TDYK RPG Project - Post 1 of 50 Judge's Guild - Thunderhold & Sunstone Caverns
Over some undetermined period of time, I will be posting 50 all new scans of items from my collection of physical roleplaying games, magazines and suchlike mostly dated from 1974-1975. This will be scanned (200dpi), color corrected, repaired (some of them are 40 plus years old and show signs of wear and fading), adjusted for orientation and put into PDF. My goal is to make these versions as definitive as possible and to as high a standard as possible. I will also be rescanning a few things that I think need an upgrade and a little TLC. No disrespect to the original posters, but some of these scans are missing things or are in rough shape.
I will also include pictures of physical items that will not scan (for example the first D&D box set came with a wax crayon that you were to use on the low impact dice that also came with it) Why not include a picture of all that so that people who weren't there have a better idea of what we saw?
Since this kind of thing takes time and effort I ask for patience. For example All the World's Monster's Volume One & Two is 200 plus pages on colored, hole punched paper. It is faded, has some water damage and pencil marks that must be removed, tears and creases that must be patched with surrounding textures and faded text restored to legibility. This is totally fixable but will take time to do. When I am done, it will actually be better than the original (except for not being an original).
I will post pars for all things I post and will do limited reposts every time I complete 10 items. If you want me to repost, please wait until I announce that I am taking repost request. I'll pretty much ignore them until then and I encourage others to fill repost request as you are able.
Feel free to post these elsewhere, I would just ask that you leave the description information unchanged in the PDF.
Today's Item - Judge's Guild: Thunderhold & Sunstone Cavern's - This is one of the early modules/expansions that the Judge's Guild first put out in 1977. It arrived in mail in an envelope as part of a subscription plan. It was meant to be used as part of the City State of the Invincible Overlord. But could be used anywhere with a little work.
Like many other setting/modules from this period it included optional rules for DM's to use as they saw fit. I don't think modern players realize just how unfinished and how difficult it was to run a game with just the White Box and the supplements. The temptation to house rule and fix the system was impossible to resist and almost no publisher (or DM) from 1975 to 1979 bothered to do so.
I can't find the newsletter that accompanied this module. If anyone has a good (or any I suppose) copy of it please post. Even it is bad shape. I can fix it and restore text.
