I always enjoyed playing my 2E Al-Qadim game back when. I do not know Al-Qadim very well, however, connect to http://www.al-qadim.com for some good resources for Al-Qadim. They even have a link to Al-Qadim 3E rules! Hopefully that helps a little. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 3] Author : Undying_Councillor Date : 07-26-06 07:26 PM Okay, the Al-Qadim stuff is seriously out of print, but that is what this forum is all about. :) Firstly, you'll need to track down Al-Qadim: Arabian adventures Sourcebook Land of Fate Boxed Set These two will kick off the adventures and give you all of the setting-specific classes as well as a grnad tour of the world (you do know that it is south of the Forgotten Realms main countries, don't you?). After that, I'd recommend the Sha'irs Handbook (very neat, covers the native spellcasters) and maybe a Monstrous Compendium Supplement or two. I've found a couple oneBay for you. Maybe this would be a start http://cgi.ebay.com.au/AD-D-2nd-Edition-Al-Qadim-Arabian-Adventures-2126_W0QQitemZ190011319032QQihZ009QQcategoryZ44112QQssPageNameZWD2VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem [Arabian Adventures] http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Al-Qadim-Land-of-Fate_W0QQitemZ190009817813QQihZ009QQcategoryZ44112QQssPageNameZWD2VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem [Land of Fate Boxed Set] A simple search on eBay yielded 73 results for Al-Qadim, so you could check it out. Hope this helps. I ran Al-Qadim for a while but eventually sold my gear to feed the growing attachment to the Realms. If there is anything else I cna do, just drop a line. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 4] Author : wushufunk Date : 07-27-06 11:16 PM thanx, i checked out a pdf of land of fate on paizo wich only has the charechter portian of the rulebook. unfortunently i need mostly flavor text it does seem that the al qadim website has enough of that for what i need so i have no complaints. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 5] Author : Agathokles Date : 07-28-06 04:24 PM thanx, i checked out a pdf of land of fate on paizo wich only has the charechter portian of the rulebook. unfortunently i need mostly flavor text You probably got the rules book (Arabian Adventures) rather than the setting book (Land of Fate) -- the latter has no rules at all. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 6] Author : wushufunk Date : 07-28-06 06:36 PM wait so even the adventurers booklet in the land of fate boxed set is mostly fluff? and is the sha'ir handbook worth it if i'm not going to use the rules? does it have stuff about gen, that would be sick! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 7] Author : Agathokles Date : 07-29-06 09:21 AM wait so even the adventurers booklet in the land of fate boxed set is mostly fluff? and is the sha'ir handbook worth it if i'm not going to use the rules? does it have stuff about gen, that would be sick! The adventurer's guide to Zakhara booklet is mostly if not entirely fluff. It describes the geography of Zakhara, the religions and the way of life. The other booklet has some rules related stuff (mostly magical items and variant followers for high level characters), but the other half complements the adventurer's guide with setting info for the DM. The Sha'ir's Handbook is great, but mostly rules related, though it does describe gens and wizardly secret societies. Here is the condensed table of contents: Chapter 1: The Magicians, 6 (gens, genie rituals, sorcerers) Chapter 2: Wizard Kits, 38 (other wizard types not described in the Arabian Adventures book) Chapter 3: Societies Sorcerous, 72 (secret societies of sorcerers and elemental mages) Chapter 4: New Spells and Proficiencies, 112 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 8] Author : wushufunk Date : 07-29-06 11:33 AM thanx alot that helps -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Downloaded from Wizards Community (http://forums.gleemax.com) at 05-10-08 08:17 AM.
