It was published in February 1985" And O2 ranks among some of my friend's favorite one on one adventures. Why?! Mathew on the Amazon O2 review from Feb 2009 sums it up nicely; "</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111;">I have played through over forty modules in the D&D world. I rank Blade of Vengeance in the top five. I ran this module as a DM. My friend and I just wanted to kill a couple of hours with a one on one adventure. We both enjoyed this module so much that we purchased the rest of Jim Bambra's modules and my friend adopted the pregenerated character as his own. The rules are for the expert set, but I have always just used the storyline and converted the module to whatever format I wanted. This adventure has a rich background story, a linear but engaging storyline, reasonable and creative magic items, bits of mythology, and some tough combat. The adventure is almost Tolkien like. I have played most of the modules recommended by "darkseraphim" (he also reviewd this module)and I tend to agree with all of his reviews. Enjoy this module!"</span></span><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111;">What makes O2 "Blade of Vengence" so damn awesome?! We Mathew Leivers sums it up best with his 2011 Amazon review when he says; "</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111;">While it is written as a One-on-one adventure(one DM, one player) It would be easily be converted to handle an entire party. You'd probably want to enforce all elves who were related and from the starting town. I'm sure you could work in some other races if you considered them adopted children."  And we used the adopted children adventurers angle when my uncle adapted this module back in '86 for our party. We set O2 within Mystara's Alfheim. This made the campaign easily movable when it was time to move over to Greyhawk. </span></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNfcBdZK1pGrPNQc1F3i2Cg5ox14HCQGyiUiagQiq1U8IbR_s06dY-hTZRrmZ8zipaUKs-0RJH-G396rcD_z-BhHG3LL5CxPcFJ-rDHQVvmuBFe6_dlScp6QeJmzGCPearDMVrAciKJ1ph2MRS2N_y6xdWiTBbmAPwT3p60ejZ3YOFY4GGvEftH7eo/s778/16997.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="778" data-original-width="591" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNfcBdZK1pGrPNQc1F3i2Cg5ox14HCQGyiUiagQiq1U8IbR_s06dY-hTZRrmZ8zipaUKs-0RJH-G396rcD_z-BhHG3LL5CxPcFJ-rDHQVvmuBFe6_dlScp6QeJmzGCPearDMVrAciKJ1ph2MRS2N_y6xdWiTBbmAPwT3p60ejZ3YOFY4GGvEftH7eo/w445-h640/16997.jpg" width="445" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Because of O2: "Blade of Vengeance" adaptablility this module is a prime canadiate to move over to Castle & Crusades quite easily. Take the adopted by the Elves gambit & suddenly your adventurers have reason to deal with the Elves & fall out. And for a Tolkein bent this is a great module to play one on one with your DM as the origin point for your rangers or other wilderness with the Elves familial tie types. This is especially true for a druid or pagan style adventurer. O2: "Blade of Vengeance" (1985), by Jim Bambra with Phil Gallagher is a classic module & part of another era. And O2 is easily used with both classic & modern OSR retrclone resources. </span><br /><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/02/osr-commentary-on-o2-blade-of-vengeance.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/02/osr-commentary-on-o2-blade-of-vengeance.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2023-02-24T20:24:00-08:00'>8:24 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/02/osr-commentary-on-o2-blade-of-vengeance.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=8926763457173837548&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=8926763457173837548&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=8926763457173837548&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Yes,Mayfair games had been doing similar monster ecology/adventure themed books around this same time.

These adventures were meant to be run at the drop of a hat when you've got fifteen minutes before the players show up at your door!<br />AC10 was also another in a series of adventure anthology tittles from TSR in '87 which included <a href="http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2018/09/osr-commentary-hacking-b9-castle.html" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;">B9 Castle Caldwall & Beyond which I covered yesterday on the blog.</a><span itemprop="name"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/16976/AC10-Bestiary-of-Dragons--Giants-Basic?it=1" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;"><br />AC10 Bestiary of Dragons & Giants</a> has some really major innovations which are mostly forgotten today was the Draconic Spell Generator which according to the Drivethrurpg product entry had a few flaws; "</span> The draconic "Spell Generator". It had to be hand constructed from cardstock sheets, but when it was complete, it could be slid around to randomly generate spells for arcane and divine draconic casters alike.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Unfortunately a major printing error meant that players had to cut out many of the device's spell windows by hand. Despite this issue, this gaming accessory with its actual moving parts was a real innovation for TSR, matched only by the AD&D Fighting Wheel (1981). It was also a nice innovation for the "AC" series, which had already expanded the boundaries of production with its Dragon Tiles." This added a whole other aspect to the already expansive B/X game during this time. But its the monster expansion that really counts here.<br /><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="1600" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYl2_XwaV2Q1hWNQIDiylwUJsD_HLmXxct8Yfn-HMkOvW_xIcP_6sK5eOC6xCXq4Mwa89UXSU579kWdvkvyT0APXRI4T-mVM67yu9f0yGsDJzVXDxrVnj_zF2s0Gu_Xy3lVJny3HsmpgY/s400/interior+page.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px;" width="400" /><br /><br />There's a secondary type of Mountain giants in <span itemprop="name"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/16976/AC10-Bestiary-of-Dragons--Giants-Basic?it=1" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;">AC10 Bestiary of Dragons & Giants</a> that are super dangerous to PC's for the sheer variety of flavors of malice & malevolence that they come in; </span><b><i>"Mountain Giants.</i></b> Since hill giants were one of the earliest D&D giant races, it's only natural that someone asked the question, "But what happens when the hills become mountains?" In fact, Louis Boschelli asked the question first in the <i>Fiend Folio</i> (1981) for AD&D; his creation then became a Citadel miniature in February 1982 as part of their "Fiend Factory" line. This oafish, rock-throwing clod was pretty similar to its hill giant kin.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Basic D&D introduced its own Mountain Giant in <i>Master Rules</i> (1985). This new variant of Mountain Giant wasn't necessarily meant to match its <i>Fiend Folio</i> brethren. It could also throw boulders, but it was bigger and tougher than its AD&D kin. In fact, it could run as high as 20 HD, making it the toughest giant on record."<br />Yes I'm doing lot of copying & pasting when it comes to <span itemprop="name"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/16976/AC10-Bestiary-of-Dragons--Giants-Basic?it=1" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;">AC10 Bestiary of Dragons & Giants</a> but its really interesting & mostly forgotten monster & adventure  book these days. The real innovation was the gem stone dragons & how they relate to the expansive Basic/Expert/B/X cyclopedia dragons;</span><br /><span itemprop="name"><i><b>"</b></i> The ruby dragon was one of Basic D&D's gemstone dragons. The idea of gem-like dragons also originated in AD&D, as gem dragons; in <i>The Dragon #37</i> (May 1980), Arthur W. Collins wondered, <i>if chromatic dragons are evil and metal dragons are good, what sorts of dragons are neutral?</i> He then laid out a set of five dragons that answered the question.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">The gemstone dragons of Basic D&D again aren't actually the same as the gem dragons of AD&D, in large part because they don't have a natural niche. Instead of being the neutral dragons, they cover the gamut of alignments from lawful through neutral to chaotic. They're mainly intended to trick players, because the five original gemstone dragons look almost exactly like the five chromatic dragons. The <i>Master Rules</i> thus details: crystal, onyx, jade, sapphire, and ruby dragons. A brown dragon in that book (which looks like a gold dragon) later became the amber dragon. The Dragon Rulers of Basic D&D are apparently precious stones too: the Pearl chaotic ruler, the Opal neutral ruler, and the Diamond lawful ruler all debuted in the <i>Master Rules</i> too."<br />This is all directly related to the AC9 The Creature Catalog which is considered by many dungeon masters & players to be one of the most perfect monster books published by TSR during the mid to late 80's period. The monster ecology articles had been going in Dragon magazine for a long time by the time the Creature Catalog & <span itemprop="name"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/16976/AC10-Bestiary-of-Dragons--Giants-Basic?it=1" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;">AC10 Bestiary of Dragons & Giants</a> had hit the shelves.

There are so many names but they all have come to sell their wares. The merchant princes, the queens of the road, the travelers, & many others. They come from all walks of life & places unknown. The folk are an amalgam of many of the exotic, the alien, the unwanted, & the list goes on. But they are also the dreamers & the dream. There are powerful half blooded Elven princes among their ranks & dreamers of the first order. Assassins of 2nd level guarding the wiles of  alien escorts of the most dangerous & erotic aspect.<br />When these caravans come to call the merchant princes will come to call on the rulers & authorities of the local cities. Ancient contracts promising horrid curses are sited & pacts made every two hundred years are shook over a small pile of gold pieces.<br /><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1060" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinf7nJHKaIStkM7zYpu0ieWS2p49J99s2bxPBSuZr3TogUkhCt_DHoc5ox-OlctveHcLOfd8o0yOGoyILSk5EoR_U1GsDZUWfnUV20WQxIlex5NsijsdUPZhX44jn5nNhuNMQoJ2RkR_8/s640/Pasha_grasping_a_sword_at_his_hip_with_both_hands%252C_from_the_series_%2527Caravan_of_the_Sultan_to_Mecca%2527_%2528Caravane_du_Sultan_%25C3%25A0_la_Mecque%2529_MET_DP829060.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px;" width="422" /><br />He is not what he appears to be<br /><br />Ilusionists are some of the most valuable members of these mysterious caravans providing cover, creating distractions, & providing shows that attract people by the hundreds. This in turn provides the caravan marketplace with lots of customers. Wares are traded, soul pacts are made, & hundreds of pieces of dreams flow into the golden vessels of the caravans. The ancient powers of the Elves continue to ply their trade as they do in the modern day.<br />Going to a caravan market place may provide a party with a key book, occult treatise or other rare supernatural item forty percent of the time. There are certain forbidden tents where the erotic & exotic arts perform. But there are one or two 'special tents' that have late night or early morning performances at 'the hour of the soul.' These performances will drain one point of wisdom per customer & are by invitation only.<br />The merchant princes use these pieces of the human soul to perform black miracles back in their own lands far beyond the realms of dream.<br /><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="1228" data-original-width="1600" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyWfT0dubTqYSgGC4-ZL_hfJig96JMGV_C1a_nhNCqzTqLEmSlq-tMUYgn9uNhxC1YamJWpXtVia0ObswA6ddQ-JRO3jrK6ltW5GR64QTcv2axw2iI_BFIPQLGBG2_k-MljR_vjveTsvY/s400/Caravane_Marco_Polo.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px;" width="400" /><br /><br />There are often opportunities for adventurers to hire on to such caravans are paramount with them offering one  gold piece a day for grunt work &  six pieces for guard, military, & cargo duties. But there often powerful spirits & other supernatural predators among the 'acts' of these merchant princes. Those who hire on can be seen as potential fuel as well & should regard their tenure among these caravans as temporary at best. But there are valuable 'fairy gold' to be had & many an adventurer has been tempted by rumors of it. There is only death waiting for them however unless they are very careful. There will be a 20,000 to 2,000 gold piece treasury used by the caravan but there will be a efreet or genie guarding it of the most vile aspect. These 'treasures' will often turn to leaves or other debris when the characters exit the holding wagons. Changelings are often exchanged for strong human children who are considered a valuable treasure in their own right.<br />The various princes are often <i>huldra</i> ("hidden being") Elven blooded beings able to exist in the human world while powerful Elven wizards equip their caravans from Fairyland. These are seen as investments by their masters for the power of pure human souls is a value among the supernatural powers of incredible occult potential.<br />These caravans move across time, space, & dreams taking the relics from a million worlds but they are seldom what they appear to be.<br /><i><span class="fn"></span></i><br /><u><b><br />1d20 Random Strange Caravans & Weird Merchants From Beyond Table </b></u></span></div><div><ol><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Prince Albrus & his cohorts are a merchant train of incredible potential that is looking for a heir to a throne in Fairyland.

Because B4 is an introductory adventure it can be used as a stand in for the infamous Hyperborean vaults from the time of the 'Green Death'.</span><br /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-image: initial; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; font-style: normal;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="350" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaVL0OK2w7M0N9jv4w75B4H3TIXov_-a30-zTb63cvGSrDom3Aj75OsklQOZkedq3OwhFEb4Hcppg9pgSHIe4FdIvVRncJzPzHJa4UbzGT5BoghP4W4COrjP2R0zMkBNLyhpgJOgSHdy8/s400/Zargon.jpg" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px;" width="363" /></span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-style: normal;">This basically gives the perfect excuse to try out the newer mummy types from the new second edition mummies and undead sections which might make very interesting & challenging priests of Zargon.

They found refuge in the tomb of some long forgotten Elven minor noble. The tomb was surrounded by the skeletons of some unknown race of alien marauders. The orcs passed without disturbing the trespassers even as the mad cleric & the black wizard had teleported away. The pig faced horrors dressed in a mockery of human armaments snapped & squealed to each other before checking the next tomb.<br />For twenty sweat pounding minutes the adventurers didn't move a muscle. Then Evin carefully looked around the dusty forgotten corner of the ruin. He signed to his blood brother after taking another swig of water. They began to examine the strange skeleton's decrepit bandoliers & they turned to powder in Ajax fingers. Amid the dust there were bits of Mythril Elven chain armor & hilts of long forgotten weapons. Then Evin picked up one of the alien skulls. A single blood soaked named flooded back into his memory, Deodanth! He looked around the tomb quickly scanning the walls for a familiar glyph. He found it & more!<br />Evin signed to his brother without a sound, 'Time to leave!'. The glowing glyphs of Elven script pounded magically in time to the humans hearts & that's when the howling from beyond started! The stone floor outside the tomb reverberated with the sounds of orc feet & questioning panicked pig squeals. The orcs only had moments to register the human intruders fleeing. Then they came face to face with the ectoplasmic wrath of an ancient dead noble's ghost after his blooded enemies. To their credit they stood their ground only to be drained dry by the ancient dead noble's ghostly wrath howling from the unnatural Outer Darkness!"</i></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><i><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBE905h6Jd_w_1wS3RPENRxa9s3qSZP5aBaLh-P0L83wICx99vG5BA4z3Vnihae2lWoYwx6uk8hI_idfYciJJx-LzDHcFbcmZXqR6reQov29NjW8sK2reScZ5Cs_4NgnHc-Q7NWSP9n3Q/s400/Picture+1187.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px;" width="400" /><br /></i>The Elf Human Wars in Arduin are some of the most devastating events in the history of the campaign setting by David A. Hargrave. They mark the pivotal decline of the Elven people's domination in the setting with the swiftness of a series of brutal & down right nasty military campaigns to determine the rightful rulers of Arduin. These brush fire & forest fire battles mark the end of Elven domination. The rise of humanity on the back bone of the setting & the appearance of an alien people the Elves of legend  have come to hate above all others the Deodanths! A combination of Elf & vampire with a twisted touch of something feline strained through a glass darkly. The Deodanth comes from millions of years in Earth's future through one of the numerous dimensional gate ways of Arduin to slaughter Elves! The Elves paused from om their military battles with the humans to take down these unnatural foes but the cost was very high indeed.</span><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="1024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3O990d1NXk7GlSUSG0zlktTkCYJr6GOkUKWJ7tVLDvZD6RmFMbcUr_NDqH4hCbmnkogGDyZ9IQbuoz-m-9iTafoQWNROKizwbGQefgxuJBmrcxdJef5-Zyp2ozyhyphenhyphenN1W60rSwXCte8Ak/s400/Deodanth.jpeg" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; color: #333333; padding: 8px;" width="400" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Deodanth (cross of Elves & Vampires) concept art from the Arduin Grimore,1977<br /><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/deodanth" style="color: #005582; text-decoration-line: none;">From the hashtag deodanth here</a></span></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; text-align: center;"> </div> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><br />All of this information comes from <span class="st"><a href="http://empcho.bizhosting.com/worldguide.html" style="color: #005582; text-decoration-line: none;">The World Book of Khaas, Legendary Lands of Arduin </a>page 552.
