These suppliments where designed for any system. There are conversion rules in the boxset for every system that was out in 1981. I have the box set which includes the Personalities of Sanctuary, which is what I believe you are talking about. Thanks though. There are I think 4 modules like the one you found on E-Bay, I don't have those.

So, thanks for seeing it and thinking of me.

I have the boxed set too, and as a fan of the earlier Thieve's World anthologies (the first four or so), I really enjoyed running OD&D and AD&D1e games set in Sanctuary using the boxed set, it was great flavor.

(Even better, my players HADN'T read Thieve's World so it looked like I was making up these great story ideas and adventures and creating these in depth characters myself. For a 13 year old DM, that was high praise indeed).

Well, thieves World is back and I think the new books (only two out right now one novel, one collection of short stories) is more similiar to the early TW books. No real big badasses running around dominating the stories. It's still one of my favorite setting of all time.

*WOW*

I was unaware of the return. The original books (Thieve's World and Tales from the Vulgar Unicorn in particular) were AMAZING and set the tone of my urban games for years to come. In fact, they were the source for most of my urban campaigns until Guards Guards! and Men At Arms from the Discworld set.
