Dungeons of Dread - S1 to S4 for AD&D 1e in Hand


True confessions here.

Although S1 - Tomb of Horrors, was one of the first adventures I ever bought (along with A1 and G1-3), it was years before I owned S2, -White Plume Mountain. I borrowed a copy of S3 years ago because my players wanted me to run it - lasers and robots sounded cool, so they went on an Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.

As far as I know, this is my first time looking at S4 - The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth.

Damn, it would kill me to cut out the visuals for S1 from this book ;)

Looks well put together at quick perusal - I need to spend more time with it to say more than that at the moment. Well, there's lots of art. More than I expected. Pretty cool actually.

  1. I think my copy arrives on Friday....these are four modules I actually ran back then, and again in 2nd and 3rd edition. I'm really eager for a skip down memory lane when it arrives!

  2. I am thrilled with mine. But I loved the S Series when I first got them. S4 is still one of my favorites.

  3. Man Tenkar, yo0u got yours first again!

    I'm looking forward to getting this one. While I was never a fan of S3, just because after it all the characters for a while ran around with laser pistols. But S4 is fantastic. It was the first time I encountered the bodak. A lot of great stuff in that adventure.
