Next up on our tour of each and every D&D/TSR release, currently in the year 1983, is a module that I clearly remember buying back when it came out. Up today is the adventure, EX2: The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror. Here are my 3 original shrink copies. Man, I love this one.

My negligence with respect to this TSR/D&D release tour goes without need of further comment, but back on track we are! We remain in the year 1983 and today's module is a big one for me personally. This one lit my imagination on fire! I give you EX1: Dungeonland. Here are my 3 original shrink copies

Let's keep our D&D/TSR release tour rolling with another module release from 1983. Up today, we have another RPGA exclusive, RPGA3: The Forgotten King. I bet many of you have never seen this one before as it is pretty obscure. Anyway, here are 2 of my 4 copies that you can take a gander at. Onward!

Next up on our tour of each and every D&D release by TSR is the final module in the "R" RPGA modules series, R4 Doc's Island. These were RPGA exclusives and as a result, quite rare these days. Here are my 3 copies. This is the only one of the 4 in the series never released in shrink wrap.

Yeah. We collectors are a demented lot. KB Toys staples a literal hanger on some of these modules are we are like โ€œA new printing!โ€

Up today on our tour of each and every D&D release by TSR, we have another adventure module to enjoy from the year 1983. Here is L2: The Assassin's Knot. Here are my 4 original shrink wrap copies and in my defense, these are of 3 different printings including the very hard to find "hanger" version.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them WASHINGTONโ€”With the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American people wouldnโ€™t notice them. โ€œDonโ€™t make any sudden movements, or theyโ€™ll spot us,โ€ Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said out of the corner of his mouth, [โ€ฆ]

As we stroll along on our tour of each and every D&D release by TSR, currently in the year 1983, we get to enjoy a big one today. I give you I6: Ravenloft. I have had the privilege of meeting both Laura and Tracy and gaming with them. They are great people. Here are my 3 original shrink copies.

We are just starting to enjoy the tasty 1983 offerings from TSR. Up today we have an iconic module release, I4 Oasis of the White Palm. For some reason, and I am sure it is a good one, I have 3 copies in original shrink of this module. Onwards!

16.06.2025 21:01 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 15    ๐Ÿ” 2    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Some cool stuff for sure in here. Many of these were "backstage only" gifts and quite hard to find.

Let's stretch our legs into the D&D release year of 1983. As this point, I was old enough to remember seeing some of these as a kid. In any event, up today is Monster Manual 2. Here are two of mine, a first print and a second print.

On our tour of each and every D&D release by TSR, we have arrived at the end of the release year of 1982. The last product from 1982 that we will enjoy is a module in support of the Expert Rule set. Here is X3: Curse of Xanathon by my buddy Doug Niles. Here is my original shrink copy. 1983 tomorrow!

We continue with our tour of each and every D&D/TSR release. We remain in the year 1982. Up today is another tremendous module. Let's all enjoy, U2: Danger at Dunwater. I am not sure why I have 3 original shrink copies of this one. It is a great adventure and I certainly do not have a problem.

The next stop on our tour of each and every D&D release is a re-release in 1982 of a previous adventure, S2: The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth which was a redo of the original released in 1976. Here are a couple of my 1st prints in shrink as well as a couple of my copies of the original from 1976.

How about we continue to explore the D&D releases from 1982? Up today is another adventure module from the RPGA exclusive "R" series. Take a gander at R2: the investigation of hydell. This one is the best of the series IMO. Here is my original shrink copy and a nice copy signed by Frank, the author.
