#2 Mortepierre Jan 23, 2007 16:43:18	T'was Greyhawk Adventure - book 7, published in 1988 IIRC. Can't seem to find a pic of the old cover though.

She took over writing the Greyhawk Adventures books after Gary Gygax left TSR (and continued his storyline in the Gord the Rogue line). But they are pretty bad, both as stories and especially as sources for GH. I don't know if they've been officially disowned, but even official GH writers have been known to publicly s**** at them. They fall into the same category as other things like the "joke" Castle Greyhawk that would be better off blotted from the corpus.

#5 Mortepierre Jan 24, 2007 3:47:46	This book does not exist. --Erik Mona Are you being sarcastic Erik? Because I'm pretty sure that book was published given I can still find its ISBN #
#6 mortellan Jan 24, 2007 9:51:16	This book does not exist. --Erik Mona LOL. I am sorely tempted to draw a cover of it now.
#7 vormaerin Jan 25, 2007 1:38:42	*laughs* I'm not sure if that's a comment on its value as GH material (zilch) or on the fact that it is out of print and not available except through a curse of Ralishaz on the finder.
#8 ripvanwormer Jan 25, 2007 15:38:43	I think he means it never existed. It was likely announced by TSR (somewhere) but never published. RPG.net hints that this might be the case. Looking through the previews in old Dragon issues, the following books were announced: The Demon Hand - February 1988 The Name of the Game - July 1988 The Eyes Have it - September 1989 "Dragon in Amber" was never advertised in Dragon Magazine, which would seem an odd omission. It's also curious that the cover images of all the other Rose Estes books are easy to find, but not Dragon in Amber's.
#9 vormaerin Jan 26, 2007 0:09:50	Odd. Its listed as out of print on various online bookstores. Mind you, I don't generally shop them so I don't know how reliable they are at distinguishing theoretical books from real ones. And it had an ISBN number according to Mortepierre. A phantom book. Heh.
#10 ripvanwormer Jan 26, 2007 1:24:00	Mind you, I don't generally shop them so I don't know how reliable they are at distinguishing theoretical books from real ones. Not very. Roger E. Moore's Greyhawk hardcover is still on Amazon. And it has an ISBN number.
#11 erik_mona Jan 29, 2007 2:45:53	Publishers often appy for ISBNs months, or even years, before a product comes out. That results in a lot of ISBNs for books that never got published because a title changed, the book was dropped for strategic or financial reasons, or whatever. This book is one of those books. It does not exist. There's also a 90s-era Endless Quest book by Wes Nicholson that is supposedly set in Greyhawk. It doesn't exist, either. --Erik
