Looking for the name of an AD&D module

[jonesy]

The module I'm looking for detailed a fantasy city and provided sample scenarios for city adventures. It came with full colour cardboard buildings and streets. I remember looking at it in a store way back in the 90's, but I can't remember what the name was.

Forgotten realms FR series supplement like that. Citysystem?

From there could it have been Falcons Revenge or Falconmaster or the third one Falmes of the Falcon?

It's not any of the falcon ones, or City System. I do recall it had a very dark cover, possibly black. I'm not looking for it for the buildings, but it did have a lot of them.

The Veiled Society had cardstock houses.

Or maybe Cities of Mystery mentioned in the Veiled Society blurb on rpgnow?

That one I have, and it's not it.


Edit:
Now that I think about it, it could have been a boxed set, but I'm not sure.

Finally found it through TSR Archive by going through all of the boxed sets one by one. FR8 Cities of Mystery.

The wikipedia article for it has this to say:

Ken Rolston reviewed Cities of Mystery for Dragon magazine #156 (April 1990). He could not see any specific link to the Forgotten Realms campaign world, "other than as a marketing feature".

Well, it certainly makes it hard to find. I don't know anything about the Forgotten Realms, and here's a product that is labelled FR and doesn't have anything to do with it. And the wikipedia list of modules doesn't mention that it has buildings, when that seems to be the main thing reviewers talked about. Huh.

Thanks for the suggestions, by the way. I think I'll check those out as well.

 

[darjr]

Thanks for asking the question. Very interesting set of adventures and such. I may check them out as well.

 

[JeffB]

Ahh. That was actually the one I was thinking of. Got the FRx designation right, but the name wrong.

I would personally avoid the Greyhawk Falcon modules---they have a few interesting ideas, but they're pretty bad, all-in-all....
