B1-9 In Search of Adventure (Basic)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Threshold. The northernmost town in the Duchy?and your last stop before your adventures begin. Threshold, the gateway to mysterious castles, lost temples, deadly caves and caverns. You have heard the stories and legends now you wish to see for yourself.

This product provides a complete campaign adventure that will take beginning characters from 1st all the way to 3rd level and possibly beyond, drawn from the first nine modules of the B-series adventures.

We (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end.

This PDF scan does not have OCR'd text. The descriptions should really state this IMHO as some of these legacy D&D modules are OCRed and some are not.

In the original, the maps are perforated for removal. The reprints don't have that.

This is really a great bargain -- basically nine classic D&D modules in one. I only wish similar compilations existed for the expert (especially) and later sets. These are basic dungeon crawls for the most part. They are often associated with the example "Known World" / Mystara and particularly the area of the Grand Duchy of Karemeikos around the town of Threshold (where PCs are assumed to be from). However, as they are basically stand-alone dungeons, they can be easily inserted into practically any classic D&D setting -- so if you created your own campaign world it's not a problem. Adapting to 1st edition AD&D would take little no work, though adapting to newer versions would be hard (basically a re-write).

I can't say anything about the copies available here; I know this from the original publication, which went missing over the years, but I'd like a new copy.

Note: The B1-9 is misleading is, it contains only select parts of these modules, with some being only nominally included. It is not really the complete anthology it claims to be.

Just got my PoD copy today. The printed text is a little light, but very much readable, that is my only complaint. The cover is quite stunning and is bound with glue, very sturdy. The maps are all in the back, as well as notes etc... I am pretty good on my books, so I can imagine that this will easily last me the rest of my life. I highly recommend the PoD, especially for the price.

to double-check regarding a thread from '18, can you tell us if p.86 is duplicated in the POD?

Buy the Grand Duchy of Karameikos Gazetteer GAZ1! It will aid in fleshing out the background to help tie together the feel of the campaign.

Thankfully there is no page missing from the PDF; it's just an extra page. Not sure what that does to the POD version, though.

Looking forward to reviews on the POD version! I have the original, but would prefer to markup a copy if it is decent. The full preview looks slightly blurry so I have my doubts.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
