after moving to a new area i checked out the local game shops. saw these on the shelf and picked them up since i didn't recognize them. they're all copyright 1992 from TSR, have no covers, and color map inserts.  anyone know where they come from?

I think they come from the D&D Adventure Packs:

The Dragon's Den

http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/dd/dd-dragonden.htm

and the other two are The Goblin's Lair and The Haunted Tower.  Copyright date is the same.

Looks like you have the three from The Dragon's Den and one from each of the other two.  They should be 16 pages in length.

Not that "play 'em" would be too radical a suggestion? I'm sure someone would, though. :)

i may actually do that, hopefully no one else in my group has seen these either.  unfortunately we don't get together as often as we'd like anyone.  we've managed to spread ourselves over five states...

Must admit those aren't familiar to me either, Dave, and presumably short adventures given the context? Wouldn't mind hearing whether those get a content "thumbs up" from a read through, both for relatively casual use and whether they stand alone.

All too commonplace that group dissipation, but good to keep on trying. :)

In one of the spoof versions of that pamphlet the other woman tells her not to make that face.

i'll go through them in the next couple days and let you know if they're worth a gaming night. just need to finish putting the rest of my collection away. after several moves and more than one stack of "i'll get to them laters" i decided i should finally inventory everything again. the past few nights have been "i'm pretty sure i used to have one of those" and "wtf, why do i have four of these?"...

All of them ok for one night game sessions.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!
