- Ahroun (Full Moon - The Warrior: protector of the ways).

Tribe is the group of Garoun the character belongs to. These are like "nations" to the Garou, and have different territories and a different outlook on the world.

Character advancement is done in two ways. First of all, characters will earn experience and will grow in strenght because of that. However, a Garou also needs to accumulate Renown in order to advance in their society. Renown comes in three forms: Glory, Honor and Wisdom. A Garou will need all three to advance, though the emphasis does differ between the Auspices. An Ahroun will set less stock by Wisdom than a Theurge will.

Monstrous Compendium Planescape Appendix (1994)

From the web:

There are lots of bashers that can plant you pretty fast, out here in the planes. And that's the only "pretty" thing about most of 'em. A blood's got to know what's what, or the results won't rise.

What a cutter needs is a guide to what's out there, and if it's twice as big as the previous guide and illustrated in color, that's just a bonus. Sure, there's been other guides to planar creatures, but most are hard to find, don't scan the turf, or just don't have the straight chant....

City State of the Invincible Overlord (1976) - Revised Edition

From the web:

The City-State of the Invincible Overlord was the first fantasy RPG setting ever published (1976). It features a huge walled city that is ruled by the eponymous (lawful evil) Overlord and the surrounding environs that are full of adventure possibilities. What was so striking at the time that it was first released was the incredible level of detail that the product contains. Hundreds of streets are mapped, named, and populated with shops, temples, inns, taverns, brothels, houses, barracks, and the like. Hundreds of NPCs are listed along with their stats and rumors they know (for starting adventures). The history and political system of the City State is described along with relevant laws the PC's must abide by while inside the city. It includes dungeon levels beneath the City State and detailed information for nearby adventure / dungeon sites: the dwarven fortress "Thunderhold" and the "Sunstone Caverns".

The City State was designed for Dungeons & Dragons (Original Edition) but was not officially licensed for D&D until 1978. The license ended in 1983. It was printed many times over the life of Judges Guild and changed in size and configuration in subsequent editions.

FIRST EDITION
The first "edition" was spread out across several different publications / releases throughout 1976:

• City State Map: A 34" x 44" map of the City State
• Initial Guidelines Booklet I: A 16-page booklet with charts, rules and background data for the City State such as NPCs, crimes and trials, etc.
• City State Player's Map: A 17" x 22" map of the City State (originally printed on four 8.5" x 11" sheets) that was blank inside for players to fill in details as they explored the city
• Dungeon Level Maps I 1-5: Five dungeon levels beneath the City State
• Guide to the City State: A 56-page booklet detailing hundreds of shopkeepers and other NPC's, background information, special buildings, and additional rules for running campaigns in the City State
• Thunderhold & Sunstone Caverns Maps: 11" x 17" map with the dwarven fortress on one side and the caverns on the other
• Initial Guidelines Booklet J: A 12-page booklet with additional charts, rules and background data for Thunderhold and Sunstone Caverns
• Dungeon Level Maps J: Four dungeon levels beneath Thunderhold

In 1977 the above items were bundled together into one heat-sealed baggie with a cover sheet entitled City State of the Invincible Overlord.

REVISED EDITION
In 1978, Judges Guild compiled and edited all of the information from the various booklets into one 80-page book and released it as a "Revised Edition". Included in this release were two 22.5" x 28.5" maps of the City State (judge, player), an 11" x 17" judge's map of Thunderhold/Sunstone Caverns, and an 8.5" x 11" player's map of Thunderhold/Sunstone Caverns. This configuration was reprinted, potentially with minor edits, in 1979 and 1980.

• In 1981 the Thunderhold/Sunstone Cavern maps were incorporated into the main book, which grew to 96 pages to incorporate a new layout and illustrations.
• In 1983 the cover was changed to remove the "Approved for use with Dungeons & Dragons" claim.

FRE1: Shadowdale (1989)

From the back cover:

"Cast out from their heavenly domain, the gods of the Forgotten Realms wander the land as mortals - extremely powerful mortals, to be certain, but mortals nonetheless. They seek the lost Tablets of Fate, the key to their return. But as the good and evil gods of the Realms bring their fight down to earth, the people and lands are caught in between. Nature itself revolts: Strange creatures stalk the countryside, and even magic becomes unpredictable.

When a band of adventurers are hired by a young apprentice to rescue her sorceress mentor, little do they realize the size of the stakes they will soon be playing for. Caught up in a power struggle that will determine the fate of the Realms themselves, the first step is to find the only mortal who may know what's going on - the legendary sage Elminster. And that means going to Shadowdale."

You must face deadly assassins, nightmarish monsters, and violent storms on your way across the Dalelands. And the worst threat of all is an unexpected one - the man who helped you earlier has now joined the side of Bane and the forces of Zhentil Keep."

The Magic Encyclopedia (Volume One) (1992)

From the back of the book:

All AD&D game campaigns have one thing in common - treasure. Of course, some campaigns have more treasure than others, but it is the lure of treasure that entices intrepid adventurers of any world away from the warmth and safety of home and hearth and sets them plunging into labyrinthine depths or into the uncharted wilderness to face fearsome beasts.

To an adventurer, the most prized treasure of all is magic. Open this book and you will find a concise listing of every enchanted item ever invented for TSR, Inc.'s fantasy role playing games. The list in Volume One runs from Abacus to Goblet. The listing includes an experience point value and a gold piece sale value for each item. At last, you'll know exactly what every bauble in any hoard is really worth. No need to keep guessing. The listing also identifies the product where the item is described and the page number where you can find it. A complete list of those products (current through December, 1992) is also provided.

Ever wonder what a phylactery is? Do you know what a diadem looks like or how a chaplet is worn? Don't wonder anymore! This book also contains an illustrated description of each kind of item...

The Autarch glances down at his desk, noting a message from this morning. Spies report the arrival of adventurers, ones of some renown. Instantly, he has the solution to his problem. Adventurers can get those items. They'll do anything for money.

The good dragons of Krynn need help. Recruited by the silver dragon Saramber, the player characters have joined ranks with the dragons and sought to solve the mystery behind the deaths of many silver and bronze dragons and passed the tests set out for them, earning the trust of these ancient creatures.

But now, Saramber fears evil dragons have discovered the portal that could lead them to the dragons' homeland.

The adventure leads player characters from the plains of Lunitari to the depths of the ocean and the abode of monstrous Artha, banished daughter of Takhisis.

This third module brings to a climax the epic tale begun in DLE 1, In Search of Dragons, and continued in DLE2, Dragon Magic. On success or failure hangs the fate of tone of the noblest races of Krynn.

 

DLE2: Dragon Magic (1989)

From the back cover:

The Moons of Krynn are fading. The alignment forces of Good, Evil, and Neutrality are locked in conflict... and evil seems to be winning! The unnatural machinations of the treacherous Khardra—daughter of Takhisis herself!—have led to a crisis of cosmic proportions.

The nature of a plague claiming the lives of silver dragonhood is revealed, and the cure is presented to the companions. But the road to success is fraught with peril, the only route leading through a secret portal. If this portal becomes known to the forces of evil, disaster will surely result.

This AD&D® adventure, set in the world of the DRAGONLANCE® saga, follows DLE1 — In Search of Dragons. Some burning questions are answered but more are raised.

Good, Evil, Neutrality. These three forces exist in a delicate balance, a balance crucial to the harmony of all things. Now that harmony is threatened and all of Krynn is in jeopardy.

For reasons unknown, the balance among Krynn's good, evil, and neutral dragons is shifting: A deadly affliction is killing off silver dragons, and no one has seen a bronze dragon in months.

And as the adventure begins, a strange being named Khardra appears with a fascinating theory—that dragons are merely animals whose presence on Krynn may no longer be necessary!

In this AD&D® adventure set in the world of the DRAGONLANCE® saga, players must discover what is wrong with the good dragons of Krynn. And just who is Khardra, anyway? As they investigate these mysteries, players learn many secrets of dragons. How they use their newfound knowledge determines the fate of their world.

 

Dungeon Master's Screen (1981)

From the web: 

Dungeon Master's Screen consists of two durable and folding cardstock screens for the DM's reference use in playing ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: an 11" × 34" folder of the COMBAT AND SAVING THROW TABLES, and an 11" × 17" folder of the PSIONIC COMBAT TABLES.

These screens are useful for shielding maps and other game materials from the players when place upright, and also provide instant reference to the most commonly used charts and tables during play. The player's side is colorfully illustrated to help set the mood, as well as printed with tables for the more standard character classes and the WEAPONS TABLE. These folders have been laminated on both sides to protect them against common wear and tear. This (and only this) screen contains all the official AD&D statistics and tables.
