Does anyone know the contents of this module? One recently sold in Australia and the Seller said it had 9 maps. Are these in the text or are their detachable parts?

I know that the four modules: Cloudland, Raid of Rajallapor, Disappearance on Aramat and The Horrible Secret of Monhegan Island were all published, but did they publish the planned Monster Handbook?

Thanks.

They did publish the Monster Manuscript which contains the monster manual entries for the monsters in the Dragon Lords line of miniatures.  I recently picked up a second copy - I couldn't help myself:




** expired/removed eBay auction **




As for maps on the Cloudlands, they would all be in the book but I don't remember how many there were.  It didn't come with a foldout map or anything like that.

Thanks for that! Looks like a nice price on the Monster Manuscript. I'll try to pick one up as well now. Cheers.

Cloudlands is also a terrible module, so if you're planning to play it, don't pay too much for it :D

Grenadier has a d20 module out there.  Eldest Son is made to highlight Grenadier's miniatures, but it is also a good module with nice artwork.

The maps are in the center of the book, so could be detached.  They are numbered C1 - C8.  Page 14 contains some "map fragments" which I guess makes up the 9th map.

Thanks everyone.

There are two BINs on Ebay listed now for US$30 + . I just bid on one in Australia and it was won by a foreign buyer for A$36.00. In fact, I've noticed this item is always highly priced on Ebay.

I decied to look on AbeBooks and Amazon 2nd hand and 'lo', there were eight of them priced between $1.99 and $14!!!! I just got one for $3 as part of a multiple purchase.

So much for the mystique of this module and the high prices on Ebay.

Apparently, they're all four available on Amazon.  Interesting.
