I hope you'll pardon the commercial post, but we thought the AD&D community here at The Acaeum Forums might be interested in this announcement.

At next month's Gen Con, Goodman Games will have available for sale a new First Edition version Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure called Saga of the Witch Queen.  

This DCC adventure, or more accurately this DCC adventure compilation, is the product of the combined efforts of well known DCC author Harley Stroh and myself, lowly First Edition dungeon master Jon Hershberger.  Harley and I have pulled together Dungeon Crawl Classics #17 Legacy of the Savage Kings and #17.5 War of the Witch Queen, added a bridging adventure called The Lost Passage of the Drow, and converted the whole thing to First Edition.  

The conversion to First Edition is every bit as complete, if not more so, than last year's 1E version of DCC #12.5 Iron Crypt of the Heretics.  The monster and NPC stat blocks have been replaced with First Edition standard stat blocks (there are a few "improved" monsters whose 1E stats have been taken up a notch), spells and spell lists have been replaced by their First Edition predecessors (with a few new spells listed out like you'd see in the PHB), the DC mechanics have been replaced by standard First Edition rules mechanics, and the magic items have been converted or replaced by their First Edition versions.  

This DCC adventure compilation will be 80 pages, and will be available at booth #2615.  Goodman Games has committed to have plenty of copies on hand for the convention.  However, they are going to limit purchases at the convention to two (2) copies per person.  If you're interested, be sure to come by the booth. Early is probably better, especially considering the availability of this year's Gen Con special.  

If you're unable to attend Gen Con, or miss out on this DCC compilation, Goodman Games will be making this available for order from the online store for a limited time following Gen Con.  

Here's the link to the Goodman Games website, where the cover preview has now been posted:
