That's great stuff! Aphonion is a new one for me although the author's name sounds familiar.

I did figure out that the cover is misspelled. It looks like a friend initialed the cover artwork and made the error. The inside cover info was written by Reynolds and he used the spelling Aphonion. This is possibly the best home brew publication error I have seen... the name of the campaign world prominently misspelled on the cover, lol.

Mars, I am shocked this one is new to you, but I bet it's in your searches now!

Happy hunting all.

Insane! These were selling for $30-$50 a week ago. I grabbed one for $28+shipping.

How much were they at Gencon?

I will be very interested to know what the adventures worth when you have read them. Are they good or totally crap?

Good point. I have quite a few T&T adventures and I can't recall if I've ever read a single one. Maybe its time to think about getting rid of them. :wink:

Since I've always read that T&T stuff is crap, I've pretty much ignored it. I'm pretty sure the only thing I have is Isle Of Darksmoke, only because Larry DiTillio's other work (for CoC, Pendragon, etc.) is so good. Don't think I actually ever read it though.

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

Posted: Sat Sep 22, 2012 6:58 pm

Isle of Darksmoke is an excellent scenario. A lot of T&T modules are pretty good, like Dark Temple. Buffalo Castle and first modules are not good at all, but GM adventures are most of time excellent.
