3 Boxes

My parents recently gave me three boxes of books- many rpgs- that I apparently stored in the attic before I went to college.

Aside from a load of old AD&D stuff, I found an old issue of Polyhedron, autographed by Frank Metzner, Penny Petticord, and Tom Moldvay. That makes me very happy.

Here is a list of all the old modules in the boxes:

• The Emirates of Ylaruam (D&D, no cover)
• B2 – Keep on the Borderlands (cover only)\
• B4 – The Lost City (the first D&D book I bought for myself, lucky me)
• B5 – Horror on the Hill (cover only)
• CM2 – Death Ride (cover only)
• X1 – the Isle of Dread (no cover)
• A3 – Assault on the Aerie of the Slave Lords (intact)
• A4 – in the Dungeons of the Slave Lords (no cover)
• C1 – The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan (2nd Ed., illustration book only, taped together)
• C1- The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan (4th Ed or later, one page of illustration book only)
• D1 – Descent into the Depths of the Earth (intact)
• D2 – Shrine of the Kuo-Toa (intact)
• D1-2 – Descent into the Depths of the Earth (missing interior maps)
• I1 – Dwellers of the Forbidden City (intact but heavily marked up including a scrawled pencil note: “Modify Heavily!” on front.  Weird.)
• I2 – The Tomb of the Lizard King (intact! though maps loose)
• N1 – Against the Cult of the Reptile God (missing dungeon map; oops!)
• N5 – Under Illefarn
• S1 – The Tomb of Horrors illustration book
• U2 – Danger at Dunwater (intact)
• U3 – The Final Enemy (intact)
• WG6 – Isle of the Ape (intact)
• Player Character records sheet (cover only)

Clearly my D&D books fared far worse than AD&D since almost none of those survived the horrors of my adolescent room- I recall having a fuller run of the X  and B series modules…
