Palace of the Vampire Queen was the first adventure module ever published. You don't hear much about it outside collector's circles because it wasn't done by TSR or any of the big 3rd party outfits like Judges Guild. Nowadays a copy generally commands crazy stupid money from those completist collector types. When one of these babies appears on eBay the seller sometimes posts an image of a page or two. I've swiped a couple of those images, and got a few more from a link at
Dragonsfoot, the official home of old school D&D awesome. Click on the small version to see these pages in their full glory. Enjoy.
The product is called ' Dungeon Master Kit - Number One'. The term
module wasn't in use yet.
"The kit itself is only a basic outline - you can make it a dramatic adventure." A motto to DM by.
This intro is
fabulous. If you can read that and not be ready for a kickass adventure, then you're in the wrong hobby, bub.
Part of the leve 1 adventure key. I am totally swiping the Madman and his horde of cats and putting them in another dungeon. Coming soon to Jeff's Gameblog: my 3.5 stats for a
Housecat Swarm.
The map itself may be crude but the marginal decoration is absolutely charming.
