Hi,

I've been trying, off and on, to track down information on the RPGA adventures, for Spelljammer, for over ten years.

I keep seeing the same list, from Echohawk's Spelljammer Collectors Guide (which he has put up three times, and other people have quoted):
Echohawk at ENWorld wrote:The Unsung, Fantastic & Perilous Expedition of Ironhelm Jones' Rock Bottom Dwarven Mining Company (Winter Fantasy 1991)
In His Majesty's Spacial Service (1991)
Adrift (Spelljammer Masters, Winter Fantasy 1993)
Down and Out in Drydock (Spelljammer Masters, 1993)
Adrift in Wildspace (1995)


I've found out, on The Piazza, that In His Majesty's Spacial Service was reprinted in Polyhedron Issue 81, in 1993. (But, I still would like to know how much the format changed, from 1991 to 1993, if at all.)

And, I've found out, from a page, called: RPGA Gaming History of Donald J. Bingle that Adrift had two rounds. I think that means there were two different adventures, that tied into one plot. (So there might be an Adrift Part 1 and Adrift Part 2 adventure, where players could do Part 1 on Saturday and Part 2 on Sunday.)

That's about all I can find out.

RPG Geek does't have individual articles for these adventures - just a copy of Echohawk's list (the second version).

And, I can't find anyone selling these adventures on eBay.

Even, if the sales price was too high for me or they were not shipping to my part of the world, I'd love to grab the information about the products, to confirm what has two or more parts, confirm who wrote what, and, hopefully get the product blurb, for each adventure. (Ideally, I want to get enough information to put up an article on Spelljammer Wiki, that gives people an outline of the adventure.)

I've seen 1e adventures that predate Spelljammer. And I can find a reasonable amount of information about things like Living City, Living Jungle, Living Greyhawk and Living Forgotten Realms. But I'm really turning up nothing for the Spelljammer adventures.:(

Is there anyone here, who was active in the RPGA, at this time?

Did the RPGA send out any adverts or emails about these adventures?

Can you confirm the product blurb for any of these?

Were any of them run more than once? Is there a list of events run at conventions anywhere?

Did anyone write up adventure summaries, in a mailing list, you might have a copy of?

Is Adrift a two part adventure?
