A poster at Dragonsfoot made an interesting statement regarding some non-UK modules, apparently produced by "other divisions" of TSR in other countries, to the tune of a bunch of releases, which are, in that poster's estimation, considerably better than most the rest of the official products. And me, not really claiming to be a history aficionado, come to the esteemed sages of these parts to ask a simple question: Ever hear of any of these --

I can't find anything about them either.  Doubtful that they are related to TSR at all.  Most foreign companies that produced items for TSR were not subsidiaries but just had the license and I don't think that license included producing new items.

Also, if they are foreign editions not from the UK where are they from?  Canada or Australia?  I think all other foreign editions were published in their respective language - hence foreign.  With the US so close, Canada would not have published their own modules.

F1 Crystal Lake

A low level adventure where your party faces Jason Voorhees. Or, do they face his mother in this one and then Jason in F2 and F3 AND F4,F5,F6,F7,F8,F9....

Thanks, guys. I have asked that poster if there are scans of the covers, which I was told "no, I don't have a scanner" [usual first sign of complete BS], to which I asked for any image, even a photograph or a listing of authors since that poster seemed to indicate they had intimate knowledge / ownership of all of these alleged documents; I had checked here and in usual places before posting about it, so if they exist [I am very skeptical, but since this is not my forte, I'd thought it best to seek advice] maybe a trove of wonderment awaits... but, I really doubt it.

There was that guy selling those convention(?) modules on ebay a while ago, Can't remember the names...anyone?... but I don't think they were them either...

Brette:)

I can just imagine "J3 The Art of Suicide" as a convention module - maybe sponsored by Grimtooth of FBI?

This seems to be me to be a pretty deliberate troll, one way or another.

Aside from the fact that no one except for this guy has seemingly ever heard of ANY of these modules, as has been noted TSR would have never touched these supposed modules with a 10 foot pole.  Some of the titles don't even sound like D&D titles:

The Art of Suicide
Crime = Social Justice
Finite Consciousness (Tragedy of Hubris)
The Horror of Truth
Starving Gods (A Tale of the First Apocalypse)
City of Decadence

I mean, seriously?

Even a cursory Google search turns up nothing on several of these titles.  Interestingly, when I did a search on the title, "Slaughter of Firbolgs", I found out that word "Firbolgs" is a Gaelic word. So is this guy really trying to say that there was a TSR Ireland too, completely separate from TSR UK?  

In other words, the guy is just trying to stir people up or we are looking at another situation like the "The Realm of No!" from last year.  Either way, its reeks to high heaven of bullsh*t.
