Old Judges Guild products available at DTRPG

Wow, this is nice, there are now 14 products on offer from Judges Guild's old offerings.

The prices look pretty good.

I've never had a chance to see any of hte 1e Judges' Guild stuff; can anyone recommend any in particular? The mods I hear the most about are the Dark Tower and Caverns of Thracia.

Caverns was good.

My favorites though, have got to be the various Portals of series. There were three different mini-campagins that were connected via gates. I'm really surprised that Necromancer didn't update them quickly as they would be good little meta settings that they could easily tie with other products like City State and Bard's Gate (if it ever comes out)

I hadn't heared of it before, but I love that classic stuff!!

It is great to see in "in print" again! Truly an enormous advantage of PDFs

Just as an FYI, they are listed, but I don't think they are available for purchase yet.

Lots of good stuff there. Mines of Custalcon was one I had as a kid and sold as a teen...I've been looking for it now for 6 or 7 years..it's one of the hard to find JG items, so this is a godsend for me.

Ready Ref sheets has all kinds of cool tables and whatnot in the same vein as the 1E DMG. Some of it is OD&D specific, but there is alot of stuff anyone could use regardless of rule system. I still have mine from 25 years ago.

And of course the classic Dark Tower, Book of Treasure Maps & Tegel Manor are must haves.

Personally I really love the settings like CSIO and the Wilderlands series, but pretty much everythings good there.

You can add them to your cart. I haven't tried checking out yet. I'll do that when I get home.

Not all of the good ones are up, but many of them are.

The "Thieves" is pretty good, though the treasure hoard is over the top. The Tegel and Tower books are a must buy. They are insane to aquire otherwise. I have heard good things about "Citadel of Fire" and "Storm Giants".

Looks like they have all been taken down. Clark said they were not quite ready yet over on the Necro boards.

Agreed, I distinctly remember really liking Portals of Irontooth and Portals of Torsh.

Although they are "dated" tournament style adventures, The Gencon IX dungeon and Of Skulls and Scrapfaggot Green are also very cool. I still have those...somewhere

Modron is another good buy. Necro has a free web enhancement thingy for the PGttW over on thier website about Modron (and the Rorystone Road one is excellent..that and the PGttW is all one needs for a great JG campaign 3.X style)

Well, at least they should be made available sometime; any word on when that might be?

Just so you know, the vast majority of the old JG stuff was for OD&D (the Diaglo version) and not AD&D. Although Dark Tower and the "Portals" adventures are prominent exceptions.
