A tour post two days in a row?! Yes precious, yes! Up today on our tour of each and every D&D release from TSR, we have a pretty interesting 1983 module release to enjoy, M1(Solo): Blizzard Pass. This solo module contained "invisible ink" and a supplied pen to reveal it. Here are my 3 shrink copies.

Hey my peeps! I had to step away for a bit to help out with a little gaming carnival called Gamehole Con, but I am back and ready to pick up our tour! Up today, from 1983, we get to enjoy a module for the Basic Set, B5: Horror on the Hill. Here is my original shrink copy. Onward!

Next up on our tour of each and every D&D release by TSR as seen from the shelves of The Gamehole, is an accessory is support of the D&D Basic line. Up today I give you AC1: The Shady Dragon Inn. This book contains tons of pre-generated NPC's and the Inn map. Here is my copy in original shrink wrap.

We remain in the D&D release year of 1983. That year, TSR released a revised Expert Rule Set in addition to the new Basic Rule Set. Here are my two copies in original shrink.

Man. I have not really been feeling like engaging with social media of late, so I am sorry my D&D release tour has languished. We left off in the year 1983. That year saw the release of a third version of D&D Basic Set. Here is my original shrink copy. I will effort to be more consistent with this!

We have stumbled through a rift in the space time continuum and find ourselves at a Walden's Books in 1983 in front of the D&D section. Our eyes are drawn to a tasty new box set that was just released, The World of Greyhawk. Here are my two copies, a 1st and a 2nd printing.

Next up on our tour of each and every D&D release by TSR is another 1983 module out of the TSR UK studio. Let's all bask in the glory of, including the weird ass cover art, the module UK2: The Sentinel. Here are my two shrink copies.

Next up on our tour of each and every D&D release by TSR, currently in the year 1983, we have a new module series to enjoy. From the then nascent UK TSR offices, up today is UK1: Beyond the Crystal Cave. Here are my two shrink copies.

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!
July 17, 2025 at 5:26 PM
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.
July 9, 2025 at 3:11 PM
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.
June 24, 2025 at 3:50 PM
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.
June 23, 2025 at 6:59 PM
We remain in the D&D/TSR release year of 1983. Up today on our tour of each and every one of these awesome products, I give you I5: Lost Tomb of Martek. Here are my 3 original shrink wrap copies. One of them was Tracy Hickman's copy. Onward!
June 18, 2025 at 6:11 PM
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!
June 16, 2025 at 9:02 PM
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.
June 10, 2025 at 3:01 PM
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!
June 9, 2025 at 8:03 PM
We have just a couple of more releases to look at in the 1982 portion of our D&D/TSR release tour. Up today was a module release in support of the Basic Rule Set, B4: The Lost City. Here is my original shrink wrap copy. Onward!
June 2, 2025 at 3:40 PM
Next up on our D&D/TSR product release tour is another adventure module from 1982. I give you WG4: The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun. It is not universally beloved, but here are my two original shrink copies nonetheless. Onward!
May 29, 2025 at 7:00 PM
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.
May 27, 2025 at 4:44 PM
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.

We roll on with our tour of each and every D&D product release by TSR. We are currently in the year 1982. Up today is the third release in the "R" series of modules which were RPGA exclusives.
