I got in an AD&D Dioramas set (1983) in the shop. It's got the whole stable of toy characters, Warduke, Strongheart, and the rest.

Didn't see much online about it, and hadn't heard of it before now. I took a bunch of pics and posted 'em on the blog.

How were the gemstones supposed to be used?

On the bases and you could glue them onto the characters as well.

The "gemstones" look like some kind of aquarium gravel to me.

Never seen that one before! All these years and I keep discovering new (to me) D&D items. One of the aspects I really enjoy about the hobby.

There’s a lot of oddball items out there:



Tried to turn the photo upright but no luck.

Is that a dungeon door in the photo?  I was trying to figure out if it was a real one or not.  Love the D&D for Dummies book on top of it however it looks like a can or something.

Very nice Mike.

Definitely a dungeon door. The can is actually a puzzle.
