Anyone know anything about this?

It's definitely the classic Columbia logo, so it's the same publisher as Harn:  http://www.columbiagames.com/  

From the site, it looks like it's OOP, since you can't pull it up by keyword or product #.  It's the first in a three-part adventure series, and the 2nd and 3rd parts are still available.

What!  Is someone not using Heroic Worlds!  Come on now people!  

Wonder if there will ever be another Heroic Worlds equivalent?  Lots of stuff from the 90's to catalog.  Any volunteers?  

I think an update would be a very lofty goal.  There is just too much stuff out there now to try and catalog.  Even if the book was dedicated to just fantasy roleplaying, it would be bigger than the original book.  If such a book were to be written it would have to be a joint authorship with a number of experts, one for each gaming system and an editor to compile it all.

I think volume is the problem. Everything published for RPGs from 1991 on would be tough without the explosion of smallpublishers after 3.0 came out.  I couldn't even imagine having to catalog just D&D stuff from 2000 on, much less the hundreds of other publishers.  Let's face it, Schick had it easy in cataloguing 1974-1991, 1991-2006 would be a nightmare.  I guess the joint authorship with say a few dozen chroniclers would be the only solution.  Even then the man hours involved in something like this would entail a full-time career!  It's nice to think about, though.

I wouldn't mind seeing 2000-2006 "left out" (at least for now).   I'd be happy with a 1991-1999 update.
