Old "Slave" modules

[Yuan-Ti]

These were very thorough reviews of the original A1-4 that appeared a couple months ago at RPG.net. The reviewer also points out some good ideas for changes to make the adventures better.

A1: Slave Pits of the Undercity

A2: Secret of the Slavers' Stockade

A3: Assault on the Aerie of the Slave Lords

A4: In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords

At the very least, the ideas are good enough it is worth borrowing extensively from the modules.

Although the slave modules were very good I have them You will probably have a diffecult time finding them.

Well, not so difficult. I'm dumping my collection, and I happen to have the super-module A1-4.

And I'm sure it's easy to get one on eBay. Or from one of many dealers (Noble Knight, Le Valet d'Couer, Dragontrove, and Titan Games). There's always someone who sells off a collection on eBay or to one of those dealers (and I've even been contacted by yet ANOTHER dealer, but those dealers are the only ones I've bought from...).

So, it's always possible to find OOP material. It's just a matter of (1) what condition are you willing to settle for, (2) how soon do you need it, and (3) how much you're willing to pay. If you are able to settle for bent up and scuffed, and can wait for it to appear, you can easily get a good deal.

Just to set the record straight, the PCs CAN get their equipment back at the end of A4, so it's not the exercise in player frustration that everyone seems to think (although it may seems so at first). It's really challenging, with only a few precious opportunities for the equipmentless characters to find suitable weapons. In fact, players have to be really ingenious to survive. A great adventure.

A1-A4 and G1-G3 are my favorite classic adventures. I've run them countless times since 1981ish.
