Return to AD&D Central BROWSE MY AL-QADIM ITEMS CURRENTLY IN STOCK "The Seven Voyages of Sinbad, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Aladdin and His Magic Lamp -- these and other classics fill the pages of the Arabian Nights. Each tale is told by Scheherazade, a beautiful young woman who reveals them night after night to a murderous king. After a thousand and one nights have passed, she wins his heart with her stories and her life is spared. The tales of the Arabian Nights stand among the world's greatest works of fantasy literature. Yet this genre has been virtually untapped by the designers of fantasy games... ...This is the Al-Qadim campaign -- a realm of wonder and awe, where threads of Arabian legend are richly interwoven with the fantasy of the AD&D game. Like Scheherazade's tales, the Al-Qadim campaign blends the real with the imagined, the natural with the supernatural, creating a unique new realm of fantasy. Andria Hayday,   Al-Qadim: Arabian Adventures
"Magic carpets, ghoulish vixens, genies rising from the sand in a whirlwind of smoke and fire such wonders, spun into tales by the fabled Scheherazade, enchanted a king for a thousand and one nights. The AL-QADIM campaign will enchant role-players for a thousand and one more. You are about to discover an exotic realm inspired by the tales of Sinbad, Ali Baba, and other classics from the Arabian Nights. The first in a series of products, this volume features everything DMs and players need to launch the AL-QADIM campaign: New rules for adventure, including desert survival, turning the hand of Fate, and averting the mysterious power of the evil eye New roles to play: bold desert raiders, swashbuckling corsairs, clandestine slayers, mystic clerics, wizards of fire, sorcerers who command the genies, and more over 20 roles in all! New proficiencies, from camel-riding to haggling at the bazaar New spells and a unique realm of magic, featuring the provinces of flame, wind, sea, and sand An introduction to Zakhara, Land of Fate, a new setting for the AL-QADIM campaign" 1992 ...

"Discover the secrets of sha'irs, who counsel and cavort with genies. Unravel the mysteries of elemental mages, who bend flame and sand to their will! This magical tome holds a wealth of new information about Zakhara's exotic wizards and their dazzling enchantments. Within you'll find new kits, from clockwork mages to spellslayers. Here too are new spells and proficiencies, plus clandestine and nefarious societies - exposed at last! A must-have for all Dungeon Masters and wizard players in the AL-QADIM campaign." "This book should more appropriately be called 'The Complete Al Qadim Wizards Handbook,' because a large portion of the book is devoted to new kits for wizard characters. These kits work best as NPCs, because most of them don't use normal spellcasting rules, but new variations which take days, months, or even years of setup. Examples include the Mechanician, who places his spells inside clockwork automatons, or the Spellweaver, who weaves them into tapestries. They are interesting ideas, and DMs will probably want to use them in their game as soon as they can write them up. But it's hard to imagine a player getting excited about them. Sha'irs are not forgotten, though. There's a large section of the book about details of the sha'ir's gen, and a list of rituals the Sha'ir can undergo to make his gen more powerful. This list is not all-inclusive -- it encourages the player and DM to make up their own ritual if they wish to improve the Gen in a way not listed in the book. At the end of the book is a list of new spells for Al Qadim mages. There's more here than is contained in the usual AD&D supplement- quite a few spells for every level. New spells are usually interesting, this being no exception." ... from Amazon user Chris Dudley 1994 ... Sam Witt ... 128 pages ... TSR 2146 ...

Sea serpents twist and sliter beneath blue waves. Alongside a world of stunning beauty and idyllic leisure exits a harsh realm of legendary beasts and monsters. The AL-QADIM appendix for your Monstrous Compendium contains 64 pages of monsters drawn from the fables of the Middle East.

This set has an odd misprint - or at least this particular set I'm looking at (3/21/2014) - The "Holy Slayer Sourcebook" booklet cover is stapled to the "Adventure Book". The MC sheets are: Cobra, Giant; Genie, Tasked (Deceiver, Oathbinder); Gibbering Mouther; Greyhound, Saluqi; Marrashi; Sandman; Wind Walker. -Wayne "The Assassins of Zakhara strike in silence and from darkness, certain of their faith and the rightness of their cause. The slayers carry out the orders of their Grandfather assassin, never questioning his wisdom or direction. Assassin Mountain is the DM's guide to the secrets and objectives of the assassins. Captured inside this Sourcebox, you'll find new information about the holy slayers of Zakhara, from their methods, tools, and secret stucture to the means used to ensure the silence of their members. The adventures within pit the player characters against the slayers of the Everlasting, one of the most powerful and influential sects in Zakhara. The web of deceit and terror spun by the Everlasting weaves its way into the city of Liham, entangling the PCs and leading them to the perils of the assassins' stronghold. Assassin Mountain includes: * two booklets filled with source material on the holy slayers of Zakhara and adventures with the Everlasting; * six cardsheets; * MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM pages detailing new genies and other monsters; and * a poster map of Jabal Sarahin, the fortress of the Everlasting.

This set has a similar misprinting as ALQ2: The "Muluk, City of Kings" booklet cover is stapled to the Adventure Book. Seems to me it should go on the Campaign Book ("32-page campaign guide describing Muluk" as the promo text says on the back of the box). The TSR coding isn't much help... both booklets have 9432XXX1501 as their product code on the title pages. The MC sheets are NPCs. -Wayne "There is no escaping Fate in the world of Zakhara, home of caliphs and favored land of the genies. And the Fate of brave adventurers is to travel the wide realms, vanquishing the unrighteous and protecting the meek.
