Book of Artifacts????
I am what you might call an OLD school player. I have been playing D&D for about 27 years (my god, has it been that long?!?!?). When I first started playing I was looking for any kind of way to try and spice up my adventures for my friends. Then one day I went into my local hobby store and saw the Dragontree books. So what did I do? Like a novice adventurer I picked up the most interesting looking book and started reading it. It was the Book of Artifacts. I was instantly immersed in a world of Dungeons and Dragons that was unlike any other I had ever seen. Spell casting arrows (that were really funny to throw into an adventure at just the right moment) and bigmouth swords that got you into more trouble than out of. Or best of all was this Amazon Company that seemed to be interested in trade (or maybe behind some of the more sinister parts of the main D&D world). Who did finance the Slave Lords (modules A1-4)? I know that some of my uses were probably not what you intended but it sure kept my players interested.

Amazon Mutual Life Assurance Co? That was mine. My player character thief Twyla wanted cover to go on a mission, so she made up a story about being hired by a mythical AMLA. Sort of Remington Steele in reverse. Then I think it was Ben's character Posvalsky that thought it was good idea and invested some treasure in creating such a company, and somehow Twyla got stuck running it. Made an honest woman of her, drat it.

Those modules weren't ours. Though I'm sure AMLA would invest in some Slave Lords if they had a chance. Also our Handbook of Traps & Tricks talks about non-killer traps so you can capture the adventurers alive to sell for slaves.

Spell books and adventures. Cool! But. . . But . . . Where is it? The Book of Artifacts?
So here are my questions: Do you have any copies of the Book of Artifacts? Are you going to print any?
We’re working on it, also Book of Plots. They both need a little re-editing and neatening the paste-up.
Where can I get more information about the campaigns that these books were based on?
Well, nearly everything we ever put in print is at the website. Now that it’s easy to do downloadable PDFs we might put out some more stuff, maybe some campaign histories.
