TSR Tuesday - New PoD Releases - Heroes, Locations and Clans Undermountain
So, what do we have this week?
FR7 - Hall of Heroes: Hall of Heroes provides complete histories and AD&D game statistics for such beloved characters as Elminster, the greatest sage and magic user of the Realms, Tristan Kendrick and Robyn of the Moonshae isles, Wulfgar the Barbarian, Drizzt the dark elf, and Bruenor the dwarf, all from the northern reaches, plus Alias and Dragonbait, Shandril and Narm Tamaraith, and many more.
But the Hall of Heroes is more that a listing of game statistics: It's also a sourcebook describing (among other things) artificial and magical lifeforms of the Realms, as well as the lives of the world's elves, dwarves, lizardmen, and exotic creatures.
Fantastic Locations - Hellspike Prison - its for 3.5, so...
GAZ14 - The Atruaghin Clans: The Atruaghin Clans is the fourteenth book in the best-selling Gazetteer series. It provides a complete description of the culture, history, and goals of the noble Children of Atruaghin. Included in this product are:
- A 64-page Player's Book that provides rules for Atruaghin character creation and introduces the Shamani, a new character class.
- A 32-page DM's Guide that details the history of the Atruaghin Clans, the unique Immortals that they worship, and several sample characters.
- A large, full-color map that details the geography of the Atruaghin Plateau and the lands around it.
Note on the Print version: The Player's Book, DM's Guide and Map have been combined into a single Softcover volume.
Undermountain - Stardock: This DUNGEON CRAWL adventure returns once more the the hallowed halls of Undermountain, but it's a different day. At dawn of Highharvestide 1369, every practitioner of magic on the Sword Coast knew there was a problem. By midmorning, the Lords of Waterdeep confirmed the ill omens: Some brave souls worthy of the title "Hero" must enter Undermountain on a mission to save Halaster Blackcloak! Could these heroes be your group of player characters?
This is a stand-alone module and does not require extra support materials. It can be placed into a campaign on any AD&D world, but best fits and impacts a FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign set in Undermountain or Waterdeep.

Oooh! One of the Mystara Gazetteers! Totally snagging that one. I hope the other 13 in the series become POD as well. There's just something real nice about holding a book in your hands, and those GAZ books tend to go ridiculously high on the secondary market.
ReplyDeleteWhat does the map in the print version of the Gazetteers look like? Does anyone know yet? Being able to get the print versions of the older D&D books is super exciting to me as getting new copies of the maps is huge to me. Working from PDFs isn't bad overall, but the maps present a unique challenge.
ReplyDeleteEach side of the map is reproduced as one colour page, Pippin.
