I have the maroon t-shirt with the cover art.

I have the maroon t-shirt with the cover art. I wore it to my FLGS this past wknd and got some compliments. Are these shirts still available does anyone know? My friend was wanting one. Thanks if anyone has info or link. Last time I remember they maybe only had S or M left but I don't recall where I got it from

Here is a slightly oddball question.

Here is a slightly oddball question.

What are your favourite Holmes-style adventures which aren't dungeons?

That is: in your opinion, are there any adventure modules out there which apply the ideas and elements of Holmes-era D&D outside dungeon exploration?

"Isle of the Abbey" by Randy Maxwell was originally published in Dungeon magazine #34 (March/April 1992) for 4-6 characters of levels 1-3. It was also featured as the cover illustration for that issue.

Although written in the Rules Cyclopedia era, the adventure is a self-declared homage to the blue book. The author only used rules, monsters, and magical items from the Basic Set (Mentzer or the black box) but I took it a step further and performed a Holmes edit (attached).

You'll notice a B1/B2 feel to the font and layout. I also included some players maps near the end. The best part? All you'll need is your copy of Holmes to run this adventure. Enjoy!
