Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Coloring Album

[Gaming Tonic]

This just hauled me backwards in time. I owned this and I loved it. There was definitely a golden age in rpg's and this might be a great physical representation of it. The artwork was fun and the mini adventure did use some make-shift rules if I remember correctly. It was a long time ago. Now I want to climb up in the attic and scrounge for some nostalgia.

Does anybody has inside pictures of it?

Probably not legally. Board Game Geek has a scan of the map from the Adventures in the Dungeon minigame available here, but the rules for the game are scattered through the coloring book, at the bottom of every second page.

Now I wish those scans had included more than just the line art. Here's the Board Game Geek description:

Adventures in the Dungeon is a small Dungeon-Crawler originally published within "The Official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Coloring Album." The game's rules are cleverly placed at the bottom of each page, and are complimented by a map of the Dungeon in the center of the book.

The game is designed for 1-4 players, who will assume the role of characters seeking The Holy Talisman of St. Cuthbert. The 4 characters (Paladin, Rangeress, Fighter, Wizard) each have different abilities.

To find the Talisman, players must wander the Dungeon and face the creatures therein. Combat is simulated with 2D6, and the players roll attacks for both themselves and their monstrous opponents. The various monsters have special abilities, and the characters will need to coordinate their efforts carefully to make it through.

Players win the Quest by finding the Talisman, and a scoring system is included based on how many monsters were slain, and how many characters survive.​

Sure, here are a few.

Is the link in the original post not working for you?

Hey, I just re-checked it, and the mini-game pages have been added!

Fail. You colored outside the lines... No soup for you!

A cheaper solution: pick up a copy of the original Monster Manual -- plenty of coloring opportunities there!

There were other giant poster-size D&D coloring books?

Yes, the one I had was an orange cover with that evil wizard from the old toy line (anyone know that wizard's name?). Actually, the only characters in the coloring book were from the toy line.

Kalak.

I wasn't aware of this one - have any pictures?

Also, back during the 3E glut, I picked up an "activity book" put out by one of the OGL groups. It has coloring pages, word puzzles, etc. - but it is nowhere as cool as this ol' coloring book.

Are you perhaps thinking of this book, kitsune9?
