DRAGONLANCE #1 COMIC BOOK!

RARE and OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM FOR FANS OF THE FANTASY ROLE PLAYING GAME.

The first issue of a comic book published in 1988 by DC Comics and TSR.

Includes character and item statistics for Sturm Brightblade (8th Level Fighter), Magic Item: Medallion of Majere, and Magic Item: Dragonlance.

Long ago, the world of Krynn fell victim to the Cataclysm. That fiery event reshaped the landscape and marked the rise of evil. Today, the dread Lord Soth and his undead Deathknights threaten to crush the world under their thumb. They have also brought back dragons, terrible fire breathing monsters not seen for ages.

Luckily, there are still those who stand against them. A few of the old Solamnic Knights, warriors in the service of the god Paladine, still survive. These are joined by a group of heroes which include spellcasters, thieves, clerics, and warriors. Aiding them in their fight against evil is a mighty artifact of the previous age: the Dragonlance. This magical weapon was enchanted to make it especially effective against dragons and evil creatures. Because of this, it is the weapon that Soth and his minions fear the most.

* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0935696210
* ISBN-13: 978-0935696219


"THIS TOME CONTAINS ALPHABETICAL LISTINGS OF MONSTERS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH THE ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS GAME SYSTEM. EACH CREATURE IS DESCRIBED AND MOST ARE ILLUSTRATED FOR EASY IDENTIFICATION."

1981 ... Don Turnbull (editor) ... 128 pages ... TSR 2012 ... ISBN 0935696210


Fiend Folio is a second tome of monsters for the AD&D first edition game. It came after the original Monster Manual, but before Monster Manual II.

While the monsters in the Monster Manuals are primarily authored by Gary Gygax, the monsters in the Fiend Folio are created by players of the game itself in the United Kingdom. In truth, the book is a compilation of other people's creations, and some monsters (namely from the D series) from AD&D modules.

That said, Fiend Folio feature some monsters that survives to this day in the 3rd edition: the slaad, kenku, githyanki, githzerai, aarakocra, achaierai, bullywug, the ever popular death knight, mephits, gibberlings, grimlocks, penaggalan, to name a few.


The 128-page hardcover Fiend Folio owes much of its content to "Fiend Factory", at the time a regular column appearing in Games Workshop's magazine White Dwarf. Material was drawn from the first ten issues of the magazine. Also edited by Turnbull, "Fiend Factory" also featured new AD&D monsters, many of them created by gamers who read the magazine. The book used the same format as that of the Monster Manual, clearly and succinctly defining the each monster's specifications and abilities

FORGOTTEN REALMS LT ED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS COMIC BOOK 96

FORGOTTEN REALMS GRAND TOUR. LIMITED EDITION!
ADVANCED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS COMIC BOOK!

RARE and OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM FOR FANS OF THE FANTASY ROLE PLAYING GAME.

A PROMOTIONAL comic book published in 1996 by TSR.

In the tradition of the TSR Dungeons & Dragons role playing game.

The Grand Tour plunges readers into the amazing world of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, a popular fantasy role-playing game rich in history, intrigue, mystery and incredible creatures. Prompted by his overzealous friends, young Preston boldly confronts the legendary wizard Elminster, seeking the position of apprentice. The powerful mage is more amused than annoyed, and soon the normally awkward young man finds himself spirited away on a journey through both Time and Space, facing one dangerous situation after another.

Ancient races, lost kingdoms, and secret treasures are displayed for the young wizard’s hungry eyes, as well as several monstrous creatures straight from his worst nightmares. He soon realizes he’s no match for the deadly forces Elminster faces on a daily basis, but at least he walks away from the encounter alive and with an amazing story for his friends.

From the preface: "The various creatures contained herein are for use in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. Parameters have been set for that game. Those monsters drawn from my original work have been revised and expanded upon accordingly. Except as noted, all new monsters are strictly of this author's creation--just as all those which appeared in The Strategic Review were--and I take the burden of full responsibility for them. It is necessary to acknowledge the contributions of the following persons: Steve Marsh for devising the creatures for undersea encounters which originally appeared in Blackmoor, as I have radically altered them herein; Erol Otus for doing the preliminary work and illustrations of the anhkheg and remorhaz which appeared in The Dragon; Ernie Gygax for the water weird and for his help in solidifying many of the characteristics of the creatures herein; Terry Kuntz, who was never thanked for his prototypical beholder, a revised version of which was included in Greyhawk; to the whole crew at TSR, and to Brian Blume, Tim Kask, and Dave Sutherland in particular, is due thanks for helping me get this whole project into a manuscript; and to my wife, Mary, who has been stuck with the job of typing most of the manuscript, my apologies for mistakes needing correcting and my admiration for staying with it day after day. If I have missed thanking any other person, please pardon the oversight."

"This book provides a complete alphabetical listing of all 'monsters' encountered in the various works which comprise the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game system. It is an invaluable aid to players and Dungeon Masters alike!"

Greetings, kind travelers! The roads south to the Lands of Intrigue are long and dusty indeed, but they are roads to greatness and glory for merchants, adventurers, and scholars all. Folk with mettle enough to brave these lands will be challenged and astounded by forms of power, magic, and culture that are found nowhere else in Faerûn.

Developed from out–of–print material originally found in FR3 Empires of the Sands, this expansion provices more than 150 pages of new information. What's inside:
# Book One: Tethyr (96 pages) presents the many facets of Tethyr, from its origin as an elven homeland through its rise and fall as a human nation and up to its recent restoration from anarchy. While this growing realm is now the sagest fo the Lands of Intrigue, it was onde the seat of the malevolent Empire of Shoon – whose influence still haunts the golden plains in the form of roving monsters, wandering ghosts, and the terrors of times past.
# Book Two: Amn (64 pages) collates all that is Amn – or, as some call it, the Coinland. Money is this ocuntry's lifeblood, whether gleaned from the trade along the Sword Coast ot eht far–off colonies of New Amn. However, a dark dawn has risen on those whose eyes see no further than their ledgers and coin stacks....
# Book Three: Erlkazar & Folk of Intrigue (32 pages) reveals the formerly undocumented domain of Erlkazar, east of Tethyr – an area ready to be fleshed out by DMs to suit their individual campaigns. Book Three also holds the secrets of the hidden powers of the South, such as the Cowled Wizards, theKnights of the Shield, the Shadow Thieves, and the undead sorcerers of the Twisted Rune.
# Two poster maps detail the Lands of Intrigue, the Pirate Isles of the Nelanther, and the center of the long–dead Shoon Empire, the monster–riddled ruins of Shoonach.
# More than a dozen additional maps depict all the cities of AAmn and Tethyr, as well as the distant Maztican colonies.
