  • The Ruined City Welcome My Brave Heroes!
    The Ruined City Welcome my brave Heroes! Once again I need your help. But first let me tell you a story. A long time ago the mighty Bretonian Quest Knight, Adonar, was on his way home from the great crusade. In his hands he was holding a chalice crafted by the Lady of the Lake. The chalice was said to have the power to heal the deadliest wound and to be able to restore life to the dead. But he never reached his homeland. It is written that he was defeated by a mighty Chaos Warband and the chalice was lost. Many years later rumours have been heard of a small temple in the town of Schnappelburg, where priests perform the "True Healing". Two weeks ago Schnappelburg was overrun and ransacked by a evil Orc Warband. Now you must go to the ruins of Schnappelburg and find the holy chalice before the Orcs can find it. Act with haste my friends. The magic portal is prepared... Mentor Notes Wandering Monster: A "You are entering the Town Hall. A mean Goblin smiles at you and yells: 'Intruders!'" "As you open the door you see an innocent maiden: 'Thank you for saving my life. I'm Theresa. They killed everyone in town, but my father, our Wizard, has sealed the Tom on the Bretonian Knight and put the key in the bookcase in the library. Please take me out alive.'"

  • Beneath Spire Rock 09.Pages
    BACKGROUND In the time before the Great Rain of Fire, the men of Blackmoor had several survey stations set up around the northern polar rim to monitor the Beastmen that had been driven into those areas. A spur of rock jutting from beneath a depression in the glacier made for the perfect location for one such station, sheltered from the frigid winds, and far enough from the magic-nullifying zone that blanketed the great opening into the center of the planet. Scientists and technomancers conducted research on the anti magical region, and its effects on the local flora and fauna. Some of these specimens were placed in hibernation, to be shipped across the Brunian Sea to be studied at the University. But then disaster struck: The planet heaved and roiled like a thing alive and enraged. The skies blackened, and the rains of molten stone and elemental Fire began. The bed of ice in which the station had been built sheltered it from the worst of the punishment. The station’s Throne relays tumbled and blew away like petals under a giant’s breath, and flaming stone sealed the access shaft. The earthquakes and wrenching of the lands around the station upset several of the scientists’ experiments, and also knocked one of the dragonstone reactors offline. One of the staff was caught in the outflow vent as the reactor’s shielding collapsed, and fell to possession of one of the demonic entities that had been trapped in the black dragonstone at the core of the power plant. Other, weaker demons, diffused through the station, some of them able to find refuge in the remaining scientists and staff.

    Dungeons&Dragons Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, version 2.7 Well met and welcome to the Collectors Checklist! I made this checklist for myself to keep track of what TSR products I own. Many times was I in the position to photocopy (“Xerox”) a module or booklet that the owner didn’t wish to sell. So gradually my collection expanded with not only genuine products but also with photocopies. Since the coming of the officially digitized classic products (PDF) it is even harder to keep track of what product you own in what format. With the Collectors Checklist you will be able to sort your whole Dungeons&Dragons collection, no matter what the format is! For those out there who haven’t got a clue, here’s how to use the Collectors Checklist: TSR-Code : The product’s publishing code Sub-Code : When a product belongs to a specific group of products it carries this code Title : The product’s title (dah!) Hardcopy : Check this if you have the original item Copy : Check this if you have a copy (Xeroxcopy for instance) of the original product PDF : Check this if you have a digital copy(.pdf/.doc/etc.) of the original product HINT: you can even write down the number when you own more than one copy of a product ; ) If you think any items are missing, please mail me at [email protected] .

  • Dragon Magazine Dungeon Grimtooth's Traps the Strategic
    over art this month has been rendered for us by long-time contributor Dean Morrissey. Inspiration for Dean’s painting came from this month’s adventure of Niall of the Far Travels, “The Cube from Beyond” by Gardner Fox. Title page and interior art are also courtesy of Dean’s talented hand. Gar will have further accounts of Niall in upcoming issues of The Dragon, so don’t go ’way. This month The Dragon welcomes game designer, advertising agency ex- ecutive, and new publisher/editor of The Space Gamer, Steve Jackson. Steve (in my opinion) makes the game he designed even greater with his variant “Stellar Conquest for Two.” It is our hope that Steve will find time in his busy schedule to contribute to The Dragon again in the future.

  • Silver Game Guide
    Silver Game Guide All the women of Jarrah have been taken captive by the vile sorcerer, Silver. He is looking for the perfect consort, or so he told his children. His plans are far more diabolical than anyone can imagine. He wishes to form an alliance with the dark god, Apocalypse, and his children have no clue as to what is really going on. His son, Fuge, stands by him and follows all orders to the letter. His daughter, Glass, is a little more pragmatic. She is not so foolhardy and even holds a grudge against her father for killing her mother. Now that you know the enemy, it is time to learn of good guys. David is the leader of the small group. His wife, Jennifer, was taken captive by Fuge, and he vowed revenge. He is a warrior at heart, with strong ideals and an even stronger heart. Over the course of his travels he meets up with five other heroes like himself who vow to help him until the end. These are Sekune, Vivienne, Jug, Cagen and Chiaro. Together, the six of them vow to put an end to Silver's ironfisted rule. The heroes travel through various realms that differ from each other like night from day. They go to the land of the dead, an arctic land, a vile swamp and even to a cathedral at the bottom of the sea! Over the course of their travels they collect many weapons and artifacts, all of which will be put to use. Using these, they will have to fight monsters both great and small, including a pair of dragons! The game hosts beautifully made backgrounds and wonderful music.
