11-19-03, 02:39 PM The Jungles of Chult isn't an adventure module, it's a regional sourcebook.
jinat
11-19-03, 07:11 PM The product FRM1 The Jungles of Chult is an adventure for 6 to 8 characters of level 5 to 8. The first half gives regional setting information, the second half is the adventure itself called Heart of the Jungle. I am assuming that the adventure is set after the novel The Ring of Winter, thou since i have yet to play it im not sure of this.

11-19-03, 09:08 PM Are The Daggerdale Trilogy adventures the adventures involving the Sword of the Dales and such?

Hey great thankx people.
kuje31 the novel pool of radience is 1340 according to novel guide on the FR novel site. Im not sure but i think the novel and the module are the same.
Thou this does confuse me because ur right there was a flight of dragons before the Azure Bonds and the module Ruins of Adventure has got the code FRC1 while Azure Bonds is called FRC2, meaing their part of a series?
Hmmmm.... ok now im even more confused
Dargoth
11-20-03, 12:09 AM You also forgot the 4 I series modules set in the FR

I3 Pharoh

I4 Oasis of the white palm

I5 Lost tomb of Martek

Well hmmm, according to the Moonsea sourcebook (and remember newer sourcebooks over wrote older sourcebooks and novels, during 2e.) the Ruins of Adventure module should take place at 1347.

There's also the Shadowdale adventure in the revised campaign setting, that takes place after ToT.

I think only Desert of Desolation and Swords of the Iron Legion are FR specific..... the other three you mentioned, came out in in 1982 and 1983, so they really cant be part of FR..... But don't quote me on that. :)

Check out the FR Atlas

I3-5 are in the FR in the sea of Purple dust east of Unther

Check out "Marteks Tomb" on page 295 of the FRC

Apparently I3-5 have not been officially "Resolved"

True enough. :) I forgot to look in that book, so then it's 1340. :). Chalk it up to one of 2e's many errors.

11-24-03, 06:32 PM When the Desert of Desolation series came out, they were not FR specific. When they repackaged the whole thing into one "super module", it became FR specific.

11-25-03, 02:10 AM I forgot to add Knight of the Living Dead also and according to the City of Splendors box set that module took place in 1357DR.
Shylo Slick
11-25-03, 11:45 AM The Desert of Desolation is set in the Raurin Desert, you start the adventure in a nation just to the south of the Dustwall, travel north thru the Dustwall via Northknife pass into the Raurin Desert.

you exit the adventure to the far north past the plains of dust to the great lake "brightstar lake?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Halls of the High King take place just after the ToT, the High Hands fled their to start the risen cult of bane organization, and to attempt bane's ressurection, the mighty Dark Druid and his fellow High Hand of Bane adventurers never did believe he was gone for long.

whatever happened to the High Hands of Bane, they had an usually large and powerful group of evil adventurers, and all members where a master at some specialty, and the weakest member was a 15th level cleric of bane who was a realms master at some craft like torturer or spy.

It was put out by TSR and Catacomb books in 1989. It's # is 8422 and it has a skeleton fighter on the cover battling four others, and it was by Jeff Easley.
Faraer
11-25-03, 05:34 PM The Sword of the Dales et al. are the Dalelands trilogy, not the Daggerdale trilogy. Knight of the Living Dead is a programmed solo adventure, not a normal adventure module.

Some of the best Realms adventures weren't published as modules, including "Irongard", "The Whistling Skeleton", "The Halls of the Beast-Tamers", "Lashan’s Fall", "Vale of the Dragon Oracle", "Sleep of Ages", "Eye of Myrkul", and "The Dread Lair of Alokkair".
Lashan
11-25-03, 08:40 PM Actually, Shylo Slick, the original modules were released individually as I3, I4, and I5. They came out before Forgotten Realms boxed set came out. They were a great set of modules. Later, TSR repackaged some of their older series into "super modules" and made the tie-ins between adventures better. This happened to the "Desert of Desolation" series as well as the "Against the Slavers" series (A1-A4). When the new "Desert of Desolation" super module was published, it was then put into the FR. Now, I am not sure if they added new lands to FR or changed some of the names of the deserts and whatnot in the modules series to fit into the FR. I do insist that the module series came out prior to the original FR boxed set.

It is one of my favorite series of modules, though, especially Pyramid!

Incedintially, I6 Tomb of the Lizard King, is also a great module. I always fit it in the Flooded Forest in the Vast. Change Eor to Mulmaster and the whole thing works fine. Oh, and the village of Waycombe turns into Maskyr's Eye.

Which is what I thought since the info, from the web page I looked up the info on them, says they were made in 1982 or there abouts and FR material didn't come out untill five years later, except for what was printed in Dragon.

Kuje31 11-25-03, 02:10 AM	I forgot to add Knight of the Living Dead also and according to the City of Splendors box set that module took place in 1357DR.
Shylo Slick 11-25-03, 11:45 AM	The Desert of Desolation is set in the Raurin Desert, you start the adventure in a nation just to the south of the Dustwall, travel north thru the Dustwall via Northknife pass into the Raurin Desert. you exit the adventure to the far north past the plains of dust to the great lake "brightstar lake?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Halls of the High King take place just after the ToT, the High Hands fled their to start the risen cult of bane organization, and to attempt bane's ressurection, the mighty Dark Druid and his fellow High Hand of Bane adventurers never did believe he was gone for long. whatever happened to the High Hands of Bane, they had an usually large and powerful group of evil adventurers, and all members where a master at some specialty, and the weakest member was a 15th level cleric of bane who was a realms master at some craft like torturer or spy.

Sinister Convictions (soon after the Banedeath of 1361 DR). Buying Time (directly follows the destruction of Zhentil Keep 1368 DR).

Kuje31 11-25-03, 02:50 PM	Originally posted by jinat wow which module is this - ive never heard of it - what was on the cover ? It was put out by TSR and Catacomb books in 1989. It's # is 8422 and it has a skeleton fighter on the cover battling four others, and it was by Jeff Easley.
Faraer 11-25-03, 05:34 PM	The Sword of the Dales et al. are the Dalelands trilogy, not the Daggerdale trilogy. Knight of the Living Dead is a programmed solo adventure, not a normal adventure module. Some of the best Realms adventures weren't published as modules, including "Irongard", "The Whistling Skeleton", "The Halls of the Beast-Tamers", "Lashan’s Fall", "Vale of the Dragon Oracle", "Sleep of Ages", "Eye of Myrkul", and "The Dread Lair of Alokkair".
Lashan 11-25-03, 08:40 PM	Actually, Shylo Slick, the original modules were released individually as I3, I4, and I5. They came out before Forgotten Realms boxed set came out. They were a great set of modules. Later, TSR repackaged some of their older series into "super modules" and made the tie-ins between adventures better. This happened to the "Desert of Desolation" series as well as the "Against the Slavers" series (A1-A4). When the new "Desert of Desolation" super module was published, it was then put into the FR. Now, I am not sure if they added new lands to FR or changed some of the names of the deserts and whatnot in the modules series to fit into the FR. I do insist that the module series came out prior to the original FR boxed set. It is one of my favorite series of modules, though, especially Pyramid! Incedintially, I6 Tomb of the Lizard King, is also a great module. I always fit it in the Flooded Forest in the Vast. Change Eor to Mulmaster and the whole thing works fine. Oh, and the village of Waycombe turns into Maskyr's Eye.

Which is what I thought since the info, from the web page I looked up the info on them, says they were made in 1982 or there abouts and FR material didn't come out untill five years later, except for what was printed in Dragon.
