Hi all

Does anyone have or know where to locate a complete list of all D&D Silver Anniversary items that were released?

Thanks! Chris

I'm not sure how complete it is, but there is at least a partial list of titles in the series over on RPGGeek.

Silver Anniversary products were everything inside the Silver Anniversary boxed set (reprints of G1, G2, G3, I6, B2, S2, L3, and Holmes rulebook, along with the History of TSR booklet and Easley print)

The "Return to" series: Return to Keep on the Borderland, Return to White Plume Mountain, Return to the Tomb of Horrors, Against the Giants: Liberation of Geoff  While "Return to Tomb of Horrors) was published in 1998 and not 1999, it does contain a facsimile of S1, and begins the themes of the others, which is "return" to a certain iconic D&D location

Dragonlance Classics (although technically only the 15th anniversary of Dragonlance, it does have the distinctive silver border)

Ravenloft Silver Anniversary (updated to 2nd edition, and only available to RPGA members)

The Silver Anniversary page on RPG Geek, like many things there, is wrong.  I have no idea what Warriors of Heaven and other items are doing there.

Oh, and don't forget the little miniature books and boxes printed by 21st century games, while they have the silver anniversary logo they were not published until 2000.

This is from my own personal check of the products, not RPG Geek.  Without going back and reverifying, I could be wrong on some of them, perhaps missing others, but it's probably a fairly accurate list.

There were silver anniversary miniatures too.  I only have one listed here.

*Edit*

Here's a link to the WOTC silver anniversary miniatures produced:

IQ3 Warriors of the Gray Queen is a module by Jeff Grubb that came loose with Inquest #50 (June 1999). It's digest-sized, ties in with Return to the Keep on the Borderlands, and has the Silver Anniversary logo on the cover.

I expect Warriors of Heaven is included on the RPGGeek list because it has the Silver Anniversary logo on the cover  :P

Brilliant list!

Draconomicon, Silver Anniversary Edition

What is this? A special release of FOR1 that I don't know about, or something else?

Fast-Play Game, Diablo
Reverse Dungeon

Unless I'm missing something, neither of these seems to have the Silver Anniversary logo on.

Then, four more additions I noticed while checking your list:

Carnival
Sea of Fallen Stars
Wand of Archael
Wyrmskull Throne

According to some Usenet posts from mid-1999, some of the miniature reprint books seem to have been on sale as early as July 1999, but possibly only in Europe. I couldn't find any evidence that the miniature boxed set reprints were available that early though, so those might only have hit the shelves a bit later on.

(Apologies for my fourth consecutive post to this thread!)

After carefully reviewing the whole D&D product line for 1999, it seems pretty clear that the Silver Anniversary logo was slapped on everything released in that calendar year. All game products and novels carry that logo, so a broad answer to the original question is simply "everything published in 1999".

In addition to the game products already mentioned, that includes:

Demihumans of the Realms
Van Richten's Monster Hunter's Compendium, Volume One
The Scarlet Brotherhood
Priest's Spell Compendium, Volume One
Dragon Magazine Archive
Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas
Priest's Spell Compendium, Volume Two
Van Richten's Monster Hunter's Compendium, Volume Two

(Edit: The softcover reprints of the four Encyclopedia Magica books also carried the Silver Anniversary logo.)

Whether or not a list of everything printed in 1999 is a good answer to the original question is debatable.

I guess chrisdeputron needs to clarify what sort of list he is looking for -- everything carrying the 25th Anniversary logo, or a narrower list of products specifically made for the Anniversary?

Thank you dbartman and Echohawk for the lists and information. I was specifically looking for the products released for the anniversary as I had seen lots of items with the logo and was getting confused why there were so many but your last post Echohawk answers this point. So the real question is what is the definitive list of specific Anniversary made products?

I guess the answer is based on the definition.

The broader definition would be anything that was released that contained the silver anniversary logo or was directly referenced as a silver anniversary release.

A more narrow approach would be anything that had the silver anniversary logo and was unique.  Problem with this definition is that it could *technically* eliminate the silver anniversary boxed set, since it contained mostly facsimile copies of prior products.

I'd go with the former definition.

Thanks for the info Echohawk, I've since gone back and checked some of the items you mentioned, verified others, and updated the list accordingly.  Updates will be bolded.

I checked Reverse Dungeon.  It does not have the silver anniversary logo so it has been removed.  I can't check the Fast-Play Game, Diablo presently, but will when I can get to it.  If anyone else has one readily available, please check.

Everything that was released in 1999 is technically a "Silver Anniversary" release.  It's pretty easy to spot the ones that are specifially re-releases or celebrations of the 25 years, and ones which are just regular releases.  Stuff like the "Return to...." series are nostalgic look-backs.....stuff like Skullport and Guide to Hell are obviously just regular releases.

You should be very careful with the Inquest magazine adventures IQ1, IQ2 and IQ3.  The little digest books that are separate from the magazine are simply a supplement with most of the adventure actually inside the magazine.  I have seen most of these being sold as simply the digest book which is basically an incomplete item without the magazine.

I don't know about IQ1 or 2, but I have IQ3 and with this one the entire module is in the digest book. It's 16 pages, including an ad on the back for Return to the Keep on the Borderlands ("You're older. You're wiser. So what happened back there in the CHAPEL OF EVIL CHAOS?"). If I recall, the magazine hardly makes any reference to the module; there's not an article about it. I actually sold the magazine (for about $1) and kept the module for this reason.

In the case of IQ3, everything you need is in the digest, I don't even think the magazine mentions AD&D.  Not sure about the others as I don't have them nearby at the moment.

I'll have to dig my copies out but I'm sure IQ1 and IQ2 have most of the adventure inside the magazine - my IQ3 is probably in shrink.  There are also 1 or 2 other D&D supplements in other Inquest magazines too (not part of the IQ module run).

I remember selling an extra copy of one of the magazines only to someone who overpaid for a copy of the digest book by itself.

Could probably do a search here as well - we probably talked about it 5 years ago and have forgotten :)

One of the Inquest mods I have was purchased loose without the associated InQuest mag and is hard to use (like I really have time) without it.  If I recall, that particular mag is very hard to find!
