Hello everyone,
First, I would like to complement everyone here for such a great web site and say how much I have enjoyed and used the various aspects of it.  I am an old player from the 80's trying to complete my personal collection of 1st edition AD&D.  I am hesitant to post this as a new topic, but I could not find a better place or way to ask the question.

I was hoping someone who owns this module could answer a question that I have.  I need to know what this module came with, i.e. did it come with a separate fold out color map or if it just had the maps printed on the inside of the cover and if so, was it a double cover?

I checked the module list and did a search here, but no dice.  I am fairly new to online searching and if there is another web site or place I could find this type of information in the future, I would greatly appreciate the info.

Thanks, Ralph Harvey

The TSR Archive also has this sort of information.

However, I have found several errors in its listings, and it's impossible to know whether one of its listings has an error unless you already know the truth.

While that is true, it is overall exceptionally accurate, and 99% complete for regular items.


Ralph - welcome.  You've already been pointed to a couple excellent sites.  It's a good idea to use Search at first, but if you can't find the answer, this is certainly an acceptable question for the forum.

I am 100% certain this module is just a cover and the regular booklet - no double cover, no foldout map.  When I was rebuilding my collection, it was one of the modules I most wanted - I'm the one guy who likes it.  

Awesome!  Thanks everyone for the fast answers!  I knew someone here would know.  It is one of the few modules that I am not familiar with.  I need about 25 or so items to complete my collection.  I am focusing on TSR 1st edition AD&D but I have bits and pieces of just about every game they made during that time period as well as other companies.  It will not be all inclusive of TSR, but it will be what I always wanted to own since I started playing.  I hope to contribute and help answer questions, but I am no expert.  I have not played in years, but I hope to introduce my kids to it in the next couple years.  I have my doubts that it can compete with the video games of today.  Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks again

Ralph

As Benjoshua said, kids should ideally be introduced to pen-and-paper roleplaying before they get too independent and ornery to listen to you.

From what I have seen, an 11-year-old will still listen to his parents.

I have my doubts that it can compete with the video games of today.  Any thoughts or suggestions?

Set up a regular game night to play non-video games.  Board games, RPGs, card games, whatever.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I dug out an extra basic 1st edition D&D set, couple modules and some dice.  Planning a game night for my oldest daughter.  See ya in the caverns!

I can concur with TheHistorian.  This is one module that was purchased new and the shrink removed so no double cover or foldout map.  I have fond memories of going through this one.

I used Fantasy Forest in the same way. Also, Dungeon! is a great way to work on math. None of my kids have ever played D&D ort any rpg. But we break out the occassional board game like Wizards Quest.
