I just received a lot from ebay and found some cardboard stock maps stuffed inside OA4, Blood of the Yakuza. I don't think these items go with this module.

I have 15+ cardboard stock items, copyright TSR 1989, labeled:

Sewers and Tunnels of Kristophan
Waterfront
Imperial City
New City
Typical Gnome Citadel
Thenol Warriors
etc...

Any ideas? I'll feel like a fool if these go with OA4 :oops:

Sounds like Dragonlance. There were a zillion bits and bobs with dragonlance modules. You have two major clues, Kritopham & Thenol. If it were something Greyhawk I could tell you immediately. I didn't follow Dragonlance very closely, but Kristophan rings a bell.

Yep, Dragonlance. A cursory check of the TSR Archive suggests that they're from Time of the Dragon.

The Kristophan maps are definitely TotD. I'd have to dig out my copy, but I'm sure that is what the others are from as well... I only remember Kristophan because I once used it to fragment Greyhawk... that, and TotD is one of the few Dragonlance products I like.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Right, if it were Greyhawk the names would be Krithvoolpoolp and Thenolfthdyvva.

Yeah, I think Gygax and crew were doing as lot of Clark Ashton Smith. I'm reading 'The End of the Story' right now and the prose is as purple as a picture of a black hole on black velvet with black highlights in a black frame in a small, windowless black painted room, with the lights off, at midnight.
