Miscellaneous D&D Collector's Guide

[Cadence]

Thanks for the leads! Throne of Bloodstone and Arch-Magic are both too late to be it (but I'm following up on both of them out of general curiosity).

@Scrivener of Doom The name Arduin Grimoire definitely rings a bell, and the main layout of 1977 cover with the flying thing and fighter is spot on for one of the several books I had been flipping through when I found the spell (including the off-white paper color for the cover) -- but I have absolutely no memory of the details of what the flying thing looked like. I might have been flipping through one of the related books too. Thanks for checking the .pdf!

 

[Scrivener of Doom]

I didn't find it from my first read through, Cadence, but I was a tad distracted by my 10-month old son. I'll PM you.

I completely understand. If my memory is correct it was the very last spell in whatever book it was in. The only other name that keeps coming to mind is Blackmoor... and I didn't think there was anything quite that crazy in there. (I shouldn't have waited 30 years before I started looking for it!)

It definitely wasn't Blackmoor: that would be way too powerful for OD&D. Please let me know if you find it in Arduin Grimoire; you've piqued my interest!

I think I've got it! It must be from 1982's "Tome of Mighty Magic" by North Pole Publications: Jeffs Gameblog: The Tome of Mighty Magic
"one 20th level attack spell erases the target from existance, as if they were never born".

Thank your for the lead -- it gave me names for some of those snippets of memory, led me to more useful sites, and gave me more things to put on my wish list!!

Got a copy of "Tome of Mighty Magic" in and put a synopsis up at: http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-pathfinder/331179-tome-mighty-magic-1982-flashback.html#post6040396

I've recently added a number of non-English books to this Collector's Guide, almost all of which are linked to the D&D cartoon series. I've also add a bunch of obscure stuff to the "Odds and ends" section, including the D&D Big Wheel cycle and the D&D sleeping bag. I didn't managed to track down a picture of either the cycle or the sleeping bag though

Sorry for the thread necro but...

I was recently inventorying my books and came across In the Serpent's Coils by Tiffany Trent and discovered that it was actually the first in a series of six books in the Hallowmere series published by Mirrorstone/Wizards of the Coast.

Since there's a Mirrorstone section in the Collector's Guide, I thought I'd point them out to you.

Thanks for that MasqueradingVampire. Is there any indication on the book that it is set in the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons? The other Mirrorstone books listed all make some sort of claim to be D&D books, but that's not true of all Mirriorstone releases. If there is, I'll add the Hallowmere series to this guide.

Only as much as, say, the Sucks to Be Me novel listed in the wiki. Probably more so, I'd say, since its got a sort of Ravenloft-ish faery tale vibe to it.
