I'm sure this has been talked about here ad neaseum. I know that the Penhaligon Trilogy of novels does not follow any of the actual printed source material for the region. However, what I curious about is whether or not the other two books have little inserts and maps? I've read the first book and found it actually pretty enjoyable. I liked the 3 map inserts at the front of the book, well produced. I may just run a campaign based on the books and was wondering if the other books had map inserts as well.

anyone know?

I read those books a very long time ago.  I don't recall any maps or inserts, but I'm not going to trust my memory on that.  :P


I do know they were tied to the Thunder Rift setting, at least vaguely.  DMR1: Dungeon Master Screen for the Rules Cyclopedia version of Basic D&D included an adventure, Escape from Thunder Rift which had some tie-in elements to the Penhaligon trilogy.

Hope that helps.

The first book definitely has paperback sized maps in the front. And yes, DMR1...what an elusive and expensive $5 item from thge 1990's. I've been looking for it, but I can't morally bring myself to support those who try to sell it for $70. Madness....but I digress. Thank you for your input!

Reread the trilogy, but I think only book 1 has any useful maps inside - may check when I am home...

I realize this is an old thread, but I thought I'd mention just for the sake of trivia, there is also a (very thin) connection between these books and the AD&D 2nd edition adventure, "Hail the Heroes." One of the clues that the PC's can find while researching the lost Temple of the Shield is a journal written by Johauna Menhir.
