Chris Perkins, as always, was one of TSR's best adventure authors, periodical editor of Dungeon / Dragon and remains one of the guilding lights at WotC.  Seeking Bloodsilver was published at about the same time as the Birthright boxed set was released in 1995.Which of course is the point. Once again, the best adventure was published in Dungeon #59 and not as a stand alone module.*sigh* I really did enjoy the Birthright setting. One of the best things about the 2E era. It came later in the product cycle, however. I can't say as I was much of a fan of the "Player's Secrets"  aspect of the product line as that seemed a blatant attempt to come up with a way to "sell crap modules to players" ...but the core design of the world and the idea of bloodlines, etc. was very cool. Which of course might speak to the issue at hand and highlight it more clearly. TSR put effort and "A" list creative talent in to their settings products, but did not devote the same care with their stand-alone module lines.From what I recall, Birthright appealed to older grognards and veteran gamers, but caught very little traction among newer and younger gamers.</blockquote>
