[QUOTE="SerHogan, post: 7695915, member: 6807512"] 1995... My friends and I suspend our Forgotten Realms campaign because we cannot find the module "Shadowdale" and we very much want to play the Avatar Trilogy. The local comic store where I purchase RPG stuff informs me it's out of print. The local gaming store does not have it. I scour the classifieds of Dungeon and Dragon magazines for addresses to stores across the country and then write letters to them asking them if they have it. Nobody does or at least the few responses I get tell me no luck. Six months later we go to a convention (a first for us and certainly an eye opener for 15 year olds... is that woman wearing a chain mail bikini?) and find it in a vendor's old adventure rack. Celebration! We then suspend our Star Wars campaign and dive back into The Time of Troubles only to discover the adventure is awful and so were the two sequels. 2000-2016... Go online at any time and find the adventure for purchase on ebay or some such site and have it in my hands in a couple of days. Moral of the story... Avatar Trilogy sucked, Star Wars d6 was awesome and the internet is a powerful D&D tool. [/QUOTE]
